My 90 Supra: $540 in 20's hidden underneath the blank space under the radio A work I.D. card for somebody named "Bubba"

WTF is a prawn, a crawfish? Edit: Just got on wikipedia, never realized there was a species so close to shrimp.

Apparently that lady has missed the point of an all-you-can-eat buffet is. You can go in and eat as much as you can of whatever you want. There was this fabulous buffet in Reading, PA. They had an amazing sushi bar, short order chefs and tons and tons of chinese food and whatever else you can...

They're seriously taking over my shop, I should make a building out of 1uz's and NA 2j's. Anybody who wants to drive is more than free to come pick one up for cheap in North Texas. Going rate seems to be $500 at ABSOLUTE max everywhere I've seen, you can probably pick one up for $300 within a...

A bolt and a washer will work just fine.

I just read this whole thread and here are my thoughts: 1. Electric fans suck balls if you're in any kind of warm climate, I haven't seen anything that tops the stock clutch fan. If you run a DECENT electric fan then you have to upgrade your alternator and pray that you don't get stuck in stop...

The easysee bixenon kits have their own fuseholders and relay box and only use the factory headlight harness for signal wires. HID's actually use less current than the factory headlight bulbs, so it shouldn't be an issue either way. What brand HID kit are you installing? Sean, I've still...

Man, you know it's a great community when somebody gives up their spare nut to help a brother out. Yay supramania. *hugs*

Nice work Ian! I love the fact that it's sitting on the "Smart Aluminum" calendar.

If I'm not mistaken I've seen manifolds for the Mk4 made by that same company where the casting was made with terribly contaminated metal. Even after polishing you could still see voids in the metal. It does look nice, but I'd hesitate to spend that kind of cash with an overseas company with no...

Definitely a dealer only item, hop on supraforums and get a quote from one of the sponsors there.

I've been itching to swap a 1uz into an AE86 for a little while now. I hope you're getting an earlier 1uz, they cheaped out on the connecting rods on the later engines and they didn't tend to like boost so much.

I've made a rule that I can't make fun of it if it's faster than my car, so I'll hold my comments on this one.

I cracked ringlands on a couple of cheapie cast aftermarket pistons. Not sure what the exact cause was, not a lot of signs of detonation elsewhere.

I was really thinking hard about it until I came across the built shortblock, then decided to build the 7M I've always wanted. So many 1jz's out there, it's hard to do anything different. I'll be 10 times more different for actually having a well built 7M with all the details.

Got any pictures of your turbo setup in progress? What exhaust manifold is that?

Mine has no motor, so it's easier to push, but Ben played football, so he's got the manpower advantage. I may pull him on the top end, but it'd be a close race. We'd have to go from a roll because there's no way I could get that car moving by myself.

Overall plans are probably a Borg Warner S364 or S366, looking for 500ish on pump gas. Probably will end up with an AEM, new engine harness, ZWMotorsports manifold/downpipe/midpipe with a Tial 44mm wastegate. I'll be doing a custom 4 inch thick front mount setup with 3 inch piping and most...

The motor consists of the following so far: JE Pistons, stock compression .030 over, Crower Rods, New Aisin oil pump, Brand new toyota pan (I'll add some extension to the sump for more capacity and baffling), deburred block, etc. I'm having Erin Carpenter build a cylinder head for me with...

I was kicking a bunch of my crap around the shop today and realized that maybe starting a build thread would help me get motivated to get rolling on my Supra. I'm mainly going to use this thread to dump pictures and information in for myself and for reference, but feel free to chime in with...
