Ah HA! So you already KNOW I am trying to "behave" more here at SM?:biglaugh: Thank you for the thorough explanation on the rims/offset detail... and the welcome, as well! (This place is a little BIGGER than SG was! I'll try not to get lost or arrested... er... TOSSED!) -crisp

YES, 17x8. I really like these OZ rims as well... particularly on the 'lara... (Nova's, like the Lotus Esprit design... but not "deep dish") I think they MAY look really cool on the Supra... have to try and see! Yup... (clown) ...and THANKS (offset), I think they sould fit ok...

Funny... YES! I'm like the BOZO the CLOWN-CAR of SUPRAS with these BULBOUS BALOON TIRES, eh? BWAAAAAAAAHHHHHH ha ha ha ha ha! I'm working on my replacements right now... and CURIOUS: Will my 17x8 OZ's (currently on my SOLARA fit?) I think the pattern is ALSO 114.3x5... so I'll...

I currently have 255/50/16 BFG COMP T/A ZR's on my SAWBLADES!:aigo: Yes, I know... it's a PINCH! Full HKS suspension setup... rides great, rides quiet, works well... COUNTERPOINT: My RUBBER is SOOOO pinched on... the RADII began to CRACK after the car SAT for several years...

I used some 1/2" 3M "foam" adhesive as well. (One door molding and one front "nose" molding were coming off... matter of fact, the door molding was ALL the way off after sitting in the weather for several years.) I SCRAPED the OLD adhesive foam off for quite awhile on a hot day and then...

My shop said FOUR numbers! I'll check WHICH one I get, and post the number if it's the STAMPED impeller... -crisp

I'm ordering a new one from Toyota for my '89 "freshen up" today. I'll post pics of the impeller by late in the week. (It BETTER be the STAMPED AISIN impeller!) -crisp

New to site... old to supras and "otherwise"... I noticed DRAMATIC distinctions between an aftermarket POTMETAL CAST impeller and the AISIN unit. I took my aftermarket back (this is half-a-dozen years ago... or more...) and got the AISIN unit with stamped impeller. Then I "polished" the...

YES! My 2nd MkIII, first TURBO (Supra), and THIRD Supra! I have had this car since February of 1995, when I purchased it with only 22k miles on the clock. (The story is MUCH longer than that... actually. Someday I'll write the book... like when I do a job like YOU on her... heh heh heh...)...

NEARLY completed the ENTIRE thread "read"... as I have just RECENTLY arrived... (Couldn't wait to comment, though!) '89 Supra here... yes, one of the BLUE guys. I just have to say one thing to you: :bowdown: (...I take that back... THANK YOU! ...as well.:thumbup: ) Your story...

^^^ A couple shots from this afternoon... not exactly detailed... but at least the most "recent" shots of my BLUE. -crisp

Wow... it's been SOOO long ago... at least EIGHT YEARS or so??? I'd forgotten about it! I did my HKS-built auto-to-5spd swap... then FRIED the first 5spd and did it OVER the next week... on a GRAVEL floored garage (with plywood down) BY MYSELF working TWO jacks at ONCE with the car driven up...

YES! Love the HKS integration... pretty good stuff. My first experience with HKS is back in the mid-eighties... when I watched an RS Skyline KICK a '68 camaro's BUTT on the SHUTO expressway... (I was IN the Camaro...) The "ZEN MASTER" Quality Director I work with (he's from Japan...

^^^ About the time I picked it up back in... something like '95... ^^^ Shortly after I bought it... ^^^ A few years back... ^^^ Dusk shot... with sibling '04 Solara... (both eyeing an "Odd-Wussy" van:icon_conf ) ^^^ Blue inside... too. ^^^...

^^^ There's the '87 N/A that I gave to my wife to get the '89 T... ^^^ That's my '04 Solara... at least it IS still a Toyota COUPE! (Now that the SUPRA is running again... the 'lara might have to take a break and be the "neglected one" for a spell... heh heh heh...) -crisp

^^^ There's an OLD photo of my '84 (sorry, in the background!) Yes, BLACK... wearing 245's all around on the stockies... with Tokico and Suspension Techniques front and rear sway bars... and ALOT of miles! I put 227,xxx miles on my original supra... and then SOLD it, still running like a...

Funny. Here is an ACTUAL "circa '87" shot... (don't "BonJovi-Laugh" at me, please!) BWAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH ha ha ha ha!!! I'm so old... pictures were all B&W back then! (That was ALSO the first year I bought a copy of "TURBO and High-Tech Performance" magazine... and read my...

HEY! Whaddya' know... I sprouted a spare hybrid outa my engine bay... I think this one is good for 350-380 at about a bar... (I had to "grind down" the lip a little... pretty rough work back then! ...but I'm pretty sure it works. TEC balanced with H3 trim...) -crisp

^^^ That was the one I was looking at back when I threw the straight pipe on for a temporary fix... as for the COST... I'll give BLOOD to pay for it, if necessary...:evil3: -crisp
