    Any suggestions on other suspension updates while installing springs/shocks/swaybars?

    There are so many different "extra" things available. If I'm gonna have a shop do a full install of Eibach/Tokico/ST setup, what else would you guys recommend I have em update while everything is taken apart anyways? Front/Rear Bushings? Sway bar end links? Control Arms? Pillow Mounts? Or...

    White with Indiglo Backlit Speedo Guages?

    Anybody have these? I know it's kinda gimmicky, but I am seriously considering it. My Supra is white/blue combo so it seems like it might be a good fit. Is it more trouble than it's worth? Does it look really nice installed or does it look tacky? LINK ---> White Guages with Indiglo Backlight

    Anti Sway Bars - GodSpeed vs ST Suspension (Suspension Techniques)

    I had ST Sway bars on my previous Supra. No Complaints. But now GodSpeed makes a front and rear kit that is significantly more affordable. (However, something I wonder, GodSpeed's "kit" looks less complete than ST Suspensions kit. ST includes all the small pieces and it looks like GodSpeed...

    Which clutch is best for daily street driving?

    My Supra is probably at about 300HP (give or take) right now, and I am not likely to go above 350-400 anytime in the near future. Here are some clutch kits I've found. I've heard several members say they've had good experience with the South Bend Stage 1 kit. Anyone have experience with...

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

    I placed an order with NOPI. Got a call an hour later saying they are actually not in stock. The guy said Tokico / Hitachi is having an issue with distribution to the US and they are looking for a supplier or something and that they have no estimation of when they will be back in stock...

    Heater Control Valve has coolant drip leak

    I called Toyota and they want $228! I told the guy on the phone.. dude you know we are talking about a tiny black plastic piece that is like the size a closed fist, right? I see several offered on Ebay for around $40 that say they fit a 91 Supra, but the pictures don't look quite like the one...

    What spark plugs are best in today's market?

    I thought I'd find a wealth of info on here about this but I don't see much. Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place. I have been looking for NGK double platinum, but for some reason, nobody in my area stocks them. I did find these NGK Laser Platinum plugs at my local O'Reilly store for $8.49...

    Best brake option for with stock 16" rims?

    My apologies if this has already been discussed in another thread, but I searched multiple ways and came up short of finding it. I am wondering what the best option is for replacing... (and possibly upgrading?) the stock brakes? At the moment, there are crossed drilled rotors on the front and...

    What's your experience with the Ebay 3" DDPs?

    They certainly look well made. Not sure why the flex section is where it is, but maybe it doesn't matter? Do these bolt on well or are they a nightmare? Link >>> Ebay Downpipes

    Removing a stock CT-26 / Re-installing a 57-trim

    I am going to send my turbo to Albert so he can turn it into a 57 trim CT-26. I have been calling around to many different shops here in San Diego and some places won't take my turbo out because they cannot warranty it or some places want way too much to do the job. Is removing/re-installing a...

    Anyone had work done at Turbo Masters? I'm looking for a qualified shop in San Diego.

    I found this shop: http://turbomasters.net/ They are about 30 miles north of me. Has anyone ever had work done there on your Supra? Also, does anyone know of a place in San Diego (or close to it) that specializes in Supras? Thanks, Vega

    Supra making new shuttering whistle-y noise under boost - NEW VIDEO Aug 13 !!

    The basics are that the engine still idles very smoothly, sounds smooth when revved, and the temp gauge and oil pressure gauge give totally normal readings. I checked all the hoses and brackets and belts. Everything looks fine so I am a bit puzzled. I am gonna take it in to my mechanic of...

    What are your favorite things about MKIII Supras?

    My top 4 favorite things are: 1. The svelte look. With a proper stance, and well fitted wheels, MKIII Supras look angry as hell. It has similar appeal as the BMW 8 series coupes, or even the old Porsche 928 GTS. A nice classic look that real car enthusiasts can spot. 2. The feel. With a...

    What's the reason to get the Marlin Crawler bushings for the shifter?

    There are so many threads about the short shifter mods and Marlin Crawler bushings that I figured we could use another one... lol. No actually I just figured on asking my own question instead of resurrecting a 2 year old thread. So I received my Momo black leather shift knob yesterday and...

    Specifically for street use (Daily Driving) - Coilovers or Spings/Shocks combo?

    Ok so I just spent about 30 minutes reading through several coilover threads. I saw all the arguments from both sides. But pretty much everything I read talked about drifting, which I have zero (like... literally zero point zero zero) interest in. So rather than resurrecting a super old thread...

    Turbosmart BOV - Dual Port / Supersonic

    I am looking at a Turbosmart Blow off Valve on suprasport.com but I don't see many MKIII Supras running them. I saw one in the "Post pics of your BOV setup" thread, but I searched for "Turbosmart" and not many people discuss them on Supramania. Do they go well with the 7mgte? The HKS SSQ...

    Driftmotion full 3" Piping from Turbo to Tip. $559!

    Ok so I've never heard of Driftmotion. I've been out of the game for so long that.. in returning, I feel like a kid in a candy store! I'm just sifting through all the goodies that Driftmotion has to offer for our cars, and it seems that you can get a full turbo back 3 inch system that eliminates...

    Is there something disadvantageous about this brand new 3" downpipe vs HKS?

    So why pay $300 for HKS or Tanabe when these are so much less? Am I missing something? Also, what's best to hook up to a stock CT-26 setup? I ran the HKS 3" and it worked beautifully. What's the story with this one with the twin entry divorced wastegate type? Mirage 3" DP - $225 shipped - Ebay

    What do you think of this "Street Series" clutch from South Bend? Rated at 520lb/ft.

    Says it feels like stock clutch but can handle 520 lb/ft of torque. That sounds really great. And look at the price $430?? that's what I paid for my TRD clutch kit back in 1999! I would expect it to be more expensive by now...

    The Fiery Debate: Stick with 7M Power?... or swap for 1JZ/2JZ

    Back in the late 90s, it seemed to be that anyone that had done a 1JZ swap was the talk of the MKIII world. Mike Urbano comes to mind with his slick blue Supra. I remember looking into the engine bay in Vegas. People were envious. But now I'm re-entering the Supra world again and it seems that...
