Your car is now my desktop background at home and work. It's what I want mine to look like.

No need to bump. People are just out for New Years.

Hey GTS, I'm loving the car almost as much as you...and not just because mine is nearly identical...lmao. Very clean car..

So on my past couple of drives, I had noticed a bit of a pull and the smell of overheated brakes. It appears that my stock calipers were getting sticky, and the right caliper was stuck, which killed the pad and overheated the rotor. Here is my solution, thanks to AZP :biglaugh: My old Konig wheels wouldn't clear the calipers- the shape of the spoke is all wrong for brake upgrades. I only needed 5mm extra clearance, so I had a set of custom wheel spacers made by www.wheeladapter.com to gain some space. Some longer wheel studs, and the spacers, and it all fits!

more info on the marlin crawler 1st gear thrust washer?

Wow I don't think I saw the interior before. One of nicest burgandy interiors I've seen. shoot me a pm if you want some floormats/ my lady is making me some trunk mats. That brake kit is just what I want it gets expensive when it's x2. I better go check the money tree.

The Marlin thrust washer is a one-off deal. It's just a cryo-treated stocker, but seems to be holding up a bit better. Also, there are additional oiling grooves machined into the washer to try and keep a little oil between it and first gear.

After breaking 2 others, I got smart and quit banging the gears so hard. I came to the realization that a Supra is NOT a 1/4 mile car, but rather a GT car, and drive it as such. Between the upgraded part and some more attentive driving habits, I haven't had any further trouble with the transmission....

Thanks for the offer on the floormats, but I have the originals in MINT condition in plastic out in the garage. I use the cheap rubber mats for everyday use...

I know your guys weather so I would do the same. I have nice set and daily set also.

I think thats good idea on cry thrust washer.

will have to give you a call when I'm back in town.

 

[reklund5]

It's not really a daily-driver at all anymore, but if I drive it to work, I don't want to stick my size 14 greasy boot all over my nice carpeted mats...

Let me know when you're in town for sure!

GT car for some, street murderer for others.

i fall into the latter of the two categories.
