I haven't heard anything about intrax springs on supras, but I know a few guys who had them on DSM's and they sagged after a few years. Doesn't eibach make a prokit spring for this car? Those are usually about 1 to 1.5" drop.

I had both an ebay type-s style BOV and an ebay MBC. The true made in china and taiwan stuff is crap. The BOV looks like a direct greddy copy, but it's wrong internally, and caused major surge. The diaphragm is cheap rubber that lasted a month. I did fix it, however, and it works great now...

I wonder why they junked it? Could be worse. It could be painted pink and have fuzzy princess seat covers on it.

I use Prestone universal yellow mixed with distilled water, not cause I'm cheap, only cause it's conveniently available everywhere. Using distilled water is more important than the type of coolant... using tap water will leave nasty mineral deposits inside the engine that'll block up the...

Pretty sure I have these brackets if anyone actually wants them and isn't being sarcastic? PM me and I can add them to my FS thread.

Mine was popped off from someone jamming wood blocks in the door to hold up the broken window regulator. Fun times.

Yeah, you adjusted your brake pedal too tight. Back the adjustment off a bit. There's a spec for it, you aren't supposed to take all the pedal free-play out. If you adjust the pedal free-play too tight, the booster will actually apply the brakes by itself.

Crap. I figured that must be it. Thanks.

My stock oil pressure gauge is stuck at the max reading all the time, even when the car is off. I realized I had left the 1JZ pressure switch on the engine and I forgot to order the hose adapter from DM to put the 7M sender on. I unplugged the pressure switch and the gauge still stays maxed out...

LOL @ the engine bay vs the exterior. Spends a buttload on paint and leaves the engine bay like a rats nest. Ugly paint, but still, had to be expensive. I hope I never get behind that car in traffic. I don't like cleaning puke off my dashboard. The rear view of that thing is horrendous.

Surprised nobody knows. For anyone else searching for the same thing.... I used the ebay catch can for the coolant overflow bottle (just cause it worked so well for that). I was searching ebay for a better breather can and picked up a Jaz Products mini breather can for $15 used. It's got dual...

Thanks for saving me some time... yeah... that's not going to be an easy spot to swap in an aftermarket gauge. You'd have to either have an ultra slim gauge or hack up the whole cluster to fit it in there. I'm just going to find another spot for it, too much work, IMHO.

Nice. Not "pure".... but nice. It's pretty much the same with all cars... the first year sales are the largest for a new body style... then things taper off.

Unless the diameter of the master cyl piston is different, I don't see why it would need to be different. There's the same number of line outputs, one front, one rear. A bigger master cylinder would help with threshold braking (non-abs way of stopping without crashing). It would require more...

The stock gauge has a light, so there's power there for the gauge light. If you're using a mechanical boost gauge, that's all there really is to power up. I don't know what kind of cutting and hacking is involved with putting the gauge itself in there though. I'm about to find out... I'm going...

It's too bad Sylvania stopped making the Xenarc auxiliary low beam HID kits.... those would be the ideal solution. They fit right where the stock fogs do and work like low beam HID's (they had a cutoff and proper reflector design). They were even DOT approved... AND they were only like $400...

I'd just pull the motor out of the 88' and send it for the body work, and drive the 86.5 (assuming you need it as a daily, if not pull the motor out of that too and get that done while the other car's getting paint). No point in dumping any money into the 88' BHG motor... ususally the BHG is...

Good point, I forgot about that. The dealer would have records of what came on the car I think too. They always ask for the VIN when you call for parts... so they know what fits and what doesn't.
