I'd check out supraforums.com first, and do a search on "harmonic balancer". Also check the supraforums classifieds.

If your hb went out, that sounds like there could be a serious problem elsewhere. The modified Supra community is very wary of balancer problems that are the result of improper aftermarket clutch installations and aftermarket flywheels.

found out from the lex dealer that this is a common problem. it doesnt happen to all, but it is a design flaw. i also found out it isnt a harmonic balancer it just silences accessory noise from the cabin. it is a two piece design with a small amount of glue holding it together. i replaced it with a underdrive pulley from UNORTHODOX racing. you wouldnt believe the difference!! plus the cost of a new pulley is $300.00, i picked up the new underdrive pulley for $119 (normally priced at $235), they are on special right now till x-mas.

i recommend this upgrade to anyone, plus i did it myself in a couple of hours (pain free).
