3rd Generation Supra TEMS conversion help

I have recently bought a 90 supra N/A 5spd and I have a wrecked 88 supra N/A 5spd sitting in my driveway. The 88 has the adjustable dampneing suspension that have switched over. I have swithed the all 4 actuators(and wiring for the rear), the computer, the switch, the relay, and the indicator in the dash, but the lights still wont come on. Is there still another sensor I am missing or what. I heard someting about a steering senssor on the column I may have to wire up. I was also wondering if I would be able to swap the motors. Anything you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

Honestly, It's not worth it.

There are speed sensors, steering sensors, braking sensors, etc. I don't recall all the methods that it modifies the TEMS with.

However, in my opinion it's just not worth it. Even with new TEMS struts I could barely feel a difference.

I agree with Jeeves here, the stock TEMS is nothing to write home about.

If you still think it might be worthwhile; I would highly reccomend you driving a Supra with working TEMS and comparing it to a Supra with new sport shocks. See waht you like.

steering is ontop of the column...it all has to come out if you want to add it. All other sensors are already in place. You might need to add a fuse. If a sensor goes wonky, you usually get an error message (flasing tems lights).
