Latest update: new spring rates info! Disclaimer: Guys it sucks I had to put this in but I just had to. The last thing I want is to get sued over this and I'm just trying to help the community out: Do not actually ever assemble this suspension and install it because I dont want to be...
Considerations: - I'd like to decrease weight if the cost/weight ratio is reasonable - Only high-quality parts desired - What are the pros and cons of pillowball mounts? - Which spring rates to purchase? I helped a friend install his HKS coilovers a couple weeks ago and they were the same...
EDIT 12/12/2012 - PICTURES - It appears that since this thread was created in 2007, many of the old, original picture links at supras.com, suprasonic.com, and onelapofamerica.com have fallen out of service. I have all of the original pictures saved, and have since uploaded them to my own Flickr...
I thought it'd be instructive to have a thread on the priority order of modifications necessary to road-race the JZA80... (higher the number the lower in importance initially) EDIT - Please read the whole thread before responding as this list is being changed per feedback in this thread. 1....

tracking my car for the first time next month, instill your supra track knowledge upon me what are the tendencies of our car, what tires work etc... just start spitting it out :D
So I have a competition that I have been chosen to attend. It is a day of autocross plus other events. I have a set of CCW 10x18 and 11x18 that need tires. I have one recommendation of R888 but in reality, there a pretty single purpose tire. I would like to get something that is slightly more...
What do you guys use for your brakes?
I recently noticed that Andi's Supra websites - boostaholic.com and onelapsupra.com (chronicling his '02 and '03 One Lap of America efforts) - are now down unfortunately. I thought it would be cool to copy the contents of his OLA efforts into this thread before they are gone forever (I used the...
My husband Paul is not much of a traditionalist. For our wedding anniversary he got me a Supra to go with my Supra! I love my silver supra (stock twins, best of 10.96) but when he told me about the “old basket case rally car” he found, I took one look at the pictures and knew we had to rescue this...
I finally got around re-configuring my Power Steering cooler (required after 3-Row install) so I could incorporate a 19-Row Oil cooler. So I came up with a "V"-Mount approach. I tested it today at a HPDE and my oil temps are now around 200-210 on a 78 degree day, 2 weeks ago I was getting real...
Anyone running one - either road race or other events? I'm comparing it to the Giken, but the Carbonetics is significantly cheaper, and I can't find any negatives.
Im looking to get my APR Wing mounted properly. The mounts supplied via APR are pretty poor Fibreglass items. At World Time Attack last year, with massive wings and 270km+ it broke and ALMOST flew off. At the end of the straight is a corner taken at aprox 180km, witout a wing id be straight into...

Here is a bunch of relatively long videos from my recent track day at Road America. The sanctioning body messed up my run group and I was stuck in a lot of traffic all day. I didn't time many laps off my Go Pro videos (almost all of them had traffic) but I did find one that is a 2:37, which is...

Hey guys, Racingbrake has decided to restart the TT 2 piece rotor project with some persuasion from speedforsale. Check out the link below and support this project before it gets shelved again. http://forums.racingbrake.com/showthread.php?p=4422&posted=1#post4422
I had it with the slow steering, and having to rotate the steering wheel a thousand times to counter-steer. So, I've been looking into implementing a steering multiplier. Has it been done before on Supras? And where would it be installed?
I was suprized that I did not find any threads here for steering quickeners. Hell, even the guys road racing Hondas have been installing them. I am fed up with 3 turns lock to lock, and have been gathering parts to install one. Just haven't decided if I want a 2:1 or a 1.5:1. Having road...

Wondering those who drive to track days, what tire you guys using? I want to use RS3s to drive to, during, and from track days and switching out for regular all seasons for DD. Just wondering what life expectancy I can expect. Reading Tire Rack reviews, seem very positive. Thanks Jeremy
All, A lot of us have bought the KW V3's now and while the big thread that started 2+ years ago is great it doesn't really get into how folks have setup their suspension for the track and for the street. I thought it would be useful to get settings and impressions in one place. To keep it simple...
