    MA70 - KW Swaybars - Am I the only one?

    I am putting KW Sway bars on my 88 Supra. Odd thing... the shop found them for me, but the web doesn't show they exist. Looking for a spec sheet for comparison and will know how they perform (more or less) on Tuesday. Anyone else have these or heard of them? - Fronts (compared to stock) -...

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    That number doesn't show up. Closest I could find is: LOWER ARM - Toyota (48710-14110) This may work, "IF" it is available. All my parts were available until I ordered them. They refunded all the money and said.. "poo-poo monsieur.. you are out of ze luck!" Harsh conditions = using brakes? To...

    Not sure I have to worry about it as all my car does is highway/street. Should be fine. Wish I would have saw that link earlier though

    Yeah the control arms. Mine are toast which is why I'm using the energy ones. KW sawybars http://kw-suspension.com/us/kw_clubsport.php I don't see the listing for them, but they arrive today.

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    Supra is getting all the bushings replaced along with tie rods and various alignment parts (almost everything). Unfortunately, there are no control arms available anymore (nor bushings for them) so I am using Energy poly's. Slapping on KW Swaybars. I don't know if anyone has ever run with...

    Lots of blue smoke/misfire/ turbo?

    Seems to me that (if doing it yourself) the head first would be wise. Its easier.. because the engine is a simple pull with the head off. Personally, I would be doing a full rebuild at this point anyway. Do it right and peace of mind later. (well.. that IS what I did.. lol) Especially if you...

    Lots of blue smoke/misfire/ turbo?

    I think you need a boroscope now to peek into the cylinders (is that what they call it?) Either way it definitely sounds like your Pistons are the problem... Hopefully the damage isn't too severe

    My 89 HKS Supra build

    Yeah, 16 psi is what I consider Max for the ct26. Yhe housing can't take much more. My AFRs were below 10:1 at full boost with my 57 trim. Snappy though.

    My 89 HKS Supra build

    Im confused, so I went back and read the thread again. I must have missed it. What exactly is in your Supra. Is it standalone? I saw a note about anti-lag and also saw you put a filter on the stock accordion pipe with no AFM.. which confused me a little more. Just wondering what the build...

    1988 Toyota Supra - Arm Assembly and Sub Assembly Solution? (Obsolete)

    I have energy bushings from a Supra I used to own I believe. Poly urethane is prone to squeaking though? I may be thinking of something else.

    The pre89 has only two posts holding it up the 89 is a lot different so new holes and clips. Center, and quarters. New holes if I recall correctly.
