Hey guys... Im totally new to supras, but my buddy sparked the passion within me. I just recently bought an MK3 out of florida that already had a 1jz swap. Its in need of some work because the tranny is pretty bad, and the head gasket and i thing the rear main seal is leaking too.... I plan to completely rebuild it over the year...

Here is a pic of the car. Its all i got right now.

Welcome Mr. Basil. I live about an hour and a half south of you and I own one of those weak ass'd 1jz as welll. I hope to see you around and you can pm me with any questions you may have. I also have the inside scoop on cheap labor. My neighbors are excellent mechanics if you run into anything you don't feel like tackling. See ya, Jay

And the Bama Supra group grows! Who is your friend, do we know him? If not get him on here as well. We need all the RED we can get in here to counteract the beautiful blue 1J car to the south of you. I would recommend you take Suprahero's advise and PM him with any questions you might have. He is very knowledgeable. You can also PM me with any car or interior questions. The only 1JZ I've ever seen in person is Jay's, so I can't help much there.

The Juggernaut has my old
nice car you got there.. love the color too..:biglaugh:

you could do what suprahero is doing... drop a 2jz block in with the 1jz head.. if the 1j engine is needing a rebuild.....

good luck and give us some more pics....


Jay: dont know how you feel about taking your spare out but antman had a box made to hold a speaker that fit in the spare tire well looks nice....
