Alex L. Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Ordered Toyota shimless lifter buckets to finish setting lash on the Supra's engine. Provided these buckets give me the measurements I'm looking for, I'll then be able to get the engine back in the car, and maybe start working on it again. Maybe.

zeitgeist57 Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 That's a deal on tint. I'll look at eBay for pre-cut ceramic (non-dye) tint kits for my 2001 Silverado...2 front windows and a non-curved, single pane back window can't be too expensive.

Miller Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Miller, your Viper is iconic. I love the looks of that thing. Thanks Otis. Was going to take another picture in daylight today as I took my maiden voyage on the new setup. Some Honda piped me at the pizza shop and I forgot to take the picture.

zeitgeist57 Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 Got H&R's (p/n 51816) shipped from Tire Rack for $322. Got them on Thursday along with new KYB's and mounting hardware and went to town... LOVE the finished look. Tough to see in pics because it's such a fat pig, but the in-person look is great. I squatted down for the pics but at normal viewing angle the wheels/tires tuck in perfectly with 1-2 finger gap. No rubbing. I'm reminded how good aftermarket springs are. These German-made H&Rs were shorter (obvi) than factory springs, but the steel coils are way beefier. Even with sway bar end links disconnected (trashed them in removal...got new ones coming tomorrow) it took bumps really well and just feels flat and solid. The drop was over 1" each end and still hasn't settled. Needs an alignment. Very happy with the crotchfruit transport now...82k miles so plenty of life left, paid off, and will be having fun for years to come. At least now it won't look like every other Odyssey in a UA school parking lot. If you have a minivan, seriously...get lowering springs. Very cheap way to make it look better and handle well for DD duty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cstmg8 Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 Flattened the springs out on the old Callaway with a skid of mulch. May have overdone it, but it gives me a good idea of how she's going to look with a lowering kit.....

BuckeyeROC Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 Started practicing heel toe downshifts in the Z/28. The pedals were too far apart to do it well consistently with the side of my foot, so I ordered a set from SRP: I was too impatient to install anything but the gas pedal yet, but wow, what a difference. Took it for a test drive, heel toe is way easier now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Have a friend driving from Ohio to California and back over two weeks so I Polished the front end and fenders and then wrapped it in blue tape for him. Its not a brand new van but newer and in really good shape. This should help. Im OCD so i also treated the tape with some Optimum Optiseal so it sheds water. We gave it a good test and he just laughed. I also hit the windshield with Griot's fine glass polish then coated it. Tested it out with a hose and he was amazed. Super smooth wipers and water just rolls off cleanly. Griswalds are on thier way Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Alex- Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 If I was going to drive across the country in a minivan with painters tape all over the front end, I’d at least have to add some scallops or flames or something. Good on you for helping a friend during a tough time though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
