I'm thinking it's normal...check out this thread: https://www.supramkv.com/threads/smell-when-flooring-it.16456/#post-254026

There are posts on the BMW forums of this same issue...some have had it fixed by replacing the upper steering column mechanism. Others have taken it to the dealership only to have it diagnosed as a faulty rack...replaced and still have the issue.

I only lubricated the pins. The tape goes on the backings, so you wouldn't want to apply anything else there. The idea is that the tape keeps the pad snug against the piston. That's why it's a PITA to get tha factory pads off.

You may want to use some transfer tape. This is what I used, in order to keep the pads from cluncking around: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JKNM3V2?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

In your case, it works well. ?

I get the feeling you want some 'color'. In that case, green seems to be the best so far.

A green such as lime green works...also orange. I wouldn't do blue.

Since you have bronze wheels, I think that either white or black will look sharp, for those are the only two colors that will go with any other color combination. I voted white, since you have a white car and the calipers will "pop". Black is a close second, for they will blend in and carry...

Regarding the DP and exhaust system, you'd want to make sure all of the fasteners are of the same type of material to avoid galvanic corrosion. If you live where the roads are salted during the winter months, or near the beach, you would want to avoid a situation where carbon steel or aluminum...

How about the big socket for removing the oil filter? He's using a strap, which would be difficult on the Supra.

Okay guys...feeling better about using this filter. It seems to be holding up to the twist test. Thanks for the info.

I noticed that the HU 6022 Z Mann filter I just received has the same green o rings (see attached photo). Is it possible that these are counterfeit units? Are they supposed to be black?

For your viewing pleasure...looks fun and a bit scary. https://www.goodwood.com/grr/race/historic/video-onboard-a-shadow-dn4b-at-road-america/

I have the same issue and got the same response. They know it's faulty, but refuse to go any further.

Glad you figured it out, but the endlinks would've been the first things I would have checked, for they are a weak spot in the suspension and are designed that way, to protect the other components from failure. It is especially important to check them from time to time, if you have upgraded...

Since you have all the panels out, you should check the output from the Amp on that channel. Is your subwoofer jumping up and down (clipping)?

Interesting, for I've been trying to get Toyota to do a proper diagnosis of my driver side subwoofer distortion, since I purchased the car. The first dealer replaced the speaker, but that didn't fix the issue...the problem is with the Amp or wiring. The subwoofer bounces up and down, like it's...

This sounds like an awesome opportunity to visit paradise, take your pick of Supras ( quite possibly at a discount), have it shipped to the mainland, and enjoy a break-in drive home...just say'n.

I'm noticing the ticking sound every time I'm in the car now...used to be intermittent. I may bring it up with the dealership, but I hate the thought of them having to take apart the dash in order to get to a faulty actuator, or whatever is causing the sound?
