It happened to me when I changed the rear springs to adjustable MSS.
I omitted the rubber seats and the sound was coming from metal on metal contact.
I replaced the seats and the sound was gone.
I got them for about $850. Installed them
Myself.
Have run them for about 3 months.
Excellent ride quality. Make the suspension a bit stiffer but preserve the dampening.
Install video omits an important step. The lower seat on the rear MUST BE INSTALLED. Also set them at high position, let...

✅ turbo cooling plate
❓Why: in the crammed engine bay, the heat coming from the turbo mixes easily with the rest of the engine components and increases the risk of heat soaking (heat damage to the car once the car is off and the cooling mechanisms are off line). a cooler...
Joining the chorus here.
Take the car stock. It’s a lot of power for someone just starting. Feel what the car can do.
Then slowly start modifying the car and keep going to the track. As you get more seat time you will be able to extract the power the engine has.
My personal advice on build...
You are spot on. The shop tech where I took it recommended almost neutral on the front and some toe in on the back with the camber that the MSS springs allowed and no camber plates or more toe in the front as I was:
“Too green to try a more aggressive setting”
???
It seems My car came in with a high degree of Toe in from manufacturing or maybe I introduce it during the Spring install.
What the shop did was to bring back to neutral toe in the front and slight toe in in the back.
It may be placebo effect, but the car feels more stable, specially on the...

Are you a professional driver?
I would advise you to search the forums better, it will take much more than just that to build a fairly decent track car, let alone something that resembles a GT4.
Above all you will need track seat time.
If you are not a pro, don’t rush building something that...
Changing tires in the Supra a pain the butt because of the lack of studs, the wheel falls off and replacing the wheel is also a pain.
The ultimate fix for that is a stud conversion.
Picking up the right studs requires knowing if you will use spacers and finding a good quality studs. Usually...
agree. Is less likely, although the lower seats on the coils sometimes crack. Is an easy fix. But if you can’t reproduce the sound, then suspension is out of the equation and you can concentrate on the rotational components
If the sound is reproduced with that is the suspension. If not and only comes about while moving is probably rotors, brakes, ball joints. That way you can isolate the issue little by little.
Car abnormal sounds are a science on their own
