Intermission: Supra Autocrossing

Well, I haven't updated this in quite some time. To update my "top 5" concerns, here's where I'm at. 1. Suspension. I ended up getting a set of Ground Control Coilovers. They aren't listed for sale on GC's site, but I called them up, and they said they could make a kit to match the Koni struts...

I'm going to be watching this. I've been wanting to slowly convert my car to LEDs all around, and want to scope out quality diodes as well as see how you approach the taillight failure box and flasher relay.

Nice! Big long road trips are exactly what Supras are best at, I've done a bit of this myself. :) Stop by in MN if you feel like it! Pacific Coast Highway: North Shore of Lake Superior (In Ontario): South Dakota Badlands: Grand Canyon:

For a power goal of 400hp, the R154 is a solid choice. Going much past 500hp, an R154 can't hold up, and there are no good upgrade options for it.

Got them installed and drove the car to work today (for the first time since October!). Car rides great on the highway - feels like a "bank vault on wheels". Super steady, super stable, great feel. Around town in extraordinarily rutted and potholed roads, the ride is acceptable. Way way way...

Those look suspiciously like ST sway bars. How certain are you that they're KW?

I didn't specify, I just asked for a set for the MKIII Supra. They provided 7" tall front and 8" tall rear springs.

Honestly I'm not sure how "custom" this was or not. I got the impression in their email that they only had a handful of kits remaining, so they are able to make them, but haven't listed them on their website. If you're interested, give ground control a call and see what they say. Springs (as...

Well guys, thought I'd throw an update in here. I got in touch with Ground Control, and they were able to make a set of adjustable spring perches to match some Koni Yellow struts. I just got them in the mail, and they're looking pretty spiffy.

Still have your first Supra?

I understand how you feel, completely. I've reached that stage of my life. I graduated from college with an engineering degree, I got a "big boy" job, and I dove head-first into buying and doing a Supra, my highschool dream car, just how I've always wanted one...and now I'm starting to realize...

Wow, this is fantastic. The next step is to kill off the newsbot entirely. :D

Prices on this style of light seem to be coming down quickly, I might jump on a set myself soon! http://www.amazon.com/Truck-Lite-27450C-Headlamp/dp/B007ED7HNY

I've been on that ship since I got my first Supra in 2006. I think I might finally be interested in these newer LED 5x7 lamps...

1. If it's not some crazy build, a quality 10W-30 as recommended by the owner's manual is going to be your best bet. 2. The oil pressure you describe is perfectly fine. 25psi while cruising, and 40psi on cold start are normal for your average healthy engine, I wouldn't fret with what you have...

The forum has slowed down a lot, but the quality of each post and build thread has improved dramatically. Look at the builds right now, there are a lot of very clean cars, well executed builds, and an explosion of restorations. Give it a little time, and SM is going to remain the landing zone...

Sorry, I didn't mean to come down as hard in my post as I did. I've driven a quite a few cars with V12s and I've been very unimpressed with them, so it struck a nerve with me a bit. I very much agree with your Nitto suggestion. OP sounds like he's only worried about straight line grip, and that...

I've driven on a set of V12s and wasn't very impressed. They have a soft sidewall and not very good on-center feel. I currently have Kumho Ecsta LE Sports on my car, which are quite similar in price and performance to the V12s, and they leave a lot to be desired versus the more aggressive tires...

To start: DOT just means "Department of Transportation", pretty much any tire you can buy is DOT legal, so it doesn't really describe what you're looking for. (Or what you have for that matter) Do you know what model of Azenis you have? There are a lot of really large variations between the...
