Thanks for the replies, looks like I win the argument.

I am in the midst of a debate over whether or not a shock absorber will change the ride height of a vehicle and would appreciate input from the Supra community. Please if possible support your response i.e. SEMA reports, engineering articles, manufacturer statements etc. The basic statement is...

Please forgive my ignorance, but why two BOVs?

Isn't chemical stripper a lot more work in the end since now you have to remove all trim so that it isn't damaged by the chemicals, clean and prep the bare steel (any chemical residue left in seams and crevices can and will seep out eventually), apply etching primer, sand, prime, sand, fill...

I had to laugh at the pic of the cargo area because I too carry around a full tool box. I wonder if this is a normal habit for other Supra owners? Nice work on the reconditioning!

It used to be an NA that the guy swapped the complete drive train (engine, trans, diff, electrical) from a turbo car that had been totaled. He said it will turn over but not start. Sounds easy. I plan to get it up and running, shampooed and shined then sell it to pay for a new paint job on my...

Are there known issues with the differentials and if so how difficult are they to rebuild say in comparison to a ford 8"? After replacement of the bearing with no change at all in the noise, what I though was a bad wheel bearing I am thinking might be a noisey diff. I found the pitch changes...

All good ideas, Thanks.

AWESOME! Since the engine is apart waiting for new oil seals from Toyota, I went and checked the pivot pin as suggested and sure enough it was missing. I will make sure to use lock tight and stake it in place this time. Is this a common failure? I would never have thought to check that the...

18 months ago I replaced the head gasket and the engine has run perfectly until last week when an unusual whining noise was heard for about 2 days followed by a significant oil leak at the front of the engine. I pulled the top T belt cover and found a groove cut in the belt along with shredded...

My 87 turbo with 136k miles has a rumbling noise from what I thought was a bad rear wheel bearing. Apparently the previous owner thought the same thing because when I pulled the left rear spindle it looked as though the bearing had been replaced already. I went ahead and installed a new bearing...

Reminds me of the Lexus saphire blue

Oring #64213 @ Checker Oreilly auto parts. Just an FYI if you are rebuilding the CPS, the internal seal and bearing are also the same as a distributors' and are readily available from your local parts store or a bearing supply source. Just reference the numbers printed on the seal & bearing...

Maybe I am just imagining it but the sound the BOV makes seems to be louder and more frequent. The noise I refer to is the chichichi sound when letting off of the throttle. I also noticed that after freeway cruise the idle is erratic for a moment or two, bouncing from 400 to 1000 rpm. This...

That is the one that I remembered. As an FYI how did you find it? Thanks for the help!

Thanks! I appreciate the help. I found twos r us offers this kit http://www.kbox.ca/page16.html

A couple of years ago I remember reading a post on replacing the inside seals and bearing of a CPS or distributor. I have been searching for the post for the last half hour with no luck. Does anyone remember the post and if so could you please give me the address? Any advise from people who...

I also suggest engine and trans together. Just make sure your hoist is up to the task and that the chains are securely attached to the assy.

I am looking for a good used AT and the wrecking yards are asking if the car is ABS equipped. What is the difference between the two models? Speed sensors? ECU? and can they be interchanged?

My Cressida (A340E) started doing the same thing about three years ago. Trans wouldn't shift out of first but after the initial shift it worked fine for the rest of the day. Unfortunately, last week the trans went belly up.
