Shocks do nothing but dampen the springs, struts are structural. By that definition, we have struts as the spring is mounted to them making them structural. We don't have McPherson struts though.

Keep in mind the cars you're comparing the supra to are both big displacement NA cars with chassis that aren't nearly as good. Basically, because they're loud and a bit scary to drive, they have more drama and feel faster. It's why an old Miata feels like a rocket ship with the top down...

It's a muffler explosion and it's because you're running a vented BOV. /thread

1) quit with the caps lock 2) you're 100% wrong

Fan shroud is cheaper than a proper e-fan setup, and as easy to find as your local dealer...

Trust me, I understand :rofl:

If you're buying a JDM motor or something, it usually comes with the tranny...

No way a brake light switch could cause it... No car that I know has a brake light relay either. It's an issue with the sockets would be my guess. Though wiring issues are really easy to diagnose with the right tools...

There's a gearbox in it. While not as critical to grease as modern cheap and lightweight cable driven regulators, it's still a good idea. Realigning isn't too hard and the only way to really clean the old grease out is to remove the assembly. Not a fun job, but worth the effort if you want...

Shin-etsu silicone grease is the good stuff. Buy it at your local Honda dealer. Doing it properly requires removing the regulator (you want to regrease the motor too, right?) Though it sounds more like you have a worn/broken part in there. Sadly they're not available separately from the...

Dunno, but I'm betting that person also designed the fourth gen Celica.

As it's already stated, it's the cushion rubber rings at the bottom of the injectors that seal to the intake manifold that would be the leak to allow a lean condition (though under boost it's more likely to be a rich condition). No, comp ratio will do nothing to air/fuel ratio. You're...

I love all the guys jumping over him for redlining the car. If it was an automatic, it would redline getting on the highway. The car has a redline that's enforced through a rev limiter and it's well below the rev needed to pop the motor (or, you know, it would be lower).

Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Yes, but you probably don't want to as the GTE transmission was beefed up a bit to handle the added power. Why would you want to keep your old transmission?

Hmm... looking at the pictures it looks like the inner tire rods might be longer than normal. If that was the case you could cut them down to the right length so long as there's still enough thread to use. Outside of that, no idea what's going on...

It's probably a coincidence then...

Pic of the boost gauge? I'm betting it's not stock...

No adjustment? :rofl: Find a new shop, preferably with an ASE certified tech in suspension.

Dunno why you think 130K miles is high. It's not, it's low as hell for a Toyota motor. The stock cooler is a pressure based bypass cooler. In other words, when pressure is high enough, oil is diverted to the cooler and it bypasses the motor and goes straight to the pan. You already get a...

Ditto here, fronts don't appear to be made by the aftermarket for some reason. Are you sure they're shot?
