Nice build... What is the brand/model of the valve spring remover/installer? Is it the Blue Point GA318A or the GA317 or neither?

Some helpful info on alternators - in case it is your alternator that is failing http://homepage.ntlworld.com/william.whittaker1/alt2.htm

Is there a reason why mkIIItech is down...could someone page the doctor.

Yesterday I checked my front suspension and I noticed that one or two of my camber plates is bent/flattened out of shape. Can we actually buy new camber plates to weld on? or do you have to take them off another supra and weld them on? I've managed to bend one back into shape...but it's still...

i got the original screws and an old valve cover gasket with the grey silicone stuff all around it - no leaks.

Probably need to check valve lash

"They have a 975-1, 975-12, 975-16" The number following the 975-XX is the number of springs that come with that order. is the code the same as the part number?

valve stem seals?

Maybe your electric fan isn't pulling enough air through. Do your condenser fans that turn on with the AC? I would also recommend replacing your thermostat and radiator cap. Cheap insurance.

Just to clarify....so the price for 12 springs is $31.99?

I got the 2.5 piping cause at the time that was all that was available...the reason was my old exhaust was all rusted out and when I hit a speed bump it broke off so I had to get a quick replacement. hehe... the NSX is way out of my reach.

I went to watch some racing a week ago. I drove over there in my supra (89T with intake and 2.5 piping exhaust). There was this NX2000 that wanted to race my car, but I wasn't up for it....so I lent my friend my car. Both cars took off pretty even, but in the end the NX pulled ahead I think...

Finally after a month of doing nothing....i checked my error codes. I get code 14 and code 21. CODE 21 = Oxygen Sensor which i probably just need to replace. CODE 14 is the ignition system. So from here what should I check? If my CPS wires seem to have been soldered could that cause the error...

Haven't had a chance to check the car out...it's actually at the mechanics right now. Would dirty injectors cause the tach to jump around then?
