Yea msd wires will happen eventually. And yea, it truly is an ungodly amount of junk packed in these engine bays.

You are epic! Thats perfect for my ideas. Gonna use the wheels for eyeballs, and housings for ears.

Hey guys, I'm looking for anyone who has pictures of the engine and turbo internals from a 7M. I'm trying to design a skull and crossbones tattoo for myself, but using only 7M parts to make up the actual design. So far I have the crossbones figured out with pistons and rods connected where the...

So I got her running Thursday for the first time in the year I've owned her. Changed oil Friday, bled my P/S pump. On the downside I found a small oil leak at the oil filter and a small coolant leak on the neck. First start video: http://youtu.be/WOPdO2xxwe0

So another update, finished replacing the gasket and assembling the manifolds, but I still have the same leak in the same place where the plenum meets the lower mani, smoke Testing shows leaks across the whole manifold from the bottom. Any ideas, warped manifolds?

So its been a while, but I have finally located the problem. I decided to smoke the intake system for vac and air leaks, found a huge leak where the upper and lower manifolds mate. Upon disassembly, I found that my local dealer (Victory Toyota in Seaside, CA), neglected to reassemble the car...

Hey guys, finally time to work on it and update. ISCV check valve was installed properly, VAC testing showed 20" at 1000rpm right before it stalls. Fuel pressure reads 39-40psi, used an analog gauge. So far, no further progress on making her run. Testing led me in a circle today back to A/F...

Wow guys, thanks for all the input. From the sounds of it, headlight aim and a rear foglight seem like tiny issues to deal with in the grand scheme of importing, and registering a US spec car overseas. The only other concern I have would be emissions systems. As of now, I can probably pass a...

I personally set and triple checked the TPS, set as per spec. No i did not remove the j-tube. I do have the aeromotive AFPR in the trunk, but for CA smog purposes its not installed yet. If worst comes to worst I'll take smog concerns away and deal with it after I get her running.

Timing is arguable. It was set before. So full work history, Should have included earlier. In June the motor would idle but would not rev (at my local Toyota Dealer). After having the engine harness rebuilt, new AFM, new FPR, new fuel damper, replaced cracked fuel supply hardline, cam and...

So I finally finished assembling my motor and everything and she wont idle at all. The engine revs fine and if you keep it above 1000rpm will run, but drop below 1000rpm and it stutters and dies. Occasionally a puff of black (gas) smoke. Ive been banging my head on this no idle for months now...

I'm in the process of stripping one now. My only concern is the body. I would hate to see it crushed.

Yes, I should have mentioned amsterdam. The big thing for me, the cost I've put into my mk3 cant be recovered in a sale. Plus LHD in GB could be fun.

I have begun considering moving out of Monterey here, and thinking about going towards Europe. I was just wondering if anyone had any experience importing a vehicle to Europe, GB or germany in particular. Anything I would have to modify, replace etc? Ps. I would want to bring my mk3.

So finally time for an update. As for the turbo, yes it has the 57trim from DM. 1mm OS valves, full 3" exhaust. On the down side, she won't run. She revs fine but idling is impossible. More updates when I get it going.

Think I may have, under the same name. I'm not a very active forum member, post wise. Tend to read and learn mostly.

Hey all, just a quick post of my now almost completed build. Hopefully 2 more weeks, than on the road for the first in 4 years for this supra. I bought the car dead with a BHG, rat damage, spiders everywhere. First thing I saw when I popped the hood was 3 Black widows hanging out on the P/S pump...

Hey guys, Ive been poking around a little bit here and there learning the forum and finding some incredible knowledge for my head rebuild. I have just got my first supra almost ready to run and the top end rebuilt. Thought I would drop in and introduce myself before I got too deep into everything.
