I often wonder how many more they would have sold if they had offered some of the sportier Supra options like the LSD, shocks and mufflers. Maybe a R model, would have been incredible
Installed rear speakers, removed the tails to replace the burned out bulbs, took apart rear of the interior, so I can install the newly cut/drilled lexan back glass that’s going to be next, then I cleaned the interior, red car got a new denso radiator and a flush with good ****!!
Smogged my 92 today after a swing and a miss thursday. They failed me on a "tamper" when they saw the tape i\unwinding from my intake duct bellows. I had a healthy crack in it so I taped it up 3 years ago and forgot about it. It passed last time with that tape on it but he caught it this time. In a panic (as I needed it smogged in 2 days) I used some 4" shrink tubing around the old cracked bellow. Worked like a charm and the guy retested and passed me. I bought a new rubber bellow on Ebay for $9 shipped and I was expecting it here in 4 more days but it came today in the mail so I could have used it for my test but no problems, installed it and am ready to go. With the crack repaired properly, I lost my stumble on acceleration that I thought was transmission related so its all good now! I also dumped a bottle of injector cleaner in the 1/3 full tank and have some interesting results:
Without the injector cleaner and possible leaking intake boot, to after the good repair and the bottle of injector cleaner and about 10 miles, my %CO2 went up 14.6 to 15.1. my HC went down 64/34 to 59/31, my %CO went down .09/.05 to .06/.04and my NOx ppm went down 284/309 to 250/311. There was also a difference in rpm at 15mph 1549 to 1475 and 25 mph 1424 to 1482 (?) probably just the margin of error on the dyno and the guys foot on the gas. There was also a temperature difference of about 15 degrees cooler on final test. Im just stoked it passed as last time it was within 2 points of HC's of failing, now its down to 9 points. Now im going to see if I can save the clear coat on my mirrors. Starting to cloud so Ill light sand and shoot again.
Crank seal is leaking so it seems a good time to replace the timing belt etc. Traveled 150km so its about time. The sad thing is the belt and the pulleys seem perfect.
Here's the link to the a photo of the timing belt still on the car. Image is to big to post in here.
The Harmonic balancer was a real pain to get off. Wouldn't budge with a 310nm impact (rattle gun) ended up using a very unconventional way to crack it. Might post it on one of the forums later.

Nice wheels debating on stepping mine up. Here's my old setup

I want your wheels... You have a really clean car.

The rear speaker install must have been so easy without the glass installed. I broke a bunch of interior parts when I installed mine. lol

You should be posting pictures of your car anyways.

Great job on the headlights. Are the fogs going to be next?

You should. Step lip would look amazing. Although, I don't know how easy it is to find jdm barrels and lips in step.
