I go on the Internet in search, so I realized that vacuum seals have sealing strips on both sides. Are these Teflon(PTFE) seals?
What did you do to your supra today? Pics

they can be. I have seen PTFE, Kapton, Silicone etc.
they must have the double lips for the vacuum rating.
I put some actual insulation in my targa. Lighter than stock and has about an R-21 insulation value

Ordered rpf1s (18x8.5+30 and 18x9.5+38) wrapped in nitto nt555g2s (235/40 and 265/35), a keyless entry kit and a solenoid to open the hatch.
Anyone else working on their cars? Painted a mud flap and started cleaning up the faded paint
I hear that, just getting back to mine from 2016, hoping to help get this forum somewhat more active like it used to be!
Today I made my passenger window work.
Short story long, when the body shop fixed the passenger side, they swapped the door from my parts car, which is an early 89. The ECU connections aren't the only wiring difference in those cars... door harnesses too.
So instead of retrieving my shell from the body shop, and gutting 2 doors to swap harnesses, I took the easy way out and used some wire and spare terminals, and just made jumpers until I can do it the right way.

Well, I managed to get it done with a mirror in the end. Detaching the vsv from the manifold helped clear things out of the way enough. Of course removing the battery, alternator, etc were all required.
I did find that one of the vsv connector wires had broken off, so that’s next
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
Update: The common advice from some of my SM favs "jiggle the CPS" wires worked! Now I can say "started the car today". I was already over the moon Supramania was back, but now I am over the sun too!
