+1 If he did sell it, how long before he regrets it and gets into another one. I'm on my second MKIII and I know others out there have had multiple ones over the years, too.

I'm in Dallas. I'm not sure what condition the old engine is really in. It was in the car when I bought it with 188k on the odometer. The previous owner replaced the HG but based on other "repairs" I've found, not sure he did a good job. Within a 1,000 of me buying it, it developed bad rod...

If you're looking to go 2JZ, why even bother with the 7M? Building it up to sell it probably won't be a smart move as you'll never get out what you put into it. I bought a rebuilt 7M with forged bottom end and HKS metal head gasket for $750. Eagle Rods alone were about $500...I never could've...

I agree, your picture pushed me to do the foglight mod on my car this past weekend.

Finally got the suspension done and got rid of the terrible wheel gap in the front. I was going to try to hold out for Illumina II's, but I found a sweet deal on some Tein Street Advance coilovers instead.

Here are a few photos of the amp. The last one is really dark, but it was the only way I could get a picture of the part number on the foil sticker. When I got the car, there was no radio at all. So, I had Best Buy install a JVC head unit. The guy there said that the car had a factory amp (I...

Here's a picture from my 92 of the factory component speakers in the front doors. There's also an amp under the passenger seat, but is apparently non-functional. I haven't taken it out or tinkered with it yet. I'm sure a newer aftermarket one would be light years ahead of the factory one from...

@chevyguyjoe, You probably have just the stock injectors. Yes, I've met Christian before. I was going to have him do some work on my car a few months ago, but I couldn't get in touch with him and was told by other locals that he wasn't working on cars anymore. For a long time, he was the go to...

Yes VSV is Vacuum Switching Valve. It allows the coolant mix to go into/bypass the heater core.

Like MK3pizzadriver says, you might need different lug nuts with your wheels. My car came with a set of 18x10 wheels in the back and the lug nuts were holding on by just a few threads. Two or three turns of the wrench and they were "tight". I bought some Gorilla extended shank lug nuts and got...

It's the VSV assy for the Heater Core. See #87240 on http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/EPC/291420/catalog.aspx?F=8716&P=1 This mounts up on the firewall by the charcoal canister. Looking at your engine bay pic, it looks like the bolts for it are threaded into the firewall.

Can you see what color the injectors are? The stock 440's are black, but some of the Denso 550's can be purple or some other color and plug right into the factory harness. Has there been any modification to the injector clips? Some 550's (like RC's) use different plugs and require cutting and...

My turbo started to get the death whine on Thanksgiving. I had to refrain from Black Friday deals so I could get my turbo rebuilt...Priorities... I just got it put back in today. Next week comes the new suspension. No more 4x4! :icon_bigg

My car came with a 60-1 Trim CT-26. I think I'm getting the death whine now and have a little more up and down shaft play than I think it should. Boost leak test found nothing and I only get the high pitched metal on metal noise as boost is trying to build. I get no more than about 2.5 psi if I...

At idle, my vacuum gauge reads about -16-18inhg on my 7m. -20 should not be a problem. Does the car run better than when you showed -10 at idle? Did you have a massive vacuum/boost leak that was fixed? What did you do that suddenly caused the change?

So I went back through all my work and all the wiring seemed to check out, acccording to the TSRM and TEWD. I still could not get the HT circuit working and normal AFR's unless I turned the car off and back on. According to the TEWD, the AFM is one of the input signals for the HT circuit. I...

I took a couple minutes just to check THW and got 1.3 volts. I unplugged the sensor and got 4.97v and code 22. I must have had the plug connected when I checked last time. When I have time this weekend, I'm going to check current in the heater signal and try to figure out why it doesn't seem to...

I agree that the 4.97 volts didn't seem right, but when I started the car, voltage dropped. I'm going to go back and check my work. I'm thinking maybe in all my testing, the plug wasn't reconnected to the sensor. As far as the heater signal, I will check the current and see what I find. Does...
