    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...

    When the head was rebuilt were the valve guides replaced also?

    Thanks everybody. Scott, don't be jealous. You still have a nice 92! That alone make me jealous. So here's a couple of more pics. Nice almost stock engine bay. As Dave aka Grimjack pointed out, those t-clamps are not stock! LOL Sitting in the bay at our fire station cause of some severe...

    So let me tell you about my trip to get it. As I said before, I sold the white 89 to buy this. Well before I bought it, I bought the cat back Tanabe and had it shipped to Emilio's house. I also bought new tires online at Discount Tire. Emilio was so kind to install the Tanabe before I got there...

    So it's an 88 Turbo automatic hardtop. Probably the most un-sought after options haha. Since I like to just cruise in my cars I'd prefer not to shift. It's got a stock 7M. The headgasket has about 20k miles on it now. The only "mods" are a Random Technology downpipe with test pipe and Tanabe...

    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...

    7mge to 7mgte swap

    You'll need an igniter and gte resistor pack as well. Every chassis is drilled the same. If you get an oem intercooler and oil cooler the bolt holes are already there. You'll just need to get the metal piping for the oil cooler as well.

    Changing wheels once again.

    Looks really really nice Derek. I think those Acura wheels looks really good on that car as well.

    Thank you sir may I have another...

    Thank you. I did as much as I could with some chronic back issues nerve damage. The tranny seemed bullet proof. It scratched the tires shifting through the gears. I'm going to have to confess that I sold the car a couple of weeks ago in order to fund the purchase of a stock supra that...

    Thank you sir may I have another...

    It sounded great. Absolutely no drone and it was a deep tone. Comfortable quiet while cruising but you could still hear it. It was 3 inch all the way. Vibrant resonator and muffler.

    What cars made you passionate about them

    My dad owned and operated his own bodyshop so I was around different cars a lot growing up. The car that really got the juices flowing was, believe it or not, was my sisters 1978 Oldsmobile Omega. Red with a half white vinyl top and a 307 4bbl V8. This was 1982 when she had that. Became a big...

    A lot has changed since I've been involved with the Supra community.

    I'm in my mid 40's and hardly consider myself old! LOL. Still spend to much $$ on these cars but I love 'em. You just have to find a balance with all the other responsibilities you acquire as life happens. From what I see on Facebook, I'm glad they're posting that crap there and not in here.

    I too mostly lurk but still frequent the site for parts and information. This forum has helped me so much! Love it. Oh and Ian. I added you on FB but no response. I guess after 8 years I'm still in the NFI class haha. Btw where's Suprahero? Why hasn't he post whored this thread yet? Jay! Can...
