So bit of an update on the Supra,
The stock clutch (now 20 years old) started slipping about a month ago...it was still driving ok, but as soon as you wanted to put down any sort of power it would slip and just sit there. So i started looking at replacements. I thought for sure i was going to be up for at least a grand for a decent exedy clutch kit, however i was surprised when they were only around $700. I did some more research and then a mate of mine put me onto a place that rebuilds clutches. I thought it would be definitely cheaper to go that way, and get my pressure plate rebuilt.
Now, i didnt realise the 1JZ-R154 combination used a pull type clutch, which instead of the throwout bearing pushing against the fingers of the pressure plate, the throwout bearing is "clipped" into the fingers of the pressure plate and then pulls back towards the gearbox to disengage the clutch. My brother (mechanic) let me know before pulling the box out that they can be a bitch of a job, depending on how it's "clipped" in. I ended up doing some research on the net about it, and found that the only real way to get the box out was to unbolt the pressure plate from the flywheel while the box is still in the car (the bellhousing has an inspection plate on either side to get to the bolts). With the new clutch rebuilt to a Hi-Torque spec, one above heavy duty, but still using an organic clutch plate, we installed it back in and its now awesome to drive again :lol:
I never really liked the thought of Nissan wheels on a Toyota, so i've been on the lookout for some decent wheels to replace them (plus the fact that the fronts scrub a little in hard cornering). Yesterday i went to check out an importers down the goldy, and ended up purchasing some Work Emotion XD9 Rims. They are 17x 9.5 rears and 17x 8.5 fronts....they look absolutely awesome, i never thought bronze and dark green would look so good together. Anyway, on with the pics!

That's where the car stands go. I wouldn't feel comfortable under the car unless it is supported by at least pair of decent carstands and a jack.
Need to get one of those big mofo low profile jacks.
I'm on the lookout for a workshop jack myself....i'll let you know if i find any at a decent price. :P

Its not the fronts, its always the back that seems to be the problem.....they have done a fair few k's since i replaced them last. The oil seals need doing as well, so thats another thing on the list. Meh, it's all good, i have 2 other cars to choose from to drive.
