Wow, that sucks lol. I was planning to actually keep the 1jz stock for a while after I get it since I'll probably not have much money after the swap. What kind of mileage do you get averag on your 1jz? I'm gunna miss my 29mpg highway from my 7mge :(

You guys dont like the 3-spokers? I think they give a fierce look while those 5-spokes give a more smooth look. Anywho, keep the votes coming :D

If I wanted to search the internet, I wouldnt come to this forum :P

Ok, so I'm getting something to replace the nasty sawblades I have and I've finally narrowed it down to 2 sets of rims. Theyre both yokohama advans. One's 3 spoke and the other is 5. They will be going on a black '88 and I'll be getting 18x8front and 18x9rear. Vote for the one you think will...

So I was originally planning on doing gt->gte swap but I just found out theres a place nearby that sells 1jz clips. So I might go for that. I dont know much about the 1jz..Is it better for horsepower than the 7mgte? What kind of mpg does it get (I'm guessing/hoping better than the 7mgte since...

I'm really close to choosing a wheel/tire combo to buy for my supra and I'm not quite sure how wide I should go in the rear. I'm thinking 9.5" with 265s but I dunno... So post pics of your cars from the rear so I can see the rear wheel width and tell how wide your wheels and tires are. Thanks!

Thanks for the positive feedback guys. So what width/color do you all think I should get for my black '88?' Also should I expect an increase in handling or performance due to the increase in tire width or am I just hoping for too much?

What do you guys think about these wheels on a black '88 supra? http://wheelwarehouse.com/image/advan/SAR-V2.jpg I'm thinking either bottom left or bottom right for it if I do decide to get these. Also; 18x8 in front, 18x9 in rear or 18x8.5 in front, 18x9.5 in rear? with the first...

Anyone know how much these rims weigh in the 18x7.5 version? Does wheel weight, diameter, or width have much to do with acceleration/handling? Thanks.

I think the only bad thing is your heater will suck.

Damn Porsche is ruining the pictures! :P

So I'm an auto newbie and I just ordered some new rotora rotors for my '88 (to replace my warped stock ones). Just wondering if I should just take it to a shop or if its worth doing myself. Whats the median price to replace all 4 brake rotors on a supra so I know if the mechanics are ripping...

Have you guys seen the jasper engine rebuilding process? Heres a vid of it: http://jasperengines.com/flv-streams/gaseng-reman.html They have a nice rebuilt 7m-gte for $3500 with a 75k mile warranty. You guys think its worth it seeing how nice their rebuild process is rather than spending...

Hm, what about a Blitz nurspec R? They can be had for ~$550. Are these relatively quiet? Do they drone w/ the silencer on? How wide is the piping? Doesnt say on hpf...Anyone have a sound clip of one on a supra? All I can find is a sound clip from a lexus sc300 w/ dualli nurspecs (which...

Whats the highest flowing cat thats still emission legal?

So I think I've chosen an exhaust upgrade from the stock pos. Right now I have an na '88 but I plan on going turbo in the future. I've chosen the HKS Silent Hi-Power exhaust system as seen here: http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/sale/HKS/Exhaust/Exhaust_Systems/part/Silent_Hi-Power Such a...

Thanks for the good answer. Anyone install one of these on their supra? They reliable?

A guy said that a bypass valve eliminates the risk of hydrolock in an engine due to water intake into the cylinders. What exactly is a bypass valve and how does it work? Thanks!

I guess I dont understand how all of this is possible without risk of rubbing. I measured my wheel wells the other day and theres only 2.75" max outside width and 6.75" max inside width. Add those up and you get 9.5" max width on tire. 9.5"x25.4 = 241mm tire. So figure 245mm max width of...

Oh I shouldnt be braking too hard. I just do daily driving with the occaisional windy road race with a buddy or two. So just slotted rotors should be fine for that right? Slotted dont crack do they?
