OMGZWTFBHGBBQ! lol...that's alright, I like the pre-89 bumper, but I do need an undercover, and a stock lip spoiler among other things. Is there a good junkyard by your house, Matt? Out here, there aren't usually any Supras, and when there are, they are totally stripped within the first day. :(

Okay, here are some pics of the shocks I just picked up...Aaron said they had 5-7k on them...what do you guys think of them? I think the bushings look a little pinched.

That bushing crush is normal, don't worry!

Fender looks great! We have to do the rest of the car...

I had that same problem on my 7m! If you keep tightening it, and it keeps coming loose, that means the stud is slowly pulling out. Easy fix is to buy a 1/2" longer bolt (so it will go deeper and grap fresh threads) and put it in there, not a stud but a bolt. I did it and it never came loose again. If you want to fix it the right way, Driftmotion has replacement stud kits.
