Okay the best alarm system in my opinion is viper alarms and depending on the system you get viper can get anywhere from 500 to 1000 dollars. Maintaining a Supra is expensive like costing $50+ for an oil chage(synthetic) and maintaining parts like tires which depending on what you get last only for about 10k to 15k miles. Its like maintaning a ferari not a toyota corolla.

Well the tires do last longer maybe 20,000 miles but I have a bit of a lead foot and my tires get wasted very quickly for me about every 12,000 to 18,000 miles.

The Viper Alarm System is cheaper now and go to this link it has all the info you want to know http://www.drdetailshop.com/V5900SST.htm

I use ths and the guy that tried to steal it got arrested cuz or the remote control alert thing(very useful) thank god that wasnt stolen too much money in mods well good luck with the alarm system. y the way get it installed by a professional not some mechanic that thinks he knows how to install it.

Yes. Oem z-rated rubber is soft, sticky, and helps you to corner like mad. It wears out fast though. The rims don't matter at all - if you change to high-mileage, rock-hard tires, they'll last longer, but your Supra's performance will go down the toilet.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
