The money spent on parts is worth every penny. If you cheap out on parts you will be pulling your hair out. If you cant afford to give your beast the best sell it, because your only looking for trouble if you do. Plus run premium fuel it's better for your gal.

You get what you pay for, why are you running 110 race fuel. Is this a joke?

shiftysupra · 09-13-2008, 02:24 PM

first off why would you deduce that i do not know how to work on my car? and secondly why would you be running race fuel on a dd? obviously you should be able to answer your own question since you own a shop and should be able to fabricate certain parts at your shop as well as know enough that you cant cheap out especially on these cars. it's amazing people ask questions then get butt chapped when you give them advice and bitch when they went cheap inspite of warnings and ruin their car. if you dont want feedback dont post please.... oh and for everyones sake here at the forums get the sand out of your puss... we dont need any pearls

Sorry, I also agree with shiftysupra. Cheap aftermarket parts = endless problems. Supras luv OEM Toyota parts. I found this out the hard way, but it was not too expensive. A local professional shop set me straight before it got really costly. In my case, a Bosch O2 sensor that did not work, and a GP Sorenson fuel pressure regulator with a cheap o-ring that leaked. The shop replaced both with Toyota-supplied parts, and it passed emissions immediately, and still passes 2 years later. So, I paid extra for a Toyota timing belt and clutch set. My baby deserves it.

And, you pay almost $6 a gallon for 110 octane, and want to cheap out on parts? A N/A Supra excels on 93. Built for 91. Your not getting anything more with 110. Spending money in the wrong place.

wow... people get defensive very easy.... anyways i have bad luck with ebay. bought cam gears and they sent civic cam gears, sent them back then they sent the SAME ONES back. then they had the nerve to say i should have picked the right model of car and wouldnt take them back. luckly i know a few guys that needed them ;] i find suprastore.com has some great stuff and will price match. the thing is you have to use.... dun dun duh!... the revolutionary search button. on the gas thing. i use now mid grade fuel and notice absolutely no diff. fuel economy and since running 15* advance no knocking, just thought that you guys would like to know. plus i would really recommend an aluminum driveshaft and new clutch/lightweight flywheel. you will really notice the diff. :]

suprabahamut · 09-18-2008, 04:38 AM

Yeah I only buy stuff usually like air filters cheap, vacuum hoses, stuff that matters but can be cheap some times on Ebay. For stuff that will take a lot of time to replace, I like the quality stuff. Cam Gears, Starters, Clutches, major stuff I buy from good dealers like NAPA. I have some others places you guys might want to check out Welcome to Driftmotion! they have used parts, New high performance and are for just Toyota. I have not bought yet if any of you have please tell me how it went. I would not mind buying from them if they are reputable, and honest with sells.

Run 93 octane max and use that extra cash to save for high quality parts....

110 doesnt make horsepower and only protects you from predetonation..... Isnt necessary untill about 15psi + w/ a turbo
