    who drive what in snow

    Not around here, they just shut down roads and close businesses and schools when it's iced over here.

    who drive what in snow

    Snow? When we do get snow here the supra does fine (LSD diff. makes it easy). But we get fucking ICE here, can't drive on ice without studded tires, and they're illegal here. If it ices, you just chill at home.

    Clutch Pedal Adjustment/Free Play

    If the flywheel was machined flat, the clutch would slip in short order (might hold for a while, but then, sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiip). Sounds like you put the clutch disk in backwards.

    15" Rims?

    Boost Lee beat me, drag skinnies will fit up front with spacers (basicly putting the wheel out beyond the caliper). Anything else is a no-go...

    aftermarket manifold

    If you're using the stock turbo, stick to the stock manifold. The manifold isn't the bottleneck, the turbo is and I doubt you'd see any noticable gains changing. Now if you're changing turbos it's a whole different story...

    Coolant Bypass Hose

    No, the bypass is needed! The N/A uses a bypass while the Turbo model uses the turbo as the bypass. The coolant has to flow through that in some way. This is why you loop the lines instead of plugging, or you can use the N/A waterneck as I mentioned.

    Electronic Rust Prevention

    For what I've seen they DO work, but I dunno if they're effective enough for their price...

    Gas mileage

    I've noticed my gas milage has dropped badly since it got cold. Cold start enrichment sucks. EGR cooler leaking probably doesn't help either...

    carpocalypse.

    It's an example of what happens when you try and regulate a sport too much, it gets too expensive for the small guys to compete, and then it gets too expensive for the big guys as well. Hopefully they'll learn from it, as rally is pretty damn cool.

    Coolant Bypass Hose

    Yep, has the bypass on the side instead of off the top ;)

    ceramic coating

    Coatings are very effective, but they're expensive and in the case of pistons, the clearances need to be different. *waits for the gurus to come in*

    200K Mile Supra Body Issues

    Just time consuming and you have to be careful with some of them (namely the upper A arms so you don't bend them.

    Let's talk about hardware..and other stuffs

    no no NO on the loose clearances. Unless you're building for thick oil (IJ), don't deviate from the TSRM's specs in clearances. Depending on cash level, ARP main studs aren't really needed as the stock mains are plenty strong (inline engines rock, we have 7 mains while a V8 only has 5)...

    What the hell body kit is this?

    That front bumper is the ONLY one made for the pre-89, hence why I said it would probably sell well, but I haven't seen a good example of it in some time... Tough time trying to sell anything that isn't maintenance for cars these days with the economy :(

    Why did my brand new motor fail? pics inside.....

    I remember someone mentioning having to go to the dealer with feeler gadges and going through a few oil pumps until he found one within the tolerances specified in the TSRM. Also remember someone digging TINY pieces of metal out of the pump as well. Hence why I say inspect it. If you...
