Nice, always good to have a backup! By the way, any install/removal gotchas or other advice regarding the piece?

I was in the same boat, my car never came with it either. The original owner was not a mechanic at all, so I assume some shop tossed it out one day : ( Part number is 51441-14110. Toyota Online Parts dot com only charges $147 for the part, but their shipping is just over $50. But if you live...

Very nice work, you are doing all the things I have dreamed of doing to mine. (So close to just buying that HKS exhaust.) Did you happen to replace the turbo elbow and down pipe as well? I have the BIC DDP, but I don't know if I can ever bring myself to install as I want to stay as stock...

Been wanting one of these for a long time! Ohio magazine used for scale and to remind me where I need to get back to. Oddly enough the "splash shield" came a week before the 13 bolts needed to put it on :P

Thanks to all for the info, especially the detailed post by Pi. From reading various posts I had come to believe that the RT models were CARB/ARB certified, but it sounds like I was wrong. (Their website claims better than EPA required performance, but they never mention CARB or ARB.) Looks...

Started reading through your build thread looking for the cat, but got very distracted with the sweet pics of your kitchen remodel. Love the backsplash! But back on topic, what brand cat did you get?

Thanks Vega, I excitedly began the change out with the rears and found that I need new bump stops. Oh well, I have waited 2 years, what is another two weeks. I did a fun test with the old shocks and the new. I timed how long it took for the piston to fully extend from full compression and it...

Oh no, I wonder if Pi got the last one? I just tried to order all the front lip stays and all but one of the lower side ones were discontinued.

He is known to embellish, that is why I came to the source of all Supra knowledge : ) Honestly, the gas smell is my biggest concern, as my garage is not very large : (

I had assumed the torque value was determined by Toyota to result in the gaskets crushing to form a seal without damaging the part or the threads, but Toyota doesn't exactly have a clean track record with published torque values on our cars :P Happily there have been no fuel leaks since I put...

I have been planning to replace the aging stock exhaust on my 1989 Turbo with a BIC DDP with recirculation, the Random Technology high flow metal substrate catalytic convertor (Model #141-30033) and the HKS Turbo Exhaust (LET-T16). I was about to purchase the cat and cat back exhaust when a...

A little TLC makes those heat shields look so good, great work! I had mine media blasted and ceramic coated two years ago and I still love them!

Happily that is the spare bed. No guests for the next week or so :P Thanks for the tip on the mounts, mine looked almost new so I was going to reuse them. (Unless this is something that wears invisibly and you think I should replace them.) I bit the bullet this morning and ordered the Toyota...

The definition of irony might be that the original Toyota shocks I pulled off the car were stamped KYB... And in regards to that trim piece, here is the fallout, good thing my wife is very understanding : )

Yep, bump stops, I should have included that term. Used "stopper" only because that is what comes up in the online parts catalog. Toyota naming fun! I am replacing what appear to be the original shocks with Tokico Illumina IIs for TEMS usage and that as OEM as possible feel. Went to the...

I finally got it, though I doubt I did it correctly. The end coming from the wiring harness is the end that comes out, and a small centered protrusion on top keeps it in place under a sort of H looking bit of plastic. I finally released it by going at the H from the side with a small...

I am doing my shocks and having a heck of a time releasing the electrical connectors on the rear TEMS actuators. It looks like the side coming from the wiring harness is the end that should come out, but I just cannot figure out what the catch is that holds it in place. Any help would be...

Like many of us that go to change out our shocks I found my rear "stoppers" were in bad shape. I looked up the parts on the wonderful Cygnus site and got 48341-14030 for my 89. The price on the site I really like to buy from is $44.54 for this part. However, there is also a part for the...

Both THMotorsport and Andy's Auto Sport said they would be back in stock in late September. Hopefully then you can get some!

I too was thinking NSX...but I know you like to have fun with your cars and the NSX is probably a chore to do things on. But why not return to the wonderful world of MKIII Supras? I am told the seats in the MKIVs are not pleasant at all :P It will be awesome to have you back...I just hope...
