Thanks guys, I am having a lot of fun with this one. I still need to figure out what I am gonna due for a 'ghetto' exhaust. Trying to do this on a budget. I think I am succeding. Got a total of about 500 or so in it now. Most of the parts were either free or junkyard cheapies. I think the...

Okay, I had thanksgiving weekend off, so I got some time to do some stuff on the supra. First off, I got the bumper fitted and in place. I still need to do some work on the passenger's fender so that side is not complete. I did get the new marker and turn signal light installed on the...

I just took my leather boot off, BINGO!!! cheesy 80s rubber boot underneath! I don't know if my supra is special or what. It is a bit noisier, but that is due to the collector ending right at the shifter location and no mufflers:icon_razz

Sorry, I defer to the older guys, I was thinking 6M and 7M cranks, which can be interchanged, right? I don't know, too much work and not enough sleep right now. It is my friday though, got all of Thanksgiving holiday off. Well, not really, I have to come in and fly in the chopper for the...

I buried the needle on my first 77 celica many times. I don't think it was fast, but in that car it felt pretty scary!!!

Gotta remember what my mechanic told me. I bought my 1977 RA29 from him. I believe that the head from the 7M will fit on the 5M block. This helps three ways, it will let you keep your legal block, ups your displacement to a true 3 liters and gives you the better cams and heads. I think also...

I have searched and even read the 2jzgte swap thread. I am wondering about dropping an N/A 2jz out of an SC300. The local junkyards seem to have a never ending supply of the SC300s with 2jzs. Next time they run one of the their 100$ engine weekends I am thinking of picking one up. I am...

Thanks, I will start looking for some.

How hard is the LED mod. I keep seeing everyone doing it and I like the blue lights. Thought I might do it when I have my dash out to fix the exact same coolant leak as you. I thought I might just sweat a new copper pipe on instead of brazing. After redoing most of the plumbing in my house...

Here in Oklahoma I mostly see hardtops, few if any turbos. Most are hardtop, auto, N/A. I have seen a white 88 N/A hardtop. The last time I saw it was on the side of I40 with a trooper behind with his lights on:nono: After driving mine, I am afraid I may spend most of the time in my car in...

I am waiting to replace the passenger's door until I have the fender beat out a little more. I worked at it with a dull chisel and a rubber mallet. The rear of the fender is creased from where the door was binding on it. Don't worry, I know what I am doing. I have done quite a bit of body...

Seats are from an 86 Celica GTS. It kind of surprised me when I opened the door at the junkyard only to stare down at a miniture supra interior. I love that Toyota used as many common parts as possible. The steering column surround, stereo, front seats, rear seats, interior door handles, lock...

Okay, saved this one from the crusher for 200$. Not much to look at and the interior is/was pretty ratty. The car did not start. I had oil on top of the spark plugs. I Fixed it nice and quick and got new plugs and wires. She fired right up. I hadn't figured out some way to get the...

That fairlane is SICK!! I always liked those two years the best. I think you need to paint it like Mario Andretti's stock car. Blue body, red uppers and gold roof. The choice of wheels is good to. I love that you call it the Poopra:icon_razz If you are looking for an LSD, there are a...

Thanks, these old toyotas are nothing if not reliable and addicting. I have been deciding whether or not to get another supra. Possibly to rebuild or just for spares. Since buying the '76 6 months or so ago, we have added two MA64s, the supra, a '93 corolica and an 85 camry to the herd. Once...

87 N/A 5 spd. 200$ 20$ in plugs and wires and she started right up. Bought another 150$ in random parts to get her looking good. Here she is the day I dragged her home. Still haven't gotten the time to add all the 'cleaning up' parts, so she actually looks a bit worse.:nono:

New to here, but not new to the internet forums stuff. I am on a bunch of the other supra boards and some of the old school toyota boards. Here is my story... Story starts out with this 76 RA29 I fancied dropping a 7M into it. Easier and cheaper than the 1JZ as the 7M is almost a...
