Thanks guys.. the rotor brand is Cbrakes, they are sold on ebay but they have very good reviews. So far I'm very satisfied with the quality of them.

not really i don't think its worth it putting performance upgrades on the n/a engine. Im just gonna drive it as it is and keep it up to date with maintenance until it has a ::bhg:: or it blows then replace it with a 1jz.
lil update:
After getting some heavy rain here in FL i noticed there was water coming inside into my trunk area and i had to replace the rear tail lights gaskets. I also changed the hatch weather strip cause i was getting some real nasty fumes inside the cabin.
Got all the rear panels out, it was easier than i thought.
Then removed the tail lights to replace the 23 year old gaskets. Notice how bad in shape they are.
Fresh gaskets from Toyota
Cleaned up the mating surface for optimal sealing..
Old trunk weather strip
New weather strip
I didn't take pictures of everything installed cause my battery died..:icon_frow but ill have some updates in the next coming week.

Fixed for ya.
Did you get the weather stripping from Toyota too and how much? If you don't mind me asking.
okay....Yea the weatherstrip is from Toyota. I ordered everything form toyotapartszone.com it cost me 70 buks. Its way cheaper than the stealership.
Last Sunday i put the supra on jack stands to start working on a few stuff:
Here are a few stuff i had saved up in my closet:
First figure out why my speedometer didn't work..
I noticed that the short cable that conects to the tranny was resting on the exhaust which is no good. I removed it and checked if there was a break in that line and it was.
Old vs New
Got it installed and on to the clamp.
My speedometer is alive.. :icon_bigg

So i noticed a while back that my cluth master cylinder was leaking over my carpet so instead of rebuilding it i replaced it with a new Exedy CMC.
Here's where the leak was coming from:
Old MC:
This a great tool to remove fuel and brake lines without striping them:
Removed:
New 1:
Installed:
after bleeding the clutch line I can really feel a difference, the old one felt very sluggish and now it feels firm with no leaks.

While the car was in the air i went ahead and did the suspension and painted the calipers with brakets.
For the suspension i used New 4 Kyb excel-g shocks with new boot and bump stops and used H&R Springs.
I noticed that front rubber coil insulators were missing so i ordered them from my local Toyota dealer:
H&r springs vs Cut oem 1
Old
New
On the floor, still needs to settle:
The ride quality is day and night difference from before..It rides smooth and firm not bouncy at all. Im very pleased, idk why i didn't do this more sooner.

Wow looks great! how difficult/time consuming is the clutch master cylinder to replace? envy your suspension I cant wait for mine to arrive from Germany! is the car light blue of silver?
Also Toyota supplied the rear tail light gaskets? They are on my list to do as well and need to track them down. check out my thread if you like

Thanks. The clutch master cylinder is pretty easy being the first time i ever done one , the hardest part is removing the two bolts behind the clutch pedal cause there's not a lot of space. Its silver but it looks gay blue sometimes being that its a bit faded. Yes Toyota supplied all the gaskets.
