    1JZ VVTi (CT15B) Turbo Rebuild Options?

    Hey everyone, my car is a '91 Supra with a 1JZ-GTE VVTi swap. It's currently a stock engine, stock ECU, and original turbo. I know that the factory CT15 has the notorious ceramic exhaust wheel, and my engine has been burning oil as of late. I'm looking to get a stock rebuild, but want to switch...

    Linear Rate Springs - Options?

    Does anyone know of a linear rate spring for the Supra that isn't a full coilover kit? I've been searching high and low, and it seems like every company that once sold a set no longer offers it. Also, something like a ground control coilover setup could be awesome, but GC doesn't make a kit...

    Coilover Options? (Chinese brands need not apply)

    So I've recently been considering getting a set of coilovers for my car, but I'm having a tough time even finding a decent quality set, and from there, understanding their characteristics. My car is primarily a weekend cruiser, and gets light/occasional track usage. (A few autocrosses, 1-2...

    I HATE my Tokico/Eibach combo. Suggestions?

    The title pretty much sums it up, but here's a brief rundown. My 1991 Supra currently has Tokico Illumina IIs, paired with Eibach springs, and I absolutely despise this suspension setup. It has a very underdamped "buick-like" sort of ride; when hitting larger bumps or road imperfections, the...

    Who has a running 1JZ-GTE VVTi swap?

    Hey everyone - I've recently been getting quite serious about doing a 1JZ swap on my car, and I've been thinking very hard about getting a 1JZ VVTi. I've seen a few threads about these motors, and a few people talk about swapping them, but it seems like very few have completed the swap all the...

    Emilio's NewRedSupra

    Maybe it’s time I made a build/progress thread for my new(est) Supra that’s come into my possession. I’ve been into Supras for quite some time, but I don’t think I’m particularly well known around the forums. A little background about myself to start: I bought my first Supra in April of 2006...

    What are my wheels worth?

    I just got a new car that came with a set of aftermarket wheels on it, and I have NO idea what they're worth. I'm not a fan of the style, but they are real Rays wheels, and that must count for something, right? They're "Rays Eins Kahn 3" wheels, 17x8 +35mm Front, 17x9 +38mm Rear. There is some...

    Battery Cables: Options?

    I'm looking for people's opinions and some potential options here regarding battery cables. My friend and I recently bought the last two OEM Toyota main battery cables left for sale in the US, and I've recently purchased another car that is in need of replacement. OEM is out of the question...

    Went to the drag strip for the first time ever, put down some crappy times, advice?

    I went to the track earlier today for my first time ever at a local "Sport Compact" event. Needless to say, I ran some really stupidly terrible times, so I come to you, Supramania, with questions. To start, the car. My car is an '88 Turbo/Hardtop/Auto, it's almost completely stock, with the...

    Powdercoating an Aluminium Radiator?

    So this is a slightly odd question, but my bright silver Aluminium radiator under my hood has been bothering me a lot, and I wanted to make it black instead. I read the best way to get a radiator color changed was anodizing, but there are no anodizing shops that seem willing to do it near me...

    HKS BOV Flutter/Surge

    So about two months ago, I got a new intercooler/hardpipe kit for my 7M, and included with it was an HKS-style flange as an alternative for the stock BPV port. I purchased and installed a GENUINE HKS SSQV, and this damn BOV keeps surging. If I drive hard, surging isn't such a big deal, it...

    Charcoal Canister Replacement

    Hey everyone, I'm embarking on a mission to replace the charcoal canister that is currently missing from my car. My car didn't come with a factory canister since it was removed by the previous owner, and a replacement won't fit due to my down pipe shape and fit. I am planning on going to the...

    Free Truck!

    Well, I got a truck a couple weeks ago for the cost of a new title and license plates. It's a 1987 Ford F-250, 6.9 Liter International Harvester diesel engine, 4-speed with overdrive, and 268,000 miles. Still runs great though, so I'm happy!
