Could be a lot of things, bit hard to say without seeing it. We are getting a lot of Supra's coming in with leaking/knocking shocks, as the cars are getting older and older more things need replacing. These bits dont last forever unfortunately!
-
Round the twisties, the car was feeling horrid and the alignment kept going out as my adjusters didn't have a flat on them anymore!
-
I didn't replace the bushes nope.
-
Why's it over the top? My car is 12 years old, knuckle joints wear out and you can't replace them without changing the whole arm. You can of course just change bushes if required. I didn't want to do that as I wanted to refresh my whole suspension to make it feel like new again and it does. I've got TRD ARB's and Cusco strut braces at the moment.

I've just replaced every suspension part on my Supra and can safely say the difference is amazing. I've basically changed all the top arms, lower arms, tie bars, drop links, track rod ends, etc. plus every nut, bolt and washer. 3 of the old bolts were completely seized in the bush sleeves on the lower arms so the arms wouldn't have been moving correctly. I got all this from Japan where the parts are much cheaper than buying from here so it doesn't work out to bad. I'd recommend this to anyone with high miles or getting a bit old like mine!

Did you like the flames? Apparently I was chucking some big ones out! I like.
-
Nah, I forgot my camera. Might be some on the M25 cameras though!
-
Yeah, I was having to let off, bloody slow those 360's. Where were you then, didn't see ya mate?
-
Thanks! It was nice to drive it, first time out in it properly for about 6 months!
-
Yep, good turn out despite the weather eh. Best bit for me was the journey down there with the convoy, always a laugh that bit!
-
Go with an RPS Max street, that will suit your needs perfectly, nice easy take up just a bit heavier than standard, nice.
-
I'm going to do some searching around myself and see what I can get hold of in Japan. Might take you up on that offer though Nic.
-
It does work very well indeedy, I wish they did them for auto's and especially VVTi's!
-
More or less the same though.
-
Easy one that, just use the Aristo VVTi wiring diagram. Job done.
-
Very hard to get hold of these, I wish I could get my hands on a few of them myself. It definately works with a pre-VVTi 6 speed yep as I've mapped a few of them now. Cheers Paul
-
Go with the AEM WB with display, does the business and looks cool and the gang.
-
Nice geezer, dont know if I should reveal his name after seeing that ebay stuff!
-

Just thought I'd let you chaps know about a meeting at a mate of mine, Torque Exhausts in Brimsdown, Enfield area. My car's going to be on show there fresh from the bodyshop, plenty of motors, a couple of magazines, Kiss DJ's and some half naked ladies. Free food as well so if its crap at least you've had a munch up! Have a look here http://www.torque-exhausts.com/cruise/index.htm Hope to see ya there. Cheers Paul

Frosties are better

Indeedy, depends if you've got to pay someone to do it or not.
-
The NGK's are only about £2 each!
-
Every suspension component on the car! All the arms/bars, track rod ends and anti roll bar links. Email me which ones you need if any and I'll give ya prices. Cheers

BCPR7ES yep, go with them.
