    Got me a new piece of sheet metal

    all new parts would probably cost around $28,000 1990 dollars. Well, probably more just to rape you.

    problem installing new suspension

    I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about. But I used a breaker bar (to pull) and a hammer (to hit) to get everything aligned properly. Also, sometimes it helps to have someone step on the rotor and maybe bounce on it to get the bolt to align properly. Just make sure not to over do it...

    I ask a lot of bolt questions....

    My Supra has gone without a front plate for 16 years, I don't need to start now. I'm sure as hell not going to be the one to drill holes in the bumper.

    Redline MT90, Royal Purple 75w90, GM Syncromesh, or Other?

    I used MT90 and I think it might have helped. It took a little while but after I put it in, but I swear it stopped grinding as much.

    Car running really rich, no codes

    My car is completely stock by the way. Anyways, I reset my ecu when I was installing some battry terminal covers. After that I drove around and got 6 mpg, including some highway. I reset the ecu again and I'm getting 10mpg. Usually I get 13-14 mpg all city. I checked for codes and I get...

    what tires do you like and why

    I've heard that the Falken rt615s are the best street tire to get. The older ones had problems with traction in the rain once they worn down. However, the newer ones have no problems in the rain, even if they are worn. the Falken rt615s are great for the track too.

    Foglight rewire question?

    Isn't it the front defroster that is next to the foglight switch, not the rear one? I'm pretty sure you messed up somewhere. Can you explain exactly what you did. Pictures help.

    control arms

    I did the same thing in the rain once. You need to take off the wheels and look at every suspension part. Look at the frame, the control arms and the tie rods and everything. Look for stress marks. Just because its not totally bent doesn't mean that it's bad and out of shape. You know the...

    Quarter mile w/ stock supra and slicks?

    Hey everyone. I'm going drag racing this weekend with my completely stock 5spd turbo. I have some slicks available to me. I could run all 4 wheels with slicks but I was wondering if I would really gain from slicks being completely stock and all. Also, would it be fine to run slicks only in...
