    2008 Supra MKIII - Project 1BYDFALT

    I got these from Wes @ Beechperformance.com. They are a bit modified as I have the poly bushing rather than heim joints. Dan! How's it going cobber? That is not paint, is powder coating. Going 7M for now as I have too much invested in the platform, but who knows what will happen in the...

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    They are noisier and they do wear out faster. My reason was because for this car I'm embracing the original intend of the car as a Grand Tourer. I want to be able to drive this car 3k miles in comfort if I wanted to. I do have hem joints in my Cressida (also built by Beech Performance) and with...

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    I had these made with poly bushings instead of hem joints. I also had them coated red when Wes was only offering Blue. I believe that now he offers both poly and hem joints as well as a wide range of colors. If you're interested, talk to him and give him your specs and he'll give you a quote...

    Doat, they are a quality piece. It offers you all the adjustment you could possibly need. If you opt for the hem joints you have less play in the suspension. These can handle a lot more power than stock as well. Plus they look "pretty" :D

    I can't say for sure, but I did see a nasty 7M powered Austin America doing a 50yd burnout coming out of Dave's house the other day!

    2008 Supra MKIII - Project 1BYDFALT

    Hey Dan! I'm rarely on Skype. Since I check email mostly on my phone, I don't really login to skype/hotmail anymore. I've done a few things to the Sup. Is just too time consuming to to take pictures and post and stuff. I'm still working on the suspension. I'll snap some pics and email...

    Experts - take a look at this bearing

    After the first start-up and letting it warm up, etc. I removed the oil and oil filter. I cut open the oil filter and it had tons of tiny metal particles in it. The engine sounded fine at this point. I knew at that point that it was just a matter of time. Shortly after the engine started...

    Experts - take a look at this bearing

    Every crank I had done in the past was delivered to me ready to go as told to me by the shop themselves. This one came from a guy who already had it done. Like I said, it was my rookie mistake to trust the labels on the bag and such. I wasn't aware of what you stated regarding the toyota...

    Experts - take a look at this bearing

    The oil filter proved that the machine shop did NOT clean the crank properly and there was debris (metal shavings) inside the crank. I made the rookie mistake of trusting the shop and installed the crank with minimal cleaning. Besides microscopic dust, there was absolutely no debris under...

    The scratches are actually very light. It looks like to me as if the crank journals are resting more on one side than the other. I did figure out where the scratches came from.
