Steve's mildly out-of-control build

[toyotanos]

Got 'em from work (dealership). I'll get the part number in a sec. You have to install them kinda weird, the spring wire that holds it onto the upper control arm is finnicky to say the least. You put the boot on with no wire, then spread the wire out with 2 hook style picks then fanagle it into place.

Part number 43324-14010

Cool stuff, the front end is back together! Brakes feel great and the suspension feels quite a bit stiffer. Still needs an alignment badly, but that can wait until nicer weather, not to mention I need to do the rear Sway bars will be the next major suspension purchase, then that should be about it until I find another weakness!

Front end, ready to bolt on the wheel

Nothing crazy here, just eibachs and illumina 2's

Took a look at some local rims for sale, might think about picking them up, AZA typeZ02. 18x8.5F, 18x9.5R, +35 offset all around. Cheap enough, but I'm not sure if they're quite what I want. Here's a pic:

Also looking at some Tork rims of similar sizes, just waiting on specifics. Pic of the Tork rims:

What size rims are those? 17"? I have some Willwoods with slotted rotors in the mail and I have 17" Volks on my car.

 

[toyotanos]

Yep, the rims on the car right now are ICW 17" rims. They have about 3/8-1/2" clearance, so lots and lots of space! But, Vollk may design their drop center a bit different than ICW, so that may play a factor.

 

[IBoughtASupra]

My wheels have good space and they don't use lug nuts. Take a look at my build thread to see the wheels.

Rear suspension is coming apart today, hopefully the adjustments aren't seized!

haha.


Looks great, the wheels that are on it right now look good to me.

 

[toyotanos]

Yeah, only issue is they are only 7" wide
I need more tire to put down the power I'm currently making, let alone what the new turbo and cams will make!

 

[leecheater]

Steve, your car is really looking nice. Hope we have a chance real soon to get them out of the garage. Been a long winter.

 

[IBoughtASupra]

Have you driven the car with the Wilwoods? If so, how the they feel?

 

[toyotanos]

I have not. I'm waiting for the turbo to get back and the car will need a re-tune from the cams/turbo upgrades.

Plan on selling those wheels/tires?

 

[fixitman04]

i was gonna ask that!

 

[toyotanos]

Lol, what's with all the interest in my thread? Nothing special going on here...

I doubt anyone would want these rims/tires. The rear tires and front rims are basically the only good things about the whole package- all the rims are scraped up and the Pass rear rim is bent. Not sure if keystone could fix it, but I don't care too much. The front tires are Eagle LS's, which is more of a Lincoln tire than a Supra tire. Best case scenario as I see it would be swap the GY Eagles to the front rims and run 15" drags in the rear for race day.
I mean, I won't stand in your way if you wanna buy a 235-45-17 package, but you would need to be OK with some vibration via that bent rim, or be OK with repairing/replacing it. IDK, but that's just the way I see it, I just don't want to pass a problem onto anyone!

 

[IBoughtASupra]

Yeah, what is with all the traffic in here. Nothing going on in here, y thread has all the polished bling and since it is a JZ, it is better.

Just kidding man.

 

[emiliorescigno]

Good to know - I am no longer interested in those rims!

 

[toyotanos]

lol, knew it

 

[Moy]

Very nice. I have one (test pipe) from RR as well. Very excellent quality. Light too, I was surprised by it. I bought one that was 3" 2 bolt and ceramic coated haha

Jeeze Steve, ya keep changing the picture lmao. Make up yer mind

 

[fixitman04]

im still kinda interested in the rims.... but id have to see them in person first. maybe your car will actually exist at the next supra meet. my car is stock....and i can replace the bent one. i like the way they look

 

[toyotanos]

LOOL! You saw that?
I am looking into getting an exhaust manifold from George, but he sent me a pic of a 2JZ manifold....so I was checking around his database for the right pic...never found it LOL!

This is the one I want:
