    Old Supra thread about bilstein shocks and sleeves and custom springs

    The pillowball/tophat combination is quite tall (at least the one that's on my car). It's not like a real coilover where the pillowball and tophat are one piece.

    Anyone know about steering rack updates?

    I bet your rack is simply worn out. Also, didn't they have steering dampeners on that year? There's all sorts of bearings and bushings in there that can and will wear over the years.

    Powersteering Pump belt

    Yes, the driftmotion line will work, but I'm not a fan of it personally. As already said, there is no difference between a PPS and normal line.

    Got another question for you gurus!

    It's a bit more complicated than that, honestly you're probably better off replacing them (especially if they used VHT niteshade as it requires sanding to remove, which you can't do on the inside of the light as it's a defused setup)

    Powersteering Pump belt

    Well, I will admit the few engine-fire Supras I've seen in junkyards were all caused from the power steering system spewing on the exhaust side of the motor. But honestly, without depowering the rack correctly, it's going to be very hard to turn the wheel. It will also stress the column. It's...

    Stumbled upon this list of mods today...I'm a little skeptical

    Those mods are OLD. There are far better ways to do things these days that where prohibitively expensive back then.

    Conversion from NA to SUPERCHARGED NOT Turbo....

    Modern turbos have far better characteristics than the turbos most of us are used to. Hell, throw in modern variable vain technology and it's even better (look at the porsche 911).

    Fuel injectors?

    I'd be looking to see if there's damage in the rail or on the injector that would tear the o-rings.

    steering mod , think it would work?

    The difference is seat belts are personal safety. Not wearing one won't endanger other people.

    steering mod , think it would work?

    Because they're NOT just putting themselves at risk, but everyone else on the road.

    Removing cruise control

    Well... the 1JZ doesn't really have provisions for CC anyway unless you go to the JDM setup that moves the pedal :) You at least have a reason :p

    Removing cruise control

    You must not do long distance driving :) Supra gas pedal is quite heavy as it is, and cruise control gets me better MPG anyway.

    Conversion from NA to SUPERCHARGED NOT Turbo....

    I'm sure it can be done easily if you run only an alternator and don't go intercooled. The question in that case is why bother...

    steering mod , think it would work?

    It's cast iron, so have fun. By have fun I mean not really. By not really I mean it will be a death trap.

    How to deal with an unsatisfied buyer?

    Car has left your hands, they could easily have shimmed the wastegate and blown the headgasket. (or done any number of stupid things) Not your problem.

    Old Supra thread about bilstein shocks and sleeves and custom springs

    There's several options, but it's mostly: - Pick a shock - Pick a threaded sleeve kit - Pick a spring - Pick a pillowball mount Shock wise, the easiest one here is probably the off the shelf bilsteins because of their removable spring seat. Threaded sleeves: -...
