That is really clean looking. What are your eventual "dream" goals with it?

Thanks for recommending that site Chambers. That is going to help out alot. So I have an update but I don't have the camera, it is my wife's camera, and she takes it with her everywhere. So when she gets home I can get my pictures off of it. I will post up the full update then. For now I will...

This build is great. I can't wait to get my 1uz up and running.

Yes I am using new piston rings...I am replacing the main bearings, rod bearings, thrust washers, piston pin bushings, piston rings, full gasket and seal set, ignition wires, distributor caps and rotors, spark plugs, water pump, timing belt kit, oil pump, possibly ignitors...when I disassemble...

Yes thank you...it turns out the one i have is for a vvti engine and they just dont match...lmao So you giving me that manual was a godsend thank you very much.

So, here is the next update. Later than I would have liked, but I have been super busy, and the weather wasn't on my side. So the first part of me being super busy, even though I am on leave is although I am on leave my job as a NCO never ends. I am still working to help my soldiers with their...

That engine looks sweet painted and ready to go in.

Thanks guys, this is really what I am looking into. I really want to get into some kind of legit racing. So this kind of stuff really helps. Thanks.

What exactly should I do to the subframe? I plan on doing a full suspension bushing replacement. Probably Energy Suspension. I am fairly certain that the coilovers are the originals from 91'...lmao. So those will definitely get replaced soon. Is the stock LSD any good? Thanks guys.

Yeah I cant wait to get this thing running. No extra goodies for now. I am just gonna get this thing running and then start working on it. Adding all my little goodies and extras that i have been looking at. Wheels maybe a body kit...although i am seriously considering leaving the body mostly...

From my research it will be at least 140 lbs lighter in the end

Thanks guys, I am so glad that so many people are on-board. I was really expecting a little hate for it. It's just that there are so many JZ swaps and I wanted something...not totally unique, but definitely uncommon. On top of that, I just LOVE the 1uz...it is so amazing. Plus I love the MKIII...

Yeah, that kit is the one from Thailand. So no new updates yet, except for more packages. I would say sadly work is taking up alot of time, however, the time they are taking now is all finishing up last minute stuff so that I can go on leave.

I actually found another kit that has a custom bellhousing...it is slightly cheaper than the QA kit and there is no modification to the bellhousing afterward...plus since i dont have the 1uz bellhousing i would have to spend even more to get that first...so i am going to buy the...

I hope not, I was building my truck when I got the 1UZ bug and so I bought one for the truck but I had to put that project on hold and I needed an engine, so the 1UZ looks as good as any...lmao

I actually have been looking into it, I think I am going to relocate as much of the wiring as possible. I want to move the battery to the rear somewhere, and stuff like that, the problem is that I need to have the engine up and running ASAP, so I can't do anything that will take too much time...

That is actually want I want to do, I absolutely hate the clutter in the engine bays...

Okay progress report. I only spent a few hours on sunday working on it. I spent most of the day with the family. As much as I want to work on the car all the time. My family is a priority, I mean I did just get home from Afghanistan two weeks ago. So anyway, after the work I did on Saturday...

Hello everyone, So my name is Sean, I am a soldier in the US Army, a mechanic, stationed in Fort Bragg, NC. I bought a 91' Toyota Supra Turbo MKIII, it is white with blue interior. When I bought it, it had around 280K on it, and he said that it was rebuilt about 30K ago. The PS pump belt was...

I really wish it would be but sadly I won't have the money to finish it that quickly. I am looking at around 1500 before I can finish it. However, I am gonna try to sell off the good parts of the 7M to pay for it. I am sure plenty of people will want the good stuff.
