Yeah, I jumped into that, and was going to go with the Stance's but it doesnt save me anything over the HSD's (I think they are pretty well the same as the Stance's) as I have to pay more for shipping to Canada. This way, it costs relatively the same and I get it all done after the first week of...
August 22nd Update
Sunshade replaced (thanks to KevinM for having one for me .. lol)
Sept. 10 car goes in for brakes (I have SS lines that will be added). Brembo front and rear rotors and OEM pads (damn expensive puppies.. but they do last a long time). Dropped the idea about putting on a BBK...
Getting HSD's put into my 88 on September 10th, so will give my comments here afterwards. I have had Megan's and hated them for street use.. they would possibly be okay on a drift usage basis, but I dont like feeling that my car is riding on steel poles.. very harsh. (of course.. I never played...
Actually now that I think of it (and the simple fact that I actually asked for advice.. lol) I will take it in to the experts..
The one thing I really despise doing is fudging brakes. I will redo them on any car except mine. Its a simple task really and a proper "burn-in" is fairly simple (and...
I think he was referring to this:
"Another important tip for all MA-60 cars is to be sure not to over tighten the wheel lugs. The factory torque spec is 55 foot/pounds, always torque to this value. I have seen Supras where the wheels lugs were torqued to very high values 140 foot/pounds, this...
Did a search and couldn't find this, but if you replace the Calipers/rotors and pads on a Supra (front and rear), if you overtorque the calipers, will it cause the rotors to warp?
Curious because the owner of the 90 I just bought said that was why the front brakes shudder when stopping...
My car has the Greddy Replica from Shineauto Project

Photo is on the link above. Quite pleased with it.
Something to note though, if you go this route on a pre-89, you need...
The car I just bought (90 Supra 7MGTE) was rebuilt because the bottom end ran dry of oil because of the turbo seals losing oil. Our cars dont really warn us if its getting too low to be healthy... so the oil comment is a good hint if your losing oil abnormally, however I would think oil would...
Those wheels are excellent and probably the closest to stock wheel size (total height) so the speedo would also remain correct (if I did my calculations properly). Excellent fitment, but if your ever thinking BBK, remember.. 17's generally dont work. Otherwise, love that look!
Yes, unless you are going for 1/4 mile timings. The lower you are, the better in almost all cases.
umm.. provided your tuned for it.. lol. Regardless of tune though, a car at sea level will perform more optimally with less effort at sea level. If your doing a 10 sec quarter at 4000 ft above...
I think that 12 psi is 12 psi.. however... if you take an ice cream scoop and do one swing and fill it at sea level.. when you are where I live.. it would take a lot longer scoop to get that amount of ice cream.
Its not massive, however, (and this is how it works in my mind) you have to...
First.. bear in mind.. I am not an expert, mechanic, etc.. just another fellow Supra owner, so my comments are just that. They are from what I have researched.. not practical application.. but you asked for input.. so .. this is my 2 cents.
Personally I have never heard of a twin spool 550 on a...

Heya Rodel.. rather than flood your email, I have a web up. The skirts/bumper/whale tail spoiler/rear bumper add-on are all shine products. Let me know if you want any (by the photo name).
Supramania is not the place to get offended.. lol. Most people offer up advice (because most ask for it.. lol)... some good, some not so good. Just relax and enjoy.
Most people here will assume you dont know anything until they get to know you. Personally, I welcome it, because I have found out...
Are you talking about the sunshade? If so.. KevinM sells them if he has any more left in the "Approved Group Buy" Thread. (the one on my car is the third.. lol.. 1st was damaged in transit.. 2nd blew off because I was lazy when installing... )
Mine are...
Frt rims - 18x8 +35, 225/40zr18
Rear rims - 18x9 +35, 255/35r18
The wheels are 1/2 inch narrower than yours, but I think the fitment wouldnt be too far different than yours. Mine is on stock suspension (no drop) and I would drop it 1.5" except the roads here arent very forgiving for...
