Saved so 150kg.
Next i must get diff bushes made.
Great job on the weight savings.

Stiffer subframe bushings benefit more than solid diff bushes. Where did you get the info that diff bushings might help?

You can create a budget-substitute for the front one using a stack of very wide steel washers. Not as good as the TMS replacement, but it's a decent start.

Did you ever get wider rims? You could even get the oem rims widened if you're on a budget. My first rim width upgrade was oem rear rims on the front and widened oem rear rims on the back - it worked great!!!

Getting the correct width of rubber, using drag-specific rubber, and the correct tire pressure will be the best first steps to getting that 1/4 mile time down.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
