No, what you're thinking of there is caused by a change in wheel offset causing a change in the scrub radius, or torque steer effect being caused by wide wheels. Real bumpsteer won't move the steering wheel. You could weld the rack solid in a straight line and the bumpsteer would still cause...

Just wanted to clarify that the camber does not go positive on compression. That's some false info some guy posted on his blog (that's about how much he hates Supras) and it's now become an "internet fact". The most "positive" point in the camber curve is at (or very near) original ride height...

Not normal. You either have some extreme gear wear, a bad bearing, or thrust washer problem. This assumes you're running the proper fluid. Redline MT90 works good, some people with very high power or a worn out box use Redline Shockproof, but the box will need to warm up to shift well. I run a...

You could probably get some aluminum angle stock and rivet it in the sides to hold it straight. Might not look as slick as I'm imagining though.

From what I've read that will move the spindle centerline and the tire won't be centered in the wheel arch anymore.

An amp probe is your best friend here. All you need to do is check the amp draw on the problem circuit starting from the fuse box and working your way along the circuit till you find what is drawing more amperage than it should. Then look for wiring shorts in that branch of the circuit and check...

That genesis and fit are darker than I'd like, I like the bright teal, even brighter than the factory supra teal. I'm not set on the teal color for sure. It's top on the list right now though. I've also been considering a mettalic root beer brown (slight purple blue tinted brown). There's an...

0.100" restrictor here, no problems. Volvo TDO5 turbos use a 12x1.5 thread banjo fitting, that's what I used. Got it on ebay.

Bigger brakes to help with the added heat, a bigger radiator with a clutch type fan (like stock) to shed engine heat, a better engine oil cooler, and quality coilovers. Save making extra power for last. Also, if it doesn't already have a cage, you should add one.

Yeah I wouldn't get rid of the VVTi either, you can get upgrade cams for the VVTi the same as you can get for the non-VVTi. VVTi is not like Vtec. There's no switchover point, and the lift stays the same all the time. All it does is adjust the cam timing on the fly, which gives the motor a much...

The BIC car is nice looking, but somehow just looks unfinished. Like a painting of the Mona Lisa with no mouth.

How would you index it to the shifter threads? Greddy makes a similar shape knob, but they use a decal that you put on after it's threaded on tight. I have one and love it. Except in the winter, or on hot sunny days. Then it freezes or burns the hell out of your hand. Downside of bare metal...

Since you're a new owner and you might not know this, the 89-92 models came with nicer looking plastic trim that fits on the older 87-88 models and replaces the metal backed plastic trim. It also weights less. You should swap the tail lights to get the full effect, but you don't have to. I...

lol, thanks.

Trying to decide on a color for a full repaint (bay, jambs and all). I was leaning toward white, black, or titanium... but I think instead I'd like to go with something that will be a little bit flashy without being too bright (like red or yellow would be). My kid was playing with his matchbox...

The intersection point is an imaginary point, it doesn't represent the location of any actual part of the car. It's almost impossible to measure on the car, because everything is in the way. Look up the bumsteer article on circletrack.com and give it a read, they explain it better than I'd be...

This has to add at least 20 pounds onto the car. FML... those "after" shots look like my car right after it was painted. This is all the motivation I need to park the car for a few weeks and paint it a color that can be waxed.

I know I am, but the amount of grip this car has already is beyond what I can push it to on the street. If I ever improve my abilities to the point where I need more grip, or if I do some track days, I'll experiment and add some as needed.

If you have an IC you paid more than $100 for you should rubber mount it. I solid mounted my $60 ebay POS.

I'm sure you can find them in a u-pull-it yard, in a corolla or rav4.
