    I bought some lowering springs for my Supra

    Just have to pull the fender liner in the front and loosen the mounting bolts for the washer reservoir to make room to slide that big ass bolt out. lol

    New 5th gear for the R154 - how about a taller overdrive?

    I know. I'm just chomping at the bit here and would love to have one of these before it's time to put my engine back in. If that doesn't happen, it's no big deal though. I'll just put it back in as is and pull it back out later. :) Collin

    New 5th gear for the R154 - how about a taller overdrive?

    Hey, my Supra is currently in pieces (not even a subframe under the front...) and I've got a nice little R154 sitting on a table that could really use a rebuild and a taller overdrive. I'd be more than happy to do that testing you require. :D *waiting intently for a price and your paypal...

    problem starting, starter is fine

    Am I really the first one to suggest that the worn out factory theft deterrent might be causing this? The ground circuit for the starter relay is switched by the alarm box. This switch wears out and the ground isn't made and the car won't start. Search for factory alarm bypass. Its been...

    New to MKIII's and need help getting coilovers

    Yup, 87-92 is all MKIII's. Just think of the 86.5 as a very early 87.

    electrical problems

    Glad you got it figured out. You got lucky if that as the only damage.

    powder coat brake booster ?

    LOL I didn't think of that... Keep the fluid in the reservoir? :D

    powder coat brake booster ?

    Rustoleum hammered finish FTW if it's a part that can't be powdercoated.

    My 2JZ powered 86.5 restoration and buildup - Project: "I drive it to the track V2.0"

    3 Reasons. 1. I live in CA and this engine is legal. My Aristo 2JZ was nowhere near it. 2. I was lucky to get > 20mpg with my GTE. It got 22-23 a few times down the freeway. If my 7M-GE could get 29mpg, then this engine should be able to do at least that with the considerably high c/r and...

    My 2JZ powered 86.5 restoration and buildup - Project: "I drive it to the track V2.0"

    Some of you may have followed my previous build with my 2JZ-GTE swapped '91 Turbo Targa. I had to pull the engine back out to make some repairs, and I decided to part it out and do something different. Round 2: Got myself an 86.5 NA hardtop sport package, less weight, stiffer chassis, and a...

    R154 pops out of 5th gear

    Yeah, forgot about those haha. It's been a few years since the last manual trans rebuild I did. Definately check the detents! Make sure the ball and spring are still there and that the spring isn't broken. Mileage doesn't really matter if the trans has been abused or run low on oil, same as...

    R154 pops out of 5th gear

    Worn teeth on the sychro hub will cause this, or maybe a thrust washer. It's probably worn out syncros. Get a full rebuild kit from driftmotion, snce it's already apart.

    A/C upgrades (R134) - Operation Chill

    Nope, used the Aristo 2JZ compressor with the 7M top plate and lines. The P/S bracket had to be notched slightly to clear the lines, but it worked out very well.

    A/C upgrades (R134) - Operation Chill

    I put the A/C back into my 2JZ 91T with all stock components other than the Aristo compressor and a new reciever/drier unit. It blew REAL cold with R134a. I'll be doing the same thing with my new car and my new 2JZ and the same compressor. Collin

    Supra aero (body kit)

    More lips. Definately more pre-89 lips. Nice flowing and good fitting fender flares would be good too. None of those body kits really look that great, but if I had to pick one, it would be this one with enough room at the top to retain the crash bar (I don't have a death wish for my car.)...

    Milo's Booster Seat...

    Holy dead thread resurrection! ;) lol

    where does it all go?

    Plugs will have a buildup from the oil. Rings usually means complete engine rebuild.

    where does it all go?

    With that many miles it probably has bad rings. My 88 NA had bad rings and burned a qt of oil every 100 miles. It sat for 3yrs with a blown head gasket before I bought it and fixed it.

    autometer egt gauge

    I have one too and I agree with this 100%. I was going to suggest the signal wires grounding or another wiring/insulation issue. Collin
