I had driven the blue 88 to Vegas a few times for SIV. In 2019 it was the best trip. I actually made a publicity photo while driving down the strip with a ton of other supras. Also, the drive home was spectacular. It was such a good memory so the fate of this car has left me a little...
I've got to add a sad update to this thread. Couple of years ago I had my 88 Supra swapped to a manual. Well, I hated it and put the auto back in. While doing so I bought a new Toyota center bearing for the driveshaft and had a shop install it and balance the shaft as well as put new u-joints...
Got the wheel bearings replaced and that did not make one bit of difference other than knowing my wheels won't be wobbling around and falling off now. That horrible buzzing/bearing roar was still there. I had already had it scheduled for the transmission shop to fix a leak which turned out to...
Well I got the new diff in and wow what a difference. The driveline feels very tight now....but...with new things, old worn out things become very noticeable. Both wheel bearing are shot so I ordered new ones and the shop called today and its ready but I won't be able to pick it up until Tuesday...
Good information. I have been thinking I may need to replace my rack as well but need to do further investigation though. I have significant slack in the steering that showed up immediately after replacing my engine a couple of years ago. I had planned to drop the subframe to replace the...
A little update. I just said fuck it and bought a rebuilt diff from Piratetip. It should be here tomorrow. I also put a new center bearing on my two piece driveshaft and had it professionally balanced and I will be re-installing that with the new diff and removing the one piece drive shaft. I...
Well last year I was not able to drive the Supra to Vegas due to multiple issues, which all of those that existed then have been taken care of. This year I swore I would have it ready for this years Supras in Vegas but since I leave tomorrow and there's still a problem, it looks like I'll be...
Did the steering damper come with the new rack? I'd like to find one if the dampers are available without having to buy a whole rack n pinion.

My steering damper is completely blown. Do you know of anybody who rebuilds those or is there any comparable part number that will ffit it?

Stock boost is around 6.8lbs. You should torque head bolts to 72 ft/lbs for a stock application. Do not use any kind of block sealer. Just don't.
I'm having trouble understanding your post but after washing your engine it's missing? Then you took out the spark plugs and found coolant in the...
I was there and stared at this car a lot!! The song Jizz in my Pants kept running through my mind. Ken's car and several others made me ashamed I had to drive my very non supra Mercedes to Vegas. I would've won the distance award had I been able to drive mine dammit.
Oops sorry. I did get my engine back finally and have it almost ready to go back in which is good because I leave for Vegas a week from today so with my work days excluded, I have 4 days to get the engine/trans in, the one piece driveshaft and my new HKS exhaust. Then I just have to hope and...
