It has new front rotors, pads, hubs & bearings ok, wheel alignment - the best it has ever been now the back has been done, but it has a strange noise. If you go over an undulating or uneven surface, you get a dragging noise and a vibration through the throttle pedal - not the steering wheel or seat. It is like something is touching the bottom of the vehicle but not all the time or hitting the throttle cable... The noise is just as bad on the coast. At first, it was only in right hand sweepers but now it is there all the time. If you apply the throttle, it goes away for a bit then comes back. Could this be a broken engine mount causing the engine to rock about over bumps? I cannot budge it though and no strange noises when lock to lock. Power steering is good too - no pump noises... Noise is coming from the front as fsar as I can tell. I have replaced a rear hub before and it is definitely not that. This is driving me nuts and it feels like something is going to fly off... Any ideas? The Supra drives great otherwise but the KYB adjustable are not really a good match to the stock springs - needed the ground clearance.

These days I drive the Supra only a few times a year, one of which is for the bi-annual CA smog test. :P I just recently put in the GT28R upgraded twin turbos and did custom IACV and EGCV housings for permanent TTC without the butterflies (nor actuators, solenoids, and that ugly vacuum distribution spaghetti), but want to do the fuel dampener bypass mod (actually I want to try to keep the dampener but just get rid of all but one of the banjo fittings) before I tune the car. The Supras are so unusual here in Silicon Valley's sea of BMWs and MBZs, everytime I see one I think, "what a beautiful car." I still have a few little projects for the Supra but between a family and a demanding job I have precious little time to actually do any modding. I do plan to keep my Supra forever though, even though it is awfully tempting to trade it in for a slightly used V8 M3 or Z06 Corvette or something...one that's probably faster and more advanced than my car now.

As for smoke residue, I know you can eventually get it off of glass with Windex and a good scrub, i don't know about discolored plastic. You can get a replacement windshield for under $200 installed if you shop around. I had a rock in mine last year and I was very pleasantly surprised by that.
