    After 3 months in the bodyshop, car is back!

    AS said, your car looks great, well worth the wait. The pin stripe is debatable, appears not to be too noticeable, if anything I might have picked up the interior color in the pinstripe. Main thing is it certainly doesn't detract from the overall clean statement that your car makes. Thanks...

    Rally Heritage

    Just had to watch your video again this morning. Really looks like fun! It's inspiring how well you have conceived the total purpose of your car. Kind of like taking the blinders off to the "fun performance" aspect of owning a Supra. Also allows you to to take full advantage of living in Au...

    Rally Heritage

    Hey Ian, man that takes me back some 40+ years. Used to go on SCCA road rallys with my dad in his XK150 Jaguar, that was fun! Then I started driving them in a Sunbeam Rapier that I had for a while. Remember we used to run night rallys some times with out lights, didn't want others to see...

    Where did you buy your body kit and wheels for the Previa? I have a '92 with 335'000 miles on...

    Where did you buy your body kit and wheels for the Previa? I have a '92 with 335'000 miles on it. I was just thinking of letting it go to the Previa "happy hunting grounds" but after seeing yours I might just keep it as another project. Love that old van, it's always been reliable and spent a...

    Losing Interest

    I have an '02 Lexus, I have an '07 Tundra, I have a '92 Previa Van w/ 335,000 miles on it, then I have my Supra. The Supra sat for 5 years in a shop with a built engine slowly being paid for while I paid for my son's college. I dreamed about driving it again a lot, now it's back. Now it's...

    Installing Strut Bars

    That is interesting to know, I thought that the strut bars were designed to take some flex out of the upper strut towers. What is the difference in our suspension configuration that minimizes the effect of the strut bars? I have Cusco front and rear bars on mine and thought I noticed some...

    Do you want Energy Suspension Poly Bushings? READ HERE.

    Don't know if they are supposed to be softer that poly, and I just bought 2 new ones from Toyota. Part #48725-14040. I was going to have them installed when the Lipp traction arms were put on and they were not changed. I do have them still in the packaging from Toyota, their price was $22.00...

    Need Help, Need a Pic...

    Thanks for the compliment, just trying to help you get what you want. As far as the steel bumper, I honestly do not know if there is a difference between pre 89 and 89+. Hopefully someone on here can answer that question for you-me. That is why I suggested seeing if the steel bumper from your...

    getting around emissions here in MD?

    Take your car thru emissions, if you fail you have 90 days to get the car right. Bring in a receipt for over $400.00 for repairs done to your car AFTER you failed the first emissions test, if you fail the test which is free this time, you can get a waiver good for 2 years and still be able to...

    I don't think it's that necessary to take the upper panel off. I know I didn't when I removed the bumper. Use liquid wrench on the steel bumper bolts before removing them. Check with your friend with the '91 and see if he has his steel bumper available if you want to swap that out. Otherwise...

    I was wondering the same thing. Guess we should pick a location and day and see who is interested. Anyone mentioned is OK with me and I still like Mt. Airy that Aye Mate started this thread with. Of course I have to have my car back from the shop! Hopefully by next week.
