There's also a white 89+ that blows a drift right after that (3:55)

Nice progress, I can't wait to see the Jr dyno...

Happy B-day Tanya

Sounds like you aggravated the situation. I've been there when I was younger (giving the bird), and I ultimately had a similar experience (broken window). With all the crazy shit that happens these days, just let it roll off. Two cliche's come to mind: Pick your battles Don't expect to...

wow, mk1's that clean are hard to come by! Nice car, looking forward to the build

just get a cheap beater for daily driver.

Meh, its hard to say from that ad. No idea how many miles, what type of HG it has, etc. I think this would probably be a better car if you could work out a deal with the owner and arrange to fly-in/drive back: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=102657 link is broken...

Yeah, like I mentioned in my ninja-edit, keep saving and expand your search radius if you have to. You'll generally find the cheapest (and most beat-up) cars on regional craigslists. You can find some pretty decent already well-built cars in the forsale section here -- though they generally...

$500-$5000 depending on how thorough your swap and how new the parts. When I swapped my silver car from auto to r154, it cost me ~$1300 doing it myself and using a new spec stage 3 clutch + al flywheel. I'd been wanting to do the swap for years and happened upon a barely running 88T 5spd for...

w58 not w158 -- sorry

http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/ will be your friend. Sounds like TPS is out of adjustment, but check the codes too

A lot of the old "muscle cars" will run 14-16 sec 1/4 miles too -- they really weren't that fast, just were considered fast at a time when 20sec 1/4 mile times were the norm... The MK3 wasn't designed to be a racecar. It was Toyota's flagship, showcasing the latest/greatest Japanese technology...

The 2nd one is better, but still I'd pass. "some assembly required" = not for you (no offense, but if you're asking you're better off waiting for a driver). Plus its had a new front clip put on and has a salvage title. I don't care if he says its never been in an accident -- I don't believe...

Please re-read 3b and 3c:

Basically start here: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=AT&P=1 But a few more thoughts: Check for play in the carrier bearing/ujoints and in the differential. They can aggravate a harsh engagement by allowing the transmission/driveshaft to build up even more...

My first MK3 (87t) was a Canadian car. According to the Carfax, it was brought into the US in 1989 and registered in NY before making its way across country and being sold to me in CA in '97. I got a great deal on it too because people saw 130,000 "miles" on the odometer and thought the guy...

If you get those from RHDjapan, please measure before/after steering angle -- I'd be interested if they work :)

~$2800 list, ~$2400 from Champion for GTE (The GE shortblock lists for $5000 and sells for ~$3900)

The R154 I bought from a junkyard years ago had been sitting like that for who knows how long. It shifted fine, but I could see how it could be knocked over quite easily and cause some damage...

If you can swap a 5spd in the mk2, that high-comp 7mge should make it quite a quick ride...
