    Can Supras Turn?

    Mike: I think people see the Mk4 as the better handling Supra but forget that it's skidpad numbers are helped a LOT by the improvement in rubber between the years ;) Mk3 Suspension is the #1 reason I bought mine as it was lightyears ahead of anything else around at the time.

    Why do some people have different size tires for F & R?

    Valve clearances - which is better?

    Dave: Intakes are a thou tighter but due to the non adjustable shimless buckets I don't get too anal about a thou or two either way ;) (serious PITAS to adjust my motor) I run it a little looser than the stock spec as I do quite a bit of sustained high rpm driving and it tends to heat the...

    Why do some people have different size tires for F & R?

    Johnathan: Correct and while I have no hard data to back that up I can say the Fat one at 4012 lbs feels under tyred on 265/285's whereas my 240z at 2300 lbs felt great on 265/265's.

    Why do some people have different size tires for F & R?

    Why do some people have different size tires for F & R?

    265/35/18 & 285/35/18's are the biggest I can squeeze in without them rubbing anything. I prefer using the same sidewall profiles F/R as I find it's easier to balance the handling.

    Where to mount the Ballast for HID?

    I wrapped mine in foam pipe lagging and some split convoluted tubing and then put them up in the Nose of the Fenders with zip ties. There's a shelf formed by the internal reinforcing brace that's a perfect place for them :)

    Valve clearances - which is better?

    Dave: For my Cams I have em set to 15 then this will allow them to close a touch due to valve recession (I aim for 13 once everything is broken in) As 07 said I'd prefer some slight noise than burning a valve.

    Lift Gate Support Rod/Shocks Rebuild

    Had a bud in the US get me a pair from Pepboys and send em over, $22 each from memory and they have clips on the Ball socket that makes it easy to unclip them and fold the hood back for working on/engine removal/installation.
