    Guess the spring.

    Can anyone guess what brand spring this is? Bought what I thought was a set of factory 90 model springs but when I put them on and lowered the car down off the jack stands it actually sits lower than it did on eibachs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Aftermarket coil packs

    Currently my Supra is down with a rod knock after the turbo blew and filled my intercooler up with oil. While I have the engine being rebuilt I was thinking about going ahead and buying new ignition parts. Has anyone bought the aftermarket coil packs i.e. Standard or any other brands other...

    Dropping the rear subframe

    I've been doing some searching but have yet to find exactly what I'm looking for. I'm about to drop the rear subframe on my 88 and I was looking for helpful hints to make it smarter not harder. If you have done it in the past and have some pointers for me I'd love the input. If there is a...

    Another black car.

    I picked up yet another black on black car. This one has a little bit more get up and go than my SC400 though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Pulley Alignment

    While researching a screeching sound I discovered this: That's a new ac compressor. I can't remember what brand it is but I know it's not a Denso. The idler pulley is only a few months old and was the source of the screech. I was thinking maybe shimming the front two bolts on the compressor to...

    Center Support Bearing

    I'm opting to keep my two piece driveshaft and just replace the center bearing. I want to regain and retain a silky smooth driveline. An OEM one is running about $240. I've found an aftermarket bearing for $65. There's one on eBay just like it for $75. Has anyone tried these non Toyota brand...

    Operation Drive and Enjoy

    The Supra. In my 30 years of driving that is the one model of car I cannot get out of my system. I sold the white 89 beast to return to a more stock car. The original plan was to just revert the white 89 back to stock and sell off the performance parts. Well after seeing Emilio's ad I changed...

    Tanabe Springs

    Ok so I edited this original post because of spelling errors. Is anyone using Tanabe springs and if you are can you post a picture? Also how is the ride quality? Their minimal drop is of interest to me. Thanks.

    My SC400 road trip through the Southwest

    Some people think I'm strange but I like to road trip by myself, with no set schedule or itinerary. I just get in my car and take off and go where I feel like when I feel like. I did it before a couple of times with my 98 SC300 (RIP). Other than my drive home from Florida after I bought this...

    Is this normal??

    I lowered my car with B&G springs. 1.5 inches on all four corners. I'm liking the look and the ride is not bad at all, just really contemplating putting the stock springs back on when I get my stock 5-spokes powdercoated and new tires put on them. I like the stock ride and cruising in my thing...

    Failing AFM symptoms

    My searches have not revealed what I'd like to know specifically. When the air flow meter begins to fail, what are the most common symptoms associated with that? My application is a Lex AFM with 550/mod and SAFC II. Thanks Ken

    Curious about a heat blanket.

    I've got a GT35r turbo. It gets hot under my hood....real hot, no surprise there. I was looking to buy a turbo blanket and wrap the downpipe. Which blanket would be recommended? There are so many and I don't want one that is going to fail quickly. Also, is there anyone else using this same...

    B&G Springs

    http://store.driftmotion.com/static/i-921005.php Anyone using these springs? Could not find any info in a search. I like the idea of an even drop. I do not want the front lower than the rear. Thoughts? Opinions?

    Tell me if this is BS

    My buddy is looking for a supra. We found a nice 90 N/A that's real clean. Guy says he just spent $2600 to have HG replaced and a few other things. Admits he thinks the shop may have screwed him over. Tells me the car has started to overheat and boil over. Also said one of the coolant hoses was...

    Thank you sir may I have another...

    Since I sold my 91 Jay Blue :nono: I've been lurking around, feeling sorry for myself and being a whiny bitch. Well now I'm back in the game with some 89 White goodness that some of you just might recognize. Here's me holding a little hint.
