Paint it green. You know you want to

Nic work on the HSDs

Coming from a Soapra owner, dont do it! I much rather have the popup headlights right now. I guess because I dont have replacement parts for the front end, I much rather have the regular front. Also the cutoff on the headlights is wrong for us in the States as all the cars are LHD.

well suspension went in today, and i have ahouston

drivers side front went in without a hitch prolly a 20minute swap over not much if at all

but when coming to the passenger side, the top control arm fouls on the locking ring on the hsd's, could the control arm be smaller?

drivers side no problems at all clearance good, totally stumped

are the fa70 and m/jza70 arms differant sure not? though it is a jza70 hub.

The JDM JZA70 upper rear arms I had are different shape to the AU MA70 ones so maybe there's a difference at the front as well?

Casey

there is only one upper arm, but a few different lower arms, so maybe strut mount on the lower arm is in a different spot causing fouling.

There is a few differnt steering knuckles too, though I suspect some are for ABS or non-ABS cars but still there are more than 2 types

That being said, all the coilovers from Japan are just labelled as A-70 and thats it, but maybe their lock ring is more strategically placed

 

[Xistant]

all lower arms are ex jza70

got me beat.

 

[Xistant]

ill pull the wheels off the front again this weekend and measure length from arm to strut.

 

[Xistant]

morning all,

well just a quick little update, tomorrow the water pump changeover starts along with some goodies! pics will be taken of my dirty biatch.

i have also decided to save some coin and paint the supra all over in.... *drum roll*


ford "ego" (dark metallic grey.)

 

[IJ.]

But the Purple is so "festive"

 

[HKS_TRD]

I actually liked the purple, but the color you have chosen will look sweet too.

Keeping the same wheels?

 

[Hybrid]

Metalic grey, awesome!

I am pre-empting your pain as you commence the job

 

[Hybrid]

Also what happen with the HSD's Casey?

A friend of mine has them in his 89 Supra, fit perfectly.

 

[Xistant]

something wrong with my passenger side front the lower locking ring fouls on the top wishbone .

i wont be doing the prep work this time round haha.

purple is in memory but just too "HELLO!" so Dark grey it is.

 

[Xistant]

hurray,

no more leaking water pump

grex oil relocator is on also but the earl's fitting not on tight enough and sent the oil low light on so hard to get a 1inch spanner in there to tighten it

 

[HKS_TRD]
