part # 00910 for the sticker.

Where would you put the sticker?
Darn, those blades looks to be US only, Canada never got them...
I would put the sticker on the rear quarter glass, but it looks to be a dealer special, since the part number isn't 10 min. digits

Thanks Luxor. They work great and are super quite.

your build looks great so far! I’m in the middle of gathering parts for my turbo build. Just finished the GTE ECU mod. So far I have the 11ga turbo manifold, tial wastegate, dump tube and precision 6176 turbo. I’m going to ask a friend if he will help me pull my motor so that I can build it up like you did. I really don’t want to build it while it’s in the car.

Bummer! Always hated when that happened, so I bought a torch set. A bit of heat on stubborn bolts helps avoid that. A set of mini torches is good thing to have around. Good luck with the fix and install.

That really sucks bro.

Looks like the bolt broke on the front LCA? I didn't remove mine to install coilovers, just had to compress the springs enough to pull the existing springs and struts out then do the same on the new coils.

ahh another good tip! Yes, the bolt in the front LCA, and I struggled with the 2nd bolt too! I got so used to the spring/shock install (I've done it more than a handful of times now) that it was just second nature to remove the lower shock mount from the LCA, plus didnt have spring compressors at the time.

I don’t know why everyone using this method removing suspension or lowering their ride, it’s much easier just taking the long *** control arm bolt, loosening the water bottle and flipping the control arm and you’re done!!!

This way you don’t fight the shock trying to get to those two bolts off jm observation!

Tanin auto came to San Diego for the week. He fixed my broken tachometer and threw on some blue needles. I'm very happy with the results.

Universal or swivel joint 14mm + an extension + an impact takes off those 2 bolts much faster than removing the UCA.

The shock getting in the way is only an issue with springs/shock combinations. Most coilovers I've installed on my car are shorter, so it's easy to access those bolts.

Had a rare optional Supra 5 speed LSD (4.08) refreshed and swapped for my open diff pumpkin on my original 97 5speed with only 50k miles. While in there I had them put stoptech crossed drilled rotors, pads and braided break line all around and swap out a slew of bushings on GP
