    play in rear wheel @ 6 and 12 accompanied by NASTY sounds

    grinding, popping, clacking, binding... I already made a thread, and people are saying it's my diff. but my diff seems to be fine. the fluid looked a lil old, but no particles or anything in it... also seemed to work just fine when I've tested it. Does anyone know of anything in the...

    ma-70 carbon fiber twill weave & plain weave parts.

    I don't think people really care what that part is made out of... (I sure don't... FRP would be perfect for me) there is simply a demand for replacement panels since those rust through...

    7mgte no Thermostat Safe?

    Optimum level of cool is 190 degrees Fahrenheit as specified by manufacturer. Removing the thermostat is not a good idea, as it regulates your operating temperature (and is supposed to keep it where it needs to be) so, If you have to remove it just to keep your coolant temp gauge in the...

    need a phone number to get in touch w/ someone @ Elmhurst or Champion Toyota

    so I just call the 1800 number and they're not gonna tear me a new asshole? shit how am I supposed to know? I guess I could've called and then said "oh, sorry I can't pay that"... Whatever, I thought there was actually a specific person you guys call, not some sketchy toll-free number. And...

    Paint Job Color Suggestions anyone?

    funny thing is I want to spray my 89 in gunmetal here shortly... although I was going to do my stolen hardtop in harley davidson black super red did look great on my 89 though... I even like the burgundy one I have now... shoot the mk3 looks good in about any color TBH

    Need Help! Rear Diff Noise After Suspension Rebuild

    my 89 did this when I switched to a 1-piece driveshaft... I assumed it was normal.... slack in u-joint? I could be wrong... my engine had sheered completely off the mounts and was sitting a bit sideways, so I think my diff could easily have sustained damage from that... from what I'm...

    Need 7M Guru's! Having 7M Heating Issues

    lol, common sense. I figured it wasn't worth mentioning... since it's blatantly obvious if you take 2 seconds to think about it.

    7m dyno's at 467whp with bolt-on turbo * dyno vid and chart *

    haha, i just realized where you are... I just picked up a burgundy 89 from right by hagerstown (from an old friend, toyota tech) good stuff though... looks like your torque down low is pretty good.... looks like you have a hardtop... those things SCOOT:naughty: the one I picked up is a...

    ma-70 carbon fiber twill weave & plain weave parts.

    sorry to have to correct you guys, but the mk3 was the beginning. In japan the mk2 was just a celica XX... no Idea what the Mk1 was, but in the US we've had 4 generations of supras....

    I hate my shift knob...... Help Please :)

    hm... I'd prefer a rubber/leather knob... shoot OE one is perfectly fine by me, but my car came with a metal TRD knob... it's just annoying when it's cold as shit outside, you know... solid metal tends to be pretty cold.... yeah

    BIC Divorced Downpipe

    that's funny, that's what my 89 did w/ no boost controller (hit boost cut w/ stock wastegate, no modification) again... I will note I believe '88 parts were used to build my car (the vin said it was assembled the first month in 89, and a ma70 chassis was used (not ma71)) the wastegate design...

    ma-70 carbon fiber twill weave & plain weave parts.

    Uhm... isn't the b-pillar an exterior part? that's what I was wanting is the trim right behind the window... I'm with ya on that one and yes, I need some mud flaps... although I wouldn't want these in carbon fiber.. would look pretty idiotic IMO... maybe just a fiberglass pannel that...

    Coming to a conclusion...

    Yeah I saw a pretty dang nice stock non-turbo '91 for sale (on here). I almost bought it, but I picked up a re-built '89 turbo from a personal friend. Just be patient and keep looking.

    I spent the last few hours traveling down memory lane...

    Yeah, I tried that route (working on things with friends) turns out I woulda been 100% better off just being an absolute loner. Not because my friends don't know what they're doing... I was supposed to be running a shop w/ my best friend in '08. That went to hell real fast, along w/ my car...
