    MA70 - KW Swaybars - Am I the only one?

    Nice. I might send them an email and see how much a set would be for me. I'm thinking about doing this to my car. It should improve the performance, but keep the stockish look I'm going for. Thanks for the follow up!

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    Today I stopped by a car show/meet on my way home. I was the only Supra there. There was a MK2 Celica Supra too, at least I think it was the Supra version, it had a 2jzge in it, and was pretty rough on the outisde... On my way out a guy on a Harley pulled up next to me and said he had an 87...

    Rear sun shade/visor

    Sorry, but I don't think you're gonna find one off another car that will look good at all. The Supra ones are very square whereas the other cars are usually very round. I couldn't find the ones you mentioned for sale on ebay for the Supra either. I know KevinM, a member here, sells them and some...

    JZA70 return to the road and onwards to reliable performance

    That vinyl wrap is pretty good stuff. If I ever need to replace those louver pieces I plan to use the exact same type of wrap.

    Man cave

    I never knew that these types of lifts were so affordable. I always thought they were a super luxury item for only the very wealthy guy who likes to work on his own cars. Good to know for the future for sure.

    Power steering problem need help

    All good info here, the Magnefine is really easy to install and keeps the suction screen clean too. Maybe your suction screen is so clogged that it isn't letting the fluid through as fast as the pump can take it out and therefore it overflows from the cap when it is being pumped back into the...

    My 89 HKS Supra build

    Nice, let me know how it works for you!

    Power steering problem need help

    How did you bleed it? If it goes from empty to overflowing it sounds like you have air in the system somehow. Have you checked to see if it is leaking anywhere?

    My 89 HKS Supra build

    I like the ultimate compound, and I LOVE that wax. I haven't used it on the Supra yet because I use the Klasse sealant glaze on it, but I use that wax on my Black 4Runner and it is awesome. I can't use the Klasse on the 4Runner because it streaks bad on black. That wax though, it goes on really...

    87 Supra Preservation/Modernization Build (Lots of pics!!!)

    That looks like a really nice camera, but I can't justify spending that much on a camera right now. I found an open box Sony A3000 mirrorless camera for $217 at Best Buy that I'm seriously considering.

    87 Supra Preservation/Modernization Build (Lots of pics!!!)

    Here's the picture the photographer from the car show last night I mentioned took of my car. He captioned it "one of the cleanest stock Supras i've seen in awhile 2 owner manual less then 100k miles" Doesn't mean much in the big picture, but it feels good to know people notice outside of the...

    Vsv

    When I replaced mine I removed the alternator to give myself easier access to the FPU VSV, that is the one under the intake and as AbsoluteSpeed mentioned, it helps with hot starts.

    87 Supra Preservation/Modernization Build (Lots of pics!!!)

    I took the Supra out to a car show last night, and walked back to find a photographer taking pictures of it. He stopped and talked to me for a few minutes and commented on how clean the car is and how there aren't many in as good of shape left anymore. He said if some of the pictures came out...

    87 Supra Preservation/Modernization Build (Lots of pics!!!)

    That's not good. Mine are supposed to be in good shape so I may just do some sort of expanding foam. Fortunately they are coming form the Netherlands so they get less sun exposure there than they would in Australia. The Supra also stays garaged when I'm not driving it so that should help to keep...

    87 Supra Preservation/Modernization Build (Lots of pics!!!)

    Are you talking about the part that will stick out just a little bit when the mirrors are folded? Any suggestions on how to reinforce it? Most all of the lowering springs would lower the car too much for my likes. I would only want .5-1" at the most.

    87 Supra Preservation/Modernization Build (Lots of pics!!!)

    Well since my last update we had multiple snow/ice storms here so I hadn't driven the Supra in awhile. Even after the snow passed I waited for a few rain storms to come through and wash all the sand/salt/cinder stuff they throw down on the roads here when it snows. I don't want to get any salt...

    Suspension upgrades

    I think some of the higher power guys have issues with the rear subframe cracking too, so they go and add more supports and reinforcements to it. Just another thing to look into.

    Linear Rate Springs - Options?

    OK, good to know. How do you find out the height of the spring that you want?

    Linear Rate Springs - Options?

    What springs are those and will the be offering that kit for sale now, or was it like a one off thing just for you?
