    oil choice suggestions for rebuilt engine

    Is GC not available anymore? I found Castrol Edge 0W30 at Autozone a while back. It said on the bottle that it was formally 0W30 Syntec. It also said "European Formula" on the front and "Made In Germany" on the back. Is that not the same stuff? Sorry JD, not trying to thread jack. I saw in...

    Headlight covers!

    Just letting you know this will most likely be deleted because this is the for sale forum. I would repost or ask to be moved to MKIII general. I don't have any experience with those kits.

    Mk3 Heart-transplant or rebuild. 1JZ-GTE swap or 7M-GTE build? Help.

    I think your costs are a little overestimated for those parts. If you haven't already, check out www.driftmotion.com, a very good vendor for the Supra.

    1J is not any better than 7m. Build it right, you won't have any issues. Instead of 1J, I would consider 2J with the time and funds you have to spend on the project.

    Turbocharging your 7m would be more affordable. Both will be reliable as long as you don't cut any corners when you're building either of the engines. Basic mods should get you there such as Walboro fuel pump, 550's, lexus afm, DM57 trim, 3' exhaust, ect for 300 hpw

    Good things to look for when buying an MK3?

    And I ended up rebuilding the 7m anyway after I blew the HG even though I retorqued it.

    Good things to look for when buying an MK3?

    Honestly, I don't know as much about the single or twin setup for the 2JZ. I am still running a 7MGTE. Somebody here can give you better details on the pros and cons of each setup, but I have read in past threads that people seem to have issues with twin setups, specifically on the 1JZ. I've...

    Good things to look for when buying an MK3?

    If I had to do it again, I would: 1. Read this forum, and figure out exactly what goals and parts your are wanting for your build and create a plan 2. Find one that is not running or BHG, but has a nice shell (no dents/hail damage, rust, ect.) and R154 (Save $$$ and rebuild the engine...

    Ready for paint *updated with pics

    I ended up going with the PPG black because my friend who sprayed it has a contract with them and was able to get the paint for a discounted price. I'm not sure of the exact price for the paint itself, but it wasn't bad

    Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

    Anybody know a store online that has a large selection of hub centric rings or custom makes them for a fair price? I'm looking for 60.1 to 70.6, but I can't find anything for these exact sizes.
