From the rivets, it looks like a homegrown ducktail. Not a fan of riveting a MK3... but the ducktail does have a certain appeal.

Short block arrived yesterday... hoping to see my car before Christmas now.. lol.

lol.. nice one. Your engine is pure sex so far

I do a ton of cross border shipping (from US to Canada). Anytime I use USPS.. free... anytime I use UPS.. minimum 60.00 fee. I always ask my shipper to use USPS.. and if they use UPS.. I decline the purchase, unless USPS cant ship due to size. My bodykit from Shine Auto cost me about 8 hours of...

I have yet to understand why our headgaskets have the exhaust side water jacket ports correct, but they dont use a single port for the intake side. Wouldn't that make it stronger?

Where did you get that front bumper? Looks like the Greddy Gracer (original)... really nice fitment

In the Toyotaverse.... I bought 17 bolts for 75.00... Meanwhile... Toyota's board members sit chuckling at the table.. as they relate how much those idiot North American devils paid for a bolt. I believe it is a contest... no winner announced yet...

I think Suprastore can get you one. I just bought a short block (polished rods, Wiseco pistons and rings, polished crank, shimmed brand new oil pump) for about 2400 + shipping out of Ontario Canada. (I trust the builder) They exist, but aren't exactly cheap. I think that Kaizen Motorsports...

Yep.. huge old time bump, but... I heard that you should circumvent the fuel pump Control Relay (the one on the passenger strut tower) by cutting and connecting the 2 fat wires on the plug side to give a continuous 12V or 14V (?) feed. Apparently we have voltage modulation in the MK3 for the...

Well.. Short block is built... 2900.00 (includes shipping) with wiseco pistons and rings. Spec2+ clutch and new upper timing cover. All the pieces are bought, so expecting to see my Supra again first week of December. A bit excited. ... a lot broke...

Thanks, will try that. I am pretty sure I can access the motor by just taking off the glove compartment. The climate control seems to be working fine. Funny how the LEDs on my dash are weak compared to my 88. If I don't sell this car I am going to have to deal with those...

There are two things I hate about my iphone... one... the auto correcd feature... (which I am afraid of turning off because it looks like more work if I do) and the fact I feel naked if its not in my hand...

Before I start tear down and the hunt for the fault, is the blower motor easily accessible or will the entire dash have to come apart? (just need to know so I can situate the car in the right spot depending on what I am going to have to do. As a note, I replaced the battery this month, and then...

Fan doesn't run period. The switches light up but the fan doesn't run, when I start the engine the lights go out on the climate control. I will try the replacement... Mine is metric and the replacement is in F.. But I grew up with imperial..

Something odd happened yesterday and I'm wondering if its going to be very hard to troubleshoot. When I I turn on my ignition the temp control lights are bright, but when the engine starts, the climate control lights get very dim and the fan has stopped blowing. Dead blower motor? Fuse is fine...

The first vid on the other page probably defines what most of us have in mind when we buy a Mk3... lol

I think the first VVT-i was 91 in Japan... not sure though... its what I was going to do with my engine, but I had already torn the engine apart when I found out my 7M was going to die... so I had to stick to the 7M platform (basically timing and finance). Basically, it justvaries the timing of...

Your in Florida.. so its not a real necessity, but if you do redo the dash (the 89 step procedure) replace the heater core "O-rings" and check the core closely. Its truly a pain in the ass to get at later. Also, if you yank the engine.. paint the bay. Dont cut corners. It sounds like you...

I dont think there's any possibility for a freeze plug to cause any of those issues is there? I know I removed my block heater because (a) I dont drive in winter and (b) it is just something to eventually disintegrate and cause issues... My only issue with the machine shop saying "usually we...

thats kind of what just happened to me. Wanted to fix a "smoke" issue... and ended up replacing the engine due to things done wrong on the build. (kept the head.. shortblock wasn't worth rebuilding).
