    Pic Request: Anyone with Black floormats w/ Red SUPRA logo

    Vredestein Tires

    +1 Cooper tires look cool....but perform for shit. Looks are completely pointless in tire design to me. It's nice bonus, but not what I'm looking at in a tire...

    What SS brake lines do you have in your Supra?

    yeah, there was a good article online about what the best SS lines would be, and he said a sheathed SS with good fittings would hold more pressure and flow the best, plus be the most durable (if it's good enough for aircraft, it's good enough for a car) sadly, people are more after the look...

    not bad for DIY..

    won't get a second look from cops, but it will perform great... get a good electric (or cable operated) cutout as well, since you won't want to have to mess with it until it's cool, and that's just not convenient...

    So I just so happen to have a rapid prototyper(3d printer) and CNC.

    there is a kit to remove the traction control butterfly... battery relocation isn't needed with a FFIM, intercoolers are cheap, and the cost to get the pipes welded up was WAY over the top. The 2J manifold will look stock as well, while a ronr manifold will be obvious...

    Suspension Techniques:: The Good - Bad - Ugly?

    shameless plug for whiteline swaybars here... swaybars where the easiest mod I've done that made the car the most enjoyable. Just overall feels much better in all regards without being harsh to ride in at all.

    Any "TRD" products for our cars?

    bingo... let's see... The MKIV TRD exhaust was made by HKS IIRC, springs where eibach, shocks are bilstein, guages where autometer (think new ones are defi's), ect ect ect... The superchargers probably aren't produced in house, but they're very vehicle specific, so they obviously have a...

    What SS brake lines do you have in your Supra?

    IJ: the best SS brakelines would be made with better fittings, not crimps. Crimps are required though... Brand new stockers would probably work great, and last far longer than any unsheathed SS... Many SS lines are NOT DOT approved here as well...

    My new mod 280zx hood duct

    if you could take a roller and drop down the area around it to get it to sit more flush it would look better. Seen one of these flush mounted on both sides of the hood (doesn't do much on the driver's side, but it keeps it even looking) and it looks pretty good...

    Ebay BS or does this actually help?

    tornado could work, but the best is the cone that mounts in the center of the aircleaner and makes a soft curve into the carb... A normal gasket doesn't work, it has to be a spacer (needs some thickness to keep it insulated), and I've seen them do runs on carb'ed engines with a normal spacer...

    Air Filters - Compared

    K&N wasn't on the supra, and won't touch mine, it was an old carbed toyota 4x4 Usually the stock airbox on the Supra is the limiting factor on induction. On newer model vehicles, the airboxes have gotten a lot better designed, so something like an ARC box works as well, if not better than...

    Any "TRD" products for our cars?

    yeah, I know... only thing I have if the shift knob (which rocks BTW), and the dealer loves me (just got $400 in interior parts). Wish they'd make some more stuff for us again...
