    Sweet! Thanks! Just found out it's got a leaky crank seal...wonder if that's my low idle oil pressure issue...

    Suprahooked's Pearl White Build Thread

    Freakin' sweet set of Volks there. On a white car, those are going to fit perfect. Great choice.

    Took a few more today: There are no good places to shoot at in this town...

    probably 2JZ if it turns out to be more than just low idle oil pressure in the 7M...if i'm going to drop some mad cash in a motor, might as well right?

    Sure does...but not so great now that i think i hear rod knock on this tired motor...:nono: It feels like i'm just digging a hole deeper and deeper with this thing.

    Lol...thanks guys. I'm waiting on a better camera to do a full shoot with. Zavs, i actually took it out to the Pioneer/360 meet last night. It was kind of damp, but it was alright. And I think these wheels make the car. Matt's kicking himself in in the ass right now for not getting his car...

    Not so good vibrations...

    It's a stick. I haven't tried that yet, but i do it tonight and see what the results are. And yes, i've taken the front wheels on and off many times and made sure they are snug. I did however notice this: when i jacked the car up and took off the wheels once, i could grab the front assembly...

    Not so good vibrations...

    lol...it's actually helped me quite a bit...but now that i have that link, i probably won't need it anymore. The thing is, these wheels/tires were on basically the exact same car and it was fine. I also just had them balanced, so i'm not sure if they're the source of the problem any longer...

    Aftermarket exhausts, what's it condition now?

    3" coated DP, with full 3" stainless pipe almost straight back to an HKS Dragger muffler. Sounds perfect, save for a little rash underneath, it's in great shape. It's been used for over 4-5 years i'm sure.

    Not so good vibrations...

    I double checked the bolts for the front suspension and they were all tight. I've had drive shaft vibration before in my Mustang, and it feels quite different. It's actually more towards a shaking than a vibration in nature. I'm suspecting bad wheel bearings...which i've read can't be replaced...

    Not so good vibrations...

    The RPM's actually make no difference. I could let it idle at speed and it would still make the same vibration. It's most pronounced between 55-65 mph.

    Not so good vibrations...

    Strange. The drive train is completely stock here save for a shortened shifter. I'm REALLY hoping it's a simple bushing replacement that's easy to swap out...

    Not so good vibrations...

    :3d_frown: Well, today didn't go quite as planned...After the car got out of the booth last week, we swapped over the suspension (stock struts with H&R springs...obviously not the right way to go) wheels and exhaust from the loaner Supra is was borrowing. Even though it was in rough shape, it...

    That's what i figured as soon as i posted that. 5 min. fix. csnow: Sure didn't. We pulled a few trim pieces off, but overall, everything stayed. And you can't tell the difference. It's really amazing.

    Jo3f1sh's semi-build...

    Small update: The car is out, but mssing a few trim pieces. Once it's completely done, i'll be taking pics. On another note, i just experienced what a boost leak feels like on this thing. OMG. I lost a clamp on the intake side of the intecooler and i almost thought i had just thrown a rod...

    Bigzavs - Yep it sure is. That freeze plug is still leaking. I spend more on coolant to keep this thing going than i do gas for it...oh and it no longer has the front bumper. It was torn off by a Dodge Ram... I couldn't believe the price for the paint, but having to wait three months for a...

    Jo3f1sh's semi-build...

    As rare as it may have been, it was in terrible condition and the drivers door was beyond repair...the way i figured, even if i had repainted it Teal, it wouldn't have been the original paint anyhow, so what not go black? And i got a pretty good deal on it considering all that was done: Full 3...

    There'll be a full shoot of the car once it fully out. I actually got to drive it tonight, though...about 100 meters...to another shop where she currently sleeps. BUT, Saturday is the day the magic happens...Wheels, suspension, exhaust all going on. I'm stoked. Thanks for the compliments, guys!
