autozone has a deal going on right now, 5 qts and a K&N filter for 29.99. Im Going to pick up quite a bit.

I was joking my friend, hence the smiley. But I do prefer the body colored moldings and the shadow grey leather that 91's/92's have. I also really like the special maroon and teal color that was offered for 91 and 92. I do like 89's steering wheel the best though. But yes, 89 and ups are...

pretty good, mostly stock 92 with 90000 miles on it. I have a thread with a bunch of pictures of it somewhere on here. everyone knows 92 is the best year :) edit: found the thread http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=76412 nothing has changed on it yet, but i just bought a 3"...

i was referring to an aeromotive fpr. good day...

Sounds like a pretty reasonable reason to me... why spend 250$ unnecessarily if a OEM toyota part does the job just as well. FYI i have no idea if the MK4 FPR actually works but just dont understand your response. Help him or gtfo.

yeah but a two step is not anti-lag. When the car hits the factory rev limiter it will build boost (just like a 2 step does) with negligible effect to the turbo. All a two-step does is hold a secondary rev limiter (adjustable) to build the boost. ALS like a WRC do kill turbos and involve...

anybody? Is there bushings that should get lithium grease on them? Do the bolts that hold the a-arms need to come out and be regreased?

As poodles and shaeff has sad, the correct procedure is to start and drive it at low load low engine speed until you get the vehicle up to temperature. Reading jdubs motor oil 101 article (by Dr. AE Haas) will teach you why this is the correct procedure. With my winter vehicles I will start...

Do they have any that would work as a stock replacement on an MK3? if so i would definitely want someone to pick it up for me :)

If you want 3d you can send me the drawing and I can make a .prt file in solidworks 08.

I have never used the old style dipstick but think the 92 style that my 92 has is really easy to read and use. I know people complain about one versus the other...

1998 US supras had vvti (n/a) and non us market cars had vvti through 2002 with the 2jz-gtel, although I am unsure of the first year of vvti on the turbo 2j.

So you are talking about compression and rebound in the compression arms? Or did you mean compression and tension. Compression/bump and rebound means damper motion. Compression and tension is the forces measured in links that carry load and is a way of saying the direction of the force...

Ok I now know for sure you guys are not understanding me. Strut tower bars dont do anything for the compression or rebound of the damper. They don't add any appreciable amount of stiffness in the vertical direction. I am talking about tension and compression in the individual suspension arms...

thats hard to say without it broken into a FBD, basically both ends of the lower arm should have forces pointing away from the center of the arm and both ends of the upper arm have forces pointed to the center of the arm.

The point of the bars is to reduce chassis flex, not to absorb vertical loading from the shock. I thought my post stated that fact a few times in a clear and concise way. Your diagram has the chassis force for the upper control arm pointed in the incorrect direction. The lower control arm is...

just found something Wiisass posted in the suspension section of the forum on shock bars... As for shock tower bars, they won't do as much on Supras because Supras don't have struts. A strut is a damper that is also a suspension member and is active in locating the suspension. The shocks on...

I am not sure if that analogy works perfectly in this respect but I do understand what you are saying. I know a way to find out, but I don't think Goodyear will put a Supra on their Kinematics and Compliance machine because I want to find out the measured deflections with and without a strut...

while the Strut bar/shock bar does not help with the loading the shock towers see due to suspension compression, or bump situations, A shock tower cross bar does help with chassis ridgidity. It allows the loads going through the chassis monocoque to be distributed to the other side of the...

no, not my cup of tee...
