    '89 Turbo Supra build

    Awesome, thanks! I've heard of them, didn't realize they did OEM replacement harnesses though. I just thought they did custom swap harnesses. Well, I have some decisions to make then. That thing is a lot higher than I thought it would be. It looks like I can get a complete JDM pullout engine...

    '89 Turbo Supra build

    Hey Guys- What are my options for getting a new engine harness? They're discontinued and not available through Toyota. Is there a reputable vendor or maybe even a member here that builds new ones or rebuilds old ones?

    '89 Turbo Supra build

    New as in has been sitting at someone's house/attic/garage since before they were discontinued. It's not new to the world but had never been used or installed... It's in perfect condition other than the few pieces that were damaged in shipment. They were all on the inside, unseen, part of it...

    Good BBQ house in Memphis?

    Yeah I forgot about Leonard's. I've never been but I remember seeing it on tv. The Memphis BBQ Co was also on diners, drives ins and dives.

    Good BBQ house in Memphis?

    FYI- If you order a BBQ (pulled pork) sandwich, it will most likely come with cole slaw on it (yes, on it!) unless you request otherwise.

    Good BBQ house in Memphis?

    Coming from Texas it's not going to be anything like what you consider good BBQ. I'm pretty close to Memphis but lived in TX until my early 20's. Memphis-style BBQ is going to be all (or mostly) pork. Don't even consider getting brisket, it will probably be terrible. With that said, there are...

    '89 Turbo Supra build

    I haven't got much done since the last update, I've really only been able to spend a few hours here and there working on it. Most vacuum lines are hooked up now, that ended up taking about 3 times as long as it should've since I didn't know where most of the lines went and where the brackets...

    Waffling...

    S2000 is a fun car to drive but I don't know how comfortable you'd be in it. The FR-S would be a similar situation as far as size goes, but I agree that it's underpowered. It's also over your budget. Put a turbo kit on it and it would be fun but you'd be close to $30k by then even if you found...

    '89 Turbo Supra build

    Thanks for pointing this out to me! I was able to pick up a console lid (mine is trashed) and a few other things recently. It's been a great help as most of this stuff it hard to find! BTW - I'm looking for a burgundy dash panel or an entire gray interior if anybody has one for sale :)

    '89 Turbo Supra build

    Got the engine and transmission in today! I had to pull the front wheels, pry the calipers loose and pull out the brake pads to get the car to roll. The brakes were completely locked up! I planned on replacing the calipers, pads and rotors anyway though so no big deal... So the drivetrain is...

    '89 Turbo Supra build

    The engine is (hopefully) getting dropped in this weekend... The rear tires were flat and had been for some time. They wouldn't hold air and were so dry rotted they wouldn't move. In order to roll it into the shop I had to go ahead and put on the rear wheels.

    '89 Turbo Supra build

    ATI Super Damper came in! It looks like it's not exactly a "bolt on" part... I'm going to have to grind down the flange on the new crank pulley bolt and also might have to have the pulley machined to fit onto the crank. It seems like some people had no problem getting theirs on and some do. Mine...

    '89 Turbo Supra build

    Oh yeah, just found out the crank pulley/balancer was bad so I had to order a new one. It looked like the pulley came loose at some point and wiggled around while the engine was running, caused the center of it to be worn out pretty bad and it has a lot of movement now when slid onto the...

    '89 Turbo Supra build

    Haven't updated in a while... No new pictures but I ended up having to helicoil ALL of the exhaust studs! Ordered lots of other random hardware, hoses and gaskets... Anyway, engine is pretty much out back together now. I have a few last minute things to put together then hopefully it will be...

    '89 Turbo Supra build

    Okay, I ended up having to use helicoils on two manifold studs. I got that part taken care of then installed the driftmotion braided oil lines for the turbo. I'm working on getting the vacuum and coolant lines bolted up to the block then the timing cover and accessories. Hopefully it will be...

    '89 Turbo Supra build

    Wheels came in, they look pretty good (especially considering the price) and are pretty light. I planned on bolting on the manifold and turbo today, hooking up the new oil lines and getting this thing ready to drop into the car... started tightening the 3rd nut on the manifold and the stud just...

    '89 Turbo Supra build

    Thanks! Well, from what I've seen the interior looks surprisingly clean. I haven't really got a good look yet believe it or not... The back hatch is full of boxes of parts from the engine. The passenger side door panel and outside handle are removed because the PO had to get a key made and the...

    '89 Turbo Supra build

    They were about $620 shipped. The center caps say Redline Wheels or something like that. I just searched for CCW on eBay and found these. They are 18x8.5 +35 and 18x9.5 +40. Hope these offsets work out ok. I see lots of guys running +20 but they have small tires with the "stretched" look...

    '89 Turbo Supra build

    Oh yeah, I'm planning on it! Forgot to mention the PO also said he put a new tank and new fuel pump in it. I planned on dropping the tank anyway to check it out and make sure everything is okay but hopefully I won't find anything like ^ that!! 😬
