    New headlights?

    I've been kicking around the idea of getting the sylvania's too. you can pick them up locally and they should still be an improvement over old stockers. Plus it's only like $40 for the pair.

    BG springs..your thoughts

    I've been thinking about picking up a set of these b&g springs. I'm just curious to see if the drop is too low for my liking. Only one way to find out. I need to check out their spring rates vs other options first.

    steering/shaking issue

    I've been having the same problem. The vibration in the wheel isn't THAT bad, but it's definately there. I've tried driveshaft/carrier bearing and 2 new tires. I've gotta check the front tires and then I'm gonna check the steering components.

    White smoke behind alternator, around intake & overheating

    they are both correct....I've sprung that leak before :) I think I had to remove my alternator to get to it. It wasn't that hard with the alt removed.

    so I got to go check out the car today and I can verify that it is a real car. I even started it and drove it for a second. Needs some work but it's a solid base for a drag car. The car is LOW. The slicks on the back are actually tucked into the quarter panels. The front springs have 0 play...

    E-brake Adjustment?

    everybody is correct!!! take the boot off and you'll see where the cable comes up through the bottom of the handle. There's 2 10mm nuts tightened together. Loosen the top one then tighten the bottom one then tighten the top one. I think the book says it should click 8 times or something when...

    my 1st supra. 89 turbo targa top 170K

    do some searching and you'll find a ton of info on how to prep the head and block for a mhg. I'd say make sure everything is in good condition before turning up the boost. All the little rubber hoses and such like to become hard and crack on an 18 year old car.

    9 Second Supra vs 9 Sec. Sti

    that supra wasn't leaving the line very well. Seemed like he was a little late on the gas when the yellows dropped and then 'maybe' had some traction issues.
