So, first things first. I'm going to do a leak down and a compression check. But after that I neeed to figure out mounting. The car is a super early 89, So the harness and subframe are different that you'd expect. the subframe is the pre-89 style, So I'm going to have to fab some mounts at the...

Yep, I finally dropped the cash and got it!! I'm planning on getting it installed by the end of the month. Plus I plan on documenting everyhting on here that way it's a lot easier for anyone else that wants to do the same and here's the swapee victim. My plans for now are to stick...

hmmmm...... all of the engineers I deal with here call it sweating... I'm not an engineer, so I'm not even going to argue with either of you. lol it's a lose lose situation. But maybe I'll ask and see if I get a corrected answer, and a misnomer identified.

filler metal????? Basically the outer sleeve is heated up and then placed on the strut. Then when it cools down it shrinks onto the strut tube. and that shear ring concept still looks like a really bad idea.

where the heck would you put the groove.... bad idea. I might start doing these after I eliminate a couple of projects I have going. And after a lot of road testing

thanks again, and BTW IJ thank you, yoou gave me the idea for the next change to this idea! I'll post up some pics when I get to making the changes.

ummmm yeah... bilstein never made a tems strut. Obviously a typo by some corporate schmuck filling out forms. ;0 Thanks $30 per strut, but still... it's very cost effective since I bought all 4 tok's plus an extra foe a test piece for $275. lol i was wondering how long it would be before...

I got my bushing in about 2 days... but then again I cold have just as easily drove down there and picked it up in person.

they're online, I found the kit for around $30. Next time I'm online I'll try to post links.

The trick here is keeping heat dissapation in mind in order to make a strong secure weld without overheating or distorting the shock/strut. So I used a piece of tube withe the greatest amout of mass to absorb the heat from this spot type weld. I also used a chamfered hole so that there was good...

the bilsteins don't support tems. These are Toiciko's <sp> Sorry I forgot to mention the best part about this setup.

I'llet let the pictures speak for them selves first ;) the tube was sweated on first then very very very carefully spot welded in place.

fun stuff

I'm guessing IJ is close. I had the same problem with the old supra and it was the servo, but on my newer supra it was the ac controller box that failed right after I changed it out, so I had to find a third box.

I've seen the car too. it's a 91 is all i know.

Looks like ED is doing some good work finally. I've bought their body kits before and they're nothing special.

I found all kinds of stuff when i stripped out the old supra. drugs, porno mags, change ect...

sweetness...

lol, thanks. I talked to the guys at billetballs.com. Things look promising....

Well, if anyone was wondering.... Yes, I'm still working on these. But I've been having problems finding a shop other than the one I work at that's reliable. So Tomarrow I'm going to be talking to the guys at billet balls (They make billet shifter knobs) about making them for me.
