    Properly swap a V160 6 speed transmission into A70 Supra.

    Properly swap a V160 6 speed transmission into A70 Supra.

    Bolt on Big Brake Kit For around 300$.

    Do you have ABS? One of my side projects is to make a handheld box to actuate the ABS system during brake bleeding. Similar to the old factory SST worked. The only other way to actuate the solenoids and pumps in the ABS unit would be to perform a hard stop somewhere on a loose surface. You may...

    Properly swap a V160 6 speed transmission into A70 Supra.

    Broken oil pump drive pulley, help

    Take some macro photos of the spokes and center. Will be pretty easy to determine failure mode. Likely cyclic stress crack propagation.

    7mgte to 7mge conversion.

    Why do you continue to state incorrect information when you clearly have not done enough research? Intake camshafts are not the same. Compression ratio is not the same. Different pistons. Engine control computers are not the same. Knock Sensor(s) Oil Pump Oil Squirters Oil Return ISCV
