What did you do to your supra today? Pics

Where are you located? I may still have mine laying around

West Covina, CA. Trying to find a local one first.

I was just thinking about this spoiler the other day, I remember when you posted the pics of it just mocked up on the car unpainted. It looks good! I like the simple look, it could be OEM if you didn't know any better. I'm in for more pictures during the daylight.

Thanks! I'm going to tell people it's the OEM wing for the N/A. LoL JP

Yeah, a lot of cars have spoilers like that. Late model A4's come to mind.

I know the spoiler mounts with double sided tape, but did you run the tape all the way along the bottom or how did you do it? The only thing that worries me would be dirt getting under it and rubbing the paint on the hatch.

Ran it all the way across.

Got the A/C retrofitted for the low low one time cost of 1800 bucks... yikes!
Everything looks new except the steel lines... lol. (was expecting 500-600 max... )

... will I ever get a break?

On a different note.. planning on doing the lower control arms next so I can get an actual factual wheel alignment. I have all the parts sourced (1600'ish + shipping from the US), labour is gonna kill me... but planning on doing the sway bars at the same time.

So.. if you have any input or experience with sway bars on a MK3.... drop me a note in this thread: http://www.supramania.com/forums/sh...Bar-Opinions&p=2015529&viewfull=1#post2015529

I have White Line sways. Man, I love them. Definitely helps the car reduce body roll. I noticed much more in corners and freeway on-ramps. The car feels a lot more planted.

On topic. Didn't get much sun light, but here's what I could do with the time I had after washing it.

Thanks for the extra pictures. It looks really good, I may have to get one of these in the future for my Supra as well.

Is that the wing lip that comes carbon fiber or where did you get it??

Got it from a guy named Javis Marte. He makes them in CF and FRP. Thinking if I should get the bigger one but I really like this one.

A few weeks ago I installed 550s and a Lex AFM. I could not get the thing to idle...it would just keep hunting...bouncing between max rich and max lean then it would throw a code 31.

Through many hours of research I figured it was a vac or boost leak. I went through and found a few suspisious connections and tightened them up. It finally started to idle steady. Took it out for a drive and it cruised perfectly but would break up really bad under boost, and it also started to have the idle issue again.

So more research and it came to the same conclusion...vac and boost leak. So this past weekend I replaced all of the vaccum lines, and rechecked all of the IC pipes and couplers...still idled like crap.

Finally it hit me!! the AFM is a Karmen Vortex style sensor...so it needs a vortex to function properly...the AFM I installed did not have the mesh/honeycomb at the intake. I looked at my old AFM and saw that the mesh is not straight...it is off-axis...basically a vortex generator. I found a Lex AFM honeycomb...installed it into the AFM and BOOM...idles like a dream. took it out for a ride, 0 - 120mph with no break-up and super rich under boost...plenty of room to bump it up.


So just a note (seems obvious now) the AFM NEEDS the honeycomb vortex generator to function properly...

 

[Grandavi]

^^lol. That would have never occurred to me. Mine had a new honeycomb and I put it in without thinking..

I thought about pulling it out but I guess thats gonna be a no-go

Got a little Polk Audio 8" sub installed to help out the sound system...

I'll clean up the speaker wire to the amp tomorrow. IMHO, the Supra doesn't need a big sub. This little 8" hits pretty hard. Had to turn down the gain and the control on the head unit. Granted, I'll make a custom box for if/when I take the targa off.

I finished rebuilding 3 more differentials. Woo!
All received the same treatment.
Thought it would look cool to line them up.




Next rusty pile up for rebuild!


Might get to this one at some point too.

I'm gonna have to find someone to rework my diff. The car sat for a touch over 5 years, so the seals are shot and leak. And either the clutches are shot or the fluid is bad (or some combination of factors) as I only have traction off one side at a time.

Any idea what kind of price I'd be looking at to clean mine up and replace worn components?

i picked up some goodies from the machine shop.
bore, honed and decked block, polished crank, gapped rings.
next up is the head and rods should be here tomorrow.
now to figure out what clutch to buy.

My control arms came in and I went to replace them got my jack and jack stands out then went to get my lug nut sockets and nowhere to be found. I put both the lock and spline sockets in the bag they came in then I put them in the side pocket in the trunk I went there to get them and only found my stock lugs that I also keep there but nothing else. I removed the false floor and spare tire and nothing except for a little pool of water in the wheel well from my damn hatch leak. Looked around the car, garage, my desk, my room, and nothing. I am thoroughly confused on how they just vanished and if I get a flat tire until I find or replace them I am screwed.
