    I really dont know what year my car is....?

    Yup. It should be on every panel if they are factory Toyota panels. Aftermarket or any replacements will obviously not. You should be able to see most the panels' tags without taking anything apart. Both rear quarters can be seen just inside the hatch sides with the hatch open, the front...

    Question on OEM springs

    Some certainly lower more than others. I want to say the Whiteline Springs only lower an inch if that. Why wouldn't you want to take advantage of a slight drop?

    Fixing a Month-Long Blonde Moment

    How do the JDM and US alignments differ? My roommate had said something about cars being aligned slight right so sleeping drivers are less likely to go head on. Any truth to that? Ian, shed some light for me!!!

    I really dont know what year my car is....?

    The cluster has been changed out, so that rules out that as an indicator and you said the car was in a front accident which explains the bumper. You have an 89 with some pre89 parts swapped onto it and add to that it is an early 89 = You have a 1989 Toyota Supra, providing the VIN# is correct...

    Intercooler cleaning possible?

    Everything in this thread says specifically NOT to use SG on aluminum. Where are you getting the impression it might be a good idea?

    Just bought My first Supra

    Agreed on the shifter bushing. It is SUPER CHEAP and EXTREMELY effective. Possibly the best mod around for the mk3 owner on a tight budget. ;)

    hmm, whats

    Horrible thread title, wrong section, insulting a mod who fixed one of your mistakes... Great start there, rookie... 2.5 catback is what you want for an N/A. Don't waste your time and money simply replacing the muffler. Do the whole cat back. Even then, gains are minimal.

    5UPRAH had an off on the track with incar video!

    Damn, looks fun! Just goes to show how important brake components are. Glad she's home in one piece!

    What does the BVSV do?

    Very strange picture in the EPC. In you go back through the NATO version for 89+ it shows a different routing, but it still doesn't look quite right. Odd. Here is the correct location shown in an old photo from my bhg days: On the very right side of the pic you can see the BSVS. One side...

    Which LEDs to use??

    You can do any brightness you want if you use a pwm dimmer. ;)

    Crashed my R1 today

    Sounds like a good learning experience. At least you can man up and admit to a mistake and learn from it. Good luck with your future riding.

    Which LEDs to use??

    Hmm... well not sure, but I would guess that yes, those would be way too bright. As a semi-educated guess I would say you need to try to stay under 1000, even as low as 400 mcd if you plan on your face not being lit up like a christmas tree at night. Why no diffusion material? A simple...

    cut springs

    Not too sure about that... I know it will increase the pressure in your shocks. So much to the point that an older set of shocks will blow because of the excess load...

    Back To Basics

    Sounds like a plan. Good to see an adult getting back into it! Welcome and good luck!

    custom air box help

    Honestly, I'm very unfamiliar with working with fiberglass. I would think you could seal it somehow with a liquid sealant or stain of some sort.

    cut springs

    Plain and simple :nono: Drive your car stock for fuck's sake... Yes a lowered car can look nicer, but get over the ignorant, ricer boy mentality and do it right or NOT AT ALL. I'd love to have my Supra lowered, but I haven't had an extra ~$500 to do it right in 2 years. So guess what...

    gearbox's

    Nobody should give you shit for getting a w58 with a stock turbo set-up. It takes more than a stock GTE to come close to blowing up a w58 and they drive at least as well if not substantially better than the truck/tank transmission R154. That being said, you can use the w58 from a cressy, but...
