    SupraSport LIPP high flow elbow pics

    Love that part and tried to find one to buy a few years back. I have a BIC DDPR, but I would prefer the LIPP along with a DP that doesn't hang so low.

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    So cool that Supramania is back! Sadly the only thing I have done today is put the ugly new Ohio plate on my car. I moved back a year too late : ( And read through about 10 "cranks but doesn't start" threads since the car has decided to stop working. Must be mad it is not in a garage anymore...

    Agreed! Wonky peak hold "feature" be damned!

    The Small Questions Thread

    Left hand drive, though I should have specified that the pivot of the gauge needle would be fixed at 9 o'clock. Thanks for calling that out! I am seeing the opposite of what you mentioned, which would be the expected behavior to me. (Basically, drive car until gauge is at the usual peak...

    Oh man, Pryo, that sucks. Both arms? Glad you are recovering! I have heard Bird is always down for a tractor pull style Supra outing!

    The Small Questions Thread

    I have a question about the stock water temperature gauge in 89+ Supras. I have read in many threads that the needle is meant to sit near the middle of the gauge for a wide temp range. Mine tends to sit at about where an hour hand would be on a clock for 3:20 to 3:40, but I have noticed that...

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

    I totally missed your response Joe, no worries on pricing, I was just happy to not have to wait extra months. Getting the shocks on was a hassle due to bump stops and no note in the TSRM about that spacer on the lower rear mounts, but I have been happy with them since the install. The...

    Forge Motorsport FMDVS013B Bypass Valve Review

    Enraged: I spoke to a lot of the car guys I worked with and everyone gave Forge Motorsport a glowing review :) I only wish I had found them before I bought the 034 valve. (The 034 valve was of quality construction, just not ideal for my application.) suprax7nut: Sadly I don't have any flow or...

    Forge Motorsport FMDVS013B Bypass Valve Review

    This is my first review of a part, so please feel free to send feedback or corrections my way to help make it better! The Problem Like many before me, I discovered that my stock bypass valve (17670-42010) was completely dead. I looked into the Bosch replacement, but due to availability and...

    Looking for LIPP Turbo Elbow Specifications

    Thanks again Nick and SupraDrew for the great pics and info! Thanks also to everyone else for the other comments. If welding was easy for me I might consider it, but my car is just an old auto that I want to keep as stock looking as possible. The LIPP elbow fits the bill perfectly for my...

    Looking for LIPP Turbo Elbow Specifications

    May I ask what downpipe you are using with it Nick? The same Lightning Motorsport one that SupraDrew mentioned?

    Looking for LIPP Turbo Elbow Specifications

    I actually bought a BIC DDP three years ago, but since it doesn't have the mounting points for the stock heat shield I cannot use it in my car. (I want things as close to stock as possible, so losing that heat shield is a deal breaker.) Thanks for the great pic of the elbow Nick, I miss...

    Looking for LIPP Turbo Elbow Specifications

    Hi all, apologies if this has been asked before, but in searching I couldn't find anything definitive. (Other than most everyone prefers no elbow at all!) I am hoping to learn the specifications of the SupraSport LIPP Turbo Elbow so that I can best decide if I should post a WTB thread for...

    Guide to installing the 89+ stock front lip/spoiler?

    Yeah, of the six plates the front two were severely bent. Sides were not too bad, though some of the embedded bolts snapped due to rust. Happily I was able to get a replacement part for the side that broke. I just want this thing to look nice and straight! (As I recall yours looked fabulous!)

    Guide to installing the 89+ stock front lip/spoiler?

    I am about to install the stock front lip on my car. I think I have all the parts, but when I removed it a lot of bolts were missing and it has been two years so must admit I don't recall exactly how it was mounted. If there is no official guide (always wondered if something was in the body...

    Living with the Random Technology High Flow Catalytic Convertor

    Agreed Nick, emissions are important to keep under control. My original thought is that 25 years of technology advances would mean a 3 inch high flow cat would exist that met or exceeded the capabilities and longevity of the stock cats the Supra originally came with. Am I crazy for...
