LOL. I think the most blatant nonsensical pricing is for the parking brake shoes. The left rear is $18.35 and the right rear is $20.13. The shoes are identical, just mirror images of each other! :aigo:

According to Mike he has now fixed the firefox bug. Yea I used the wrong direction of slashes for the last part of the image URL, it is built on the FLY. Strange that IE works fine. Corrected it and testing now. -MIke

IJ; They are both Genuine Toyota bump stops, but for some reason the 86-90 ones cost $35 each and the 91-92's cost $17??? Sometime's I think Toyota's pricing is completely random!

Black87turbo, did you buy the expensive rear bump stops for the 86-90 models (48341-14030) or the ones that cost half as much for the 91-92 model year (48341-14040)? I am so tempted to order the later model cheaper ones but have no idea if they will fit. Both the upper mount and shock changed...

No problem. You are correct that firefox is behaving properly according to the W3C spec. IE doesn't complain, and I guess that is what Mike uses so he didn't catch it in his testing.

There is a mod to the flasher relay that will solve the fast blink. It involves replacing a current sensing resistor in the flasher relay with a 470 ohm replacment. I have not done this mod, so can't offer more info, but a guy in the UK has done it.

As I said, the problem was identified already, and we will have to wait for Mike to fix it.

I thought I should forward this email from the supras email list from the man himself, Michael Bringle..... I tried to send this out earlier, but I think I don't have my new mail set up quite right. So ta-da CygnusX1 has gotten a face lift and reorganization! I have also upgraded the...

While copper has a much lower melting point that Pt or Ir, it also has a higher thermal conductivity. Hard to say whether the better thermal conductivity would offset the lower melting point. A Cu/Pt/Ir alloy would probably have the best of both worlds. Melting points: Copper: 1085 degC...

They go without it because it reduces cost and is not needed to certify the car, no other reasons.

Only the pre-89s have the dampener. The later PPS models didn't use it.

Are these number from a hot engine? They seem really tight. By the way, This is a lot of work, but if you pull all the shims out and measure them, you can mix and match and often improve things without spending any money on shims. In the end you may find you need to buy just a few to get it...

20psi? 20psi would be a positive pressure. Vacuum is not usually measured in PSI. You want in-Hg or Torr units.

I mean test the other valve. It should be obvious by now that if the Bosch works and the other one doesn't, then the problem is in the valve not the vacuum plumbing! :aigo:

What year? For the 89+ models, check your DOME fuse.

I don't get it either. You show the Bosch in your pictures. Are you talking about another car? In any case, the test procedure is the same.

No , it goes straight to the surge tank with no valves inbetween. Looks like you have the Bosch CBV installed. Pull it off, and confirm it is closed (no air flows through). Then get a hand vacuum pump, like a mighty-vac for instance, and apply suction to the vacuum control port on the CBV...

Not exactly what I would call a fair and balanced summary. Try this... http://www.californios.us/ca/

The European version retained the old style lights past 88. Here's a pic of a UK 89 Turbo.
