    O'Reilly Auto Parts no longer carrying brake pads

    Know what is almost as annoying as a parts guy who doesn't know what he's talking about? A customer that thinks all parts guys don't know what they're talking about, haha. Customers man, customers. Still, I know how you feel. Jeff

    suspension techniques sway bar issue or not???

    It seems that it is as it is designed to be, there is nothing wrong with it. This is an upgraded bar, of course it is different than the factory one. If it was the same as the factory one, you might as well just buy the factory one, lol. Jeff

    Tokico is Back!

    TEMS is okay, nothing super special in my opinion. If you get the right suspension setup, I've found that I don't miss it at all. Jeff

    A lot has changed since I've been involved with the Supra community.

    The entire Supra scene is definitely on a decline, less cars out there as they get older and damaged/rusty/thrown away. That said, I think some of the activity has also moved away from forums and onto places like Facebook as well. Jeff

    2JZGTE VS 2JZGTE VVTI Water Pump

    The 2JZ-GE and GTE with or without VVT-i all use the same pulley in a Supra, but in other models like the GS300, IS300, etc., the newer VVT-i 2JZ-GE's used a different water pump and pulley. The water pump between a non-VVT-i and VVT-i 2JZ-GTE are the same. Jeff

    In the spirit of keeping this thread active and awesome, here's a picture of the car from just before it snowed last year and ruined my fun: More to come this spring! Jeff

    What are you guys missing in parts/service/manufacturing support for the MK3 Chassis?

    At the moment I would say focus on parts that are no longer available from Toyota before trying to do replica parts that still exist. Targa seals, tail lights and tail light gaskets can all still be purchased from Toyota. Maybe buy a set of them so you have them when they're no longer available...

    MK3 Torsen diff TBR?

    A Torsen is a type of LSD. Are you sure on the 1.5:1 TBR? I would think it would be at least 2.5:1, though I don't remember ever seeing any specs listed anywhere. I've beat on some T1's pretty hard and never had any issues, but I have seen them explode pretty good as well, so it seems to be...

    How is caster adjusted?

    Yeah the A70 is very adjustable, much more so than most of the more modern vehicles. My Lexus can only adjust toe front and rear, you can adjust caster by replacing the front lower control arm rear bushing bracket. Jeff

    1986 AE86 Corolla GT-S Supercharged

    So it's been a tad busy at the shop lately, so my car's been getting worked on a bit slowly, but it's almost ready to leave the body shop so I can start reassembly. The hood has been reclearcoated, the trunk was repainted and they've installed a bit of the glass and got the blackout tape on the...

    1986 AE86 Corolla GT-S Supercharged

    Well it's nearing completion of work at the body shop, I was a bit unhappy with the finish on the hood and trunk so they are going to sand and re-clear those panels as well as polish a few other places. I've got some black-out tape to go on the door b-pillars and they are going to undercoat the...

    1986 AE86 Corolla GT-S Supercharged

    Stopped by the body shop again today and wow, it looks like a car again! Significantly more work done than I was expecting based on the last time I saw it a couple weeks ago. Primer in the next day or two and then off to paint after that. Should be done next week?!?! Crazy! Jeff

    Interior colors

    There were 2 brown/tan interiors offered in the MK3 Supra. The 86-88 had what Toyota called beige and the 89-91 had what Toyota called brown. They are different. Jeff

    rear hub removal on car

    I would say that removing the axle is considerably easier than removing the knuckle in my opinion, though neither are particularly difficult. Removing the knuckle definitely can affect your alignment, even though the adjustments are on the body side, mounts with bushings can be in a slightly...
