This morning was the day to pull pioneer's old engine and start building an engine with forged pistons.... But before we do we had to line up both supras and take pix.

These are MKIII Revolution's demo cars.....
Mine has Ross pistons already, and Pioneer's is going in for JE pistons.... It's been raining here lately so the cars aren't the cleanest, but gives you an idea.... Pioneer's car just came out the body shop so notice the perfect paint job.

Thanks for the kind words guys. Its work in progress for the past 4 months or so collecting parts. Now that I have the body done, I'm building another engine from the ground up.

Kyle:- Those are tinted tails. I didn't know they were this dark until now, That I see them next to stock tails.

Pioneer, yur in NC? Wow! My wife and I go up to NC about once a year, Ashville...

Hey, what kind of wheels are those? How wide are they? I love that lip... I didnt think Motegi made a wide wheel though...

WoW....3.5 hours to pull & tear down!!! Thats the fastest I have seen that done since Scott Mech. Great looking Supras BTW. Pioneer, I'm also curious about your Sweet looking wheels. Would you mind sharing info on the size, offset, etc.

Well, the machine shop took 2 weeks to finish with the engine because of all that we got done to it..... and we pounced on the parts yesterday and got her running.

For the ones that don't know, this is with all new bottom end running JE pistons .20 over.
As well as a complete head job (including 3angle valve job and the whole nine).

So clean you can eat off of it. (I actually was tempted to lick them :drool: )

We're going for as close to a stock look as possible so we put the 7MGTE cover back on. Working on a shield to hide the turbo..

Many thanx
