    Well, I guess that does it!! Looks like I'll be running stock fuel/electronics until I can afford a standalone w/ tune =D.

    LOL. I could do that, but they got the opener as a present over the holidays. Besides, I'm not one to break anything intentionally... though I gotta admit, I liked it when the garage had to be opened by hand, never a complaint about the Supra on stilts. *sigh... It's ok though, I'm a Marine, I...

    Yeah... it just sucks... I can't figure out a way around how tight money is. Maybe if I can start selling artwork or something... I can crank out good drawrings pretty well once I hit my stride. It's a two car garage that they "never use anyways". I gave them fair warning and made sure they...

    I'm really starting to get fed up with this shit. Roommates complain that my Supra is hogging the garage, and when I try to get parts to have her running ASAP, they complain when rent is late. FFS. I only make so much money, I go to school fulltime on a campus that is over half an hour away, I'm...

    Hi welcome to SM!! LOL yes partly because an auto is faster in a straight line when compared to a similarly built manual, but mostly because my Supra will be my DD once again when she runs (the sc will take over as project car), and Austin traffic is not conducive for manuals LOL. In the future...

    yah man, if you got a buddy who can get it out and hold it for you, that'd be awesome, I hate to see someone leave the Supra game after so much effort.

    cuz I can't move the subframe since I don't want to disconnect the brake lines. It's hard to get to the lower control arm bushings under the subframe under the car lol.

    88 Blue Turbo restoration/upgrade story

    So I realized I can't actually move my subframe very much after taking it off since I don't want to disconnect my brake lines. I managed to disconnect everything else and have soaked the subframe bolts with WD-40 to ease the removal. Also removed my swaybar and realized that my poly urethane...

    Alright.... guess I'll have to find better fittings lol!! Currently having trouble getting the power steering pulley off my old PS pump... and I discovered that my new rebuilt PS pump is all rusted underneath the paint -_-. So I stripped the paint and am currently waiting on the rust converter...
