i have a few questions

suprakid91 · 12-03-2007, 07:52 PM

first off, when i bought the car it kind of vibrated when i braked. but it was very minor. now its worse. like warped rotors. i think thats what it is. and i only feel it on the front. the guy i bought it from told me after market ones will warp. i don't really believe him. but i thought i would ask the experts on that. and also, where can i find a new...er leather or whatever it is drivers side seat? mine is pretty tore up from getting in and out of it. also i have a lot of free play on my clutch pedal. like i can press it in about an inch and a half before it starts to disengage. the clutch itself was replaced about a year ago. he showed and gave me all the paperwork on all repairs and maintenance on it. what could that be? and finally, what is the best sounding exhaust/ muffler that you guys have? because mine is too quiet. i want people to look. not that they dont because i have one of only a handful in minnesota. but still i want to make it sound really nice.

anything would help. thanks

Ok for the rotor question if they are aftermarket then they are prolly slotted and cross drilled. If they are then they arent repairable that I know of. But if it just that they are factory replacement then take them to autozone or oreillys and get them turned for cheap. As for the clutch question you have air in the lines you have to bleed it at the slave cylinder on the transmission it is on the driver side just looks like a actuator. As for exhaust I have the HKS dragger and it sounds decend just not as loud as you would think but if you have a N/A then there is no point in getting a big exhaust. Go for something like a HKS hi power or something. But I am going to warn you they arent cheap.

thanks. i have the 7m-gte so its not a n/a. and the rotors are factory so i think i will just get them turned. how much does a big exhaust cost? or can i just get a performance muffler to get it sounding good. im limited on money. still paying off the loan to get the car. ha.

Depends on which exhaust you get I paid 600 for my HKS but the nur spec goes for more than that. Just putting a muffler doesnt do much for you and you might hurt your performance. I would just save the money and buy a good cat-back when you get the money. But I guess that all depends on how bad your exhaust is right now. If you get a 3 inch downpipe 3 inch test pipe and a big cat back you are going to see a really good gain.

I have a Tanabe HyperMedallion Exhaust (Cat-Back) and that runs about 600. It's not loud at all, but you can tell it's a Supra when you get on it. It's also a 3" pipe. As far as the rotors go, check out how much it costs for replacement rotors from a local parts store or Advanced Auto Parts. It might be worth it to just buy new ones.
