    The Small Questions Thread

    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...

    Rear shock "stopper" part interchangability? (48341-14030 and 48341-14040

    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...

    Anyone know how to get ahold of Tokico Illumina II TEMS shocks?

    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...

    Anyone know how to get ahold of Tokico Illumina II TEMS shocks?

    Hi ross79, So the Andy's Auto Sport order did not go well. The site allowed me to add the items to the cart and check out, but it turns out nothing was in stock. This could happen on any website, but I was more disappointed that they didn't update the listing to say not in stock when I...

    Anyone know how to get ahold of Tokico Illumina II TEMS shocks?

    That is a fair point, I only like Tein because my friend has had really good experiences with them on his Miata over other brands. No idea how their Supra products hold up.

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    Sounds reasonable, and the silver lining is it gave me an excuse to read your build thread looking for answers : )

    Recently Jalopnik stated that the MKIII Supra is finally a collectible. So who knows, maybe the power is soon to come? http://carbuying.jalopnik.com/here-are-ten-of-the-best-turbo-cars-on-ebay-for-less-th-1711423705 Number 5 on the list! Personally I would love to see Tein make TEMS...

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    Cover looks very nice! Just out of curiosity, why did you remove the rear wiper?

    Anyone know how to get ahold of Tokico Illumina II TEMS shocks?

    I think this is meant to be. Andy's Autosport has the fronts (EU3634) and THMotorsports has the rears (EU3635). Just about $520 altogether and now the really painful parts waiting begins!

    Anyone know how to get ahold of Tokico Illumina II TEMS shocks?

    Congrats on the sale! Hopefully the new owner will keep the car inside for the winters, as salt is a terrible thing! I am trying to see what those Bruce Titus people can offer, since I am local. But there is good news. I contacted another online dealer and they told me restock comes in...

    I just went back through hundreds of posts in this thread because I needed to see the picture again. So pretty, and so jealous!

    Anyone know how to get ahold of Tokico Illumina II TEMS shocks?

    Some financial woes kept me from buying the Tokicos until now. Went to order and they appear to be out. I guess it is time for my "Vega Shock Waiting Journey" :( (I am looking into just buying the original Toyota ones now, cost is only about $160 more than the Tokicos were at the best price.)...

    Sounds like a project! Make the ultimate 7M head! Exciting news, not looking at my bank account for two months allowed it grow enough to order the Tokico Illumina II shocks! Time to let those old 25 year old shocks on there now have a rest :P

    From watching the video I assume potato means dial up friendly video quality :P Really nice pics of the engine. It looks like it belongs in that engine bay! So wish there was a 7M-GTE with VVTLi...variable valve timing with lift is one of the three things I miss the most from my S2000.

    I just found Bird on Facebook, perhaps that site has the timed exclusive rights to his stories?

    Doh, I missed out too. The morning of the post this ruined my rear motorcycle tire, so I spent the rest of the day getting screwed out of too much money for a replacement :( Looking forward to future meets!
