Long term update on the Race Ready 7MGTE Supra: I've been driving the Supra’s new set-up, lightened Fidanza flywheel, new Action clutch kit, new poly bushings for the motor and transmission mounts, and all the suspension bits, for the past four months (Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan) through the wet...

Here's my non-staggered set up: 245/45/16 BFG/KDW. They aren't adequate for the torque the Supra now makes. I'm planning on 17x9, Enkei RPF1 http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/enkei-racing-wheels.jsp with a near stock off-set and 255/40/17 tires. Van

"Thanks for the review Van. I trust the words coming out of your mouth more than most reviews I've seen so far. So, my assumption that this car is a momentum car and needs you to carry more speed in than trying to power out seems correct. Now, the question is, would you ever consider one...

I took time out during the holidays to drive this car. I and the sales rep drove it around the local country roads, (ones that I regularly drive the Supra), and the weather cooperated, no rain!. Roads were still wet, but no standing water. I was surprised that the space for a six footer was as...

Brian Riley helped build a 700BHP Supra motor last year. He owns a tricked out 2JZ NA-T built by him and tuned by PSI, that resides in an old school 1930 Chevy Resto-Rod. Check out his web site http://www.mbcylinderheads.com/ . Van

So, different car and different chassis, we're talking about an MA70 chassis not the Toms GT500 running a 3gs motor making 480BHP, with an unknown chassis set-up. Let's make sure we help this team on a budget. With that said; the Bemani team was successful and used these bars as shown in the...

May I suggest: Castrol SRF at $75.00 a liter; it will get me and the Supra through two seasons. It is a good value; it has one of the highest wet boiling points on the market. I also recommend the Porterfield R4-1 carbon-Kevlar brake pads over most the others, as I've tried most of the others...

Hi, I wasn't aware that Tanabe's, RSR Racing springs weren't available. I'd place an ad in the Supramania Classifieds and Supra Forum. Van

Yes it is one of the usual upgrades for the reasons cited and for durability. I also found the brake booster stabilizer from Beech Performance was an added benefit, as it allows for less movement of the firewall, sending more force to the brake master cylinder. Van

I did! Let me know when you need it... Van

I've had good results getting my racing equipment through Driftmotion, Porterfield http://porterfield-brakes.com/keySearch.php?search=supra&manufId=&_pge=2&_sby=&_ord=and IO Port Racing http://www.ioportracing.com/index.html. With regard to radiator choice, I picked a Koyo Racing and added a...

I've a few questions: 1. What shape are the engine, transmission and dif in? 2. What improvements have been made to the brakes? 3. What condition are the tie rod ends and ball joints? 4. What condition are the suspension bushings? 5. Any cracks on the rear sub frame collar that goes over the...

Hi te72, Here is a quote from "Turn Fast Race Driving... "Bump steer-- is the introduction of steering input caused by a bump in the road surface. When a wheel travels up and down over a bump, it actually swings in an arc. If the steering tie-rod does not swing in the same arc as the suspension...

Here is one Supra I'd like to own:... The Supra HV-R, jointly developed by Toyota and SARD. Here is more from Wikipedia; "The Supra HV-R is a hybrid race car based on the Super GT Supra jointly developed by Toyota and Toyota Team SARD. The four-wheel drive HV-R combines a 4.5 L V8 (480 hp) from...

I'll likely go AEMv2 thru Driftmotion when I get tired of working with all the old electonics on my car. The ECU and AFM are both more than 20 years old! Van
