First of all, don't buy more Toyota piping. I made that mistake... it's horrendously expensive, and you can get much better stuff in steel. Check the vendors, I'm sure a bunch of them have piping sets for sale. As for clamps, nothing beats T-bolt clamps.

For those times when you're up on the hoist and short on bling... :)

Hmm.... - Reverse fill line with water - Tighten bleeder - Aim line in the direction of previous owner - Heat line with torch until water boils - DUCK!!!

The big end goes towards the crank. :) Sorry, couldn't resist!

If you haven't changed anything else, I'd go straight for the turbo to IC pipe... never seen one from the 80s that isn't badly cracked by now.

Interesting... I wonder if mine had been pulled off, or if they changed 'em since '89. The one I pulled off my engine was different. It's just a mounting point for the J-tube, which is a restriction in the fuel return line that allows you enough fuel pressure to limp home if your FPR kicks off...

That thick piece isn't a gasket, it's an insulator. I've seen actual gaskets for it, but only in the aftermarket gasket kits, never found one from Toyota.

Anything is possible of course, however, I wouldn't rate it as likely. I bought them from a local tire shop that knows what they are doing, and I bought them in the summer, when it doesn't get that cold south of the Arctic circle.

Pictures would help a lot. Doesn't look there there is a stock gasket for that part - it's on this page: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/EPC/291420/catalog.aspx?F=2211&P=2 which means you should likely just seal it with some gasket maker.

Agreed. I've had all that, and one of the solenoids that controls the low / high beam shield fry itself.

I suspect he means the one with Duane's coverAGE in it. It's not out here in Canada yet, we run a bit behind the USA.

Looks like the one from DrTweak...

Well, I mounted mine in the extra slot above the radio, so I pull it out when driving. But you just *had* to put switches there... ;)

Until recently, I've been using old school amps, and for the price they can't be beat. The only concern is the usual wear and tear - and the fact that not everything purchased used off fleabay actually works.

Shouldn't even cost that. :) You've got the right idea - simple 4 channel amp, some basic 3.5" co-ax speakers for the rear seats, a nice set of 6.5" component separates for the front, RCA cables, speaker wire, and a remote wire. A set of the speaker pods for the 6.5" driver from KevinM or from...

Fixed the broken speaker. Of all things I didn't expect... turns out there was a fault in the speaker itself. Broken lead on the positive side. Easy to fix, once I *found* it.

Look into the MAFT Pro unit, it may be able to accommodate you.

It also has a fancy plastic cover on the later years. Or maybe it's just deteriorated to nothingness on the prior years.

I'm also a fan of the soft dome tweeters, they aren't as harsh as the hard metallic ones, and JBL is one of the brands that still has those available at a decent price.

I'm a big fan of JBL, for mid price gear. Better than any of the Alpine gear I've used - well, except for the rebadged DynAudio stuff they had back in the 80/90s.
