Thats right, Washington is the place to be for supra owners!!! (Hey nate, when are you gonna give me a ride in your car? I'll buy you lunch =P) Your car looks fantastic! Really loving that bumper, Is it flexible at all? Or will it crack easy? I think it looks better without the fogs than...

^ Do it if Cryslash doesnt!!!!

If you're still talking about the hood, unless you aren't trying to match the rest of the body, I imagine it being impossible to get an identical color, and finish, going from an anodized piece, right next to a painted one! I definitely agree you should focus on other items, i think an aluminum...

Since it's already been resurrected, I'll add that Tom has already relocated his coilpacks to the firewall, and it looks great! Cleans up the bay a lot!

For a new gasket, (cometic specifically) Is the viton coating better than the copper spray or brake quiet? Or should i remove it and go with one of those to seal it real right? I've been planning on installing it dry

I think this thread deserves an update! The car is running, and feels strong! Now kyle really needs to do something about that damn turbo elbow! We've also re-torqued his headbolts, and burped his cooling system (as well as we could without waking more than 1 neighbor at almost 4am!) So Kyle...

Eeew, that stuff is horrible My sister brought some back, when she used to live in Australia. You crazy Aussies!!!

Thanks for the comments :) The machine work alone has cost me just shy of 2k, yes i did pull and tear down the motor myself, i have no prior experience, other than always being the person that fixes things on my (and friends) cars. This is the first major repair i've attempted. Even if you...

Hehe, i have the battery in my n/a wedged in with a empty bottle of royal purple on each side, it actually works awesome!

Hehe good point, thanks!

Nice, thanks for the example :) Anyway i can have the underscore included? just like my SN, Jaguar_5! Sending paypal...

*Applause* Well said!

If It'll break, leave it to IJ to find the weak point!

Hehehe thats funny I know where my turbo is, in my garage in a box next to my painted front plate and a red (not from paint) exhaust manifold :)

But (apart from what Jdub said) you cannot prep for a MHG and not take any material off, even with your sanding method you still took material off! And then you took even more off with getting the head shaved. Sorry but just because you've gone through the process, doesn't mean you did it...

^^ Listen to this guy!!! Everything in that post is crucial. Before jdub responded, i was gonna lash some of you guys, How are you going to go and recommend a thickness for someone elses motor, when you have no idea if it needs a 3mm!!! I know it's good intentions answering this guys...

I'll take the white =P Unless we have a bunch of orders, then i'd get 5 or more silvers @ 2.00

Looks good man! Can't wait to see it on your car! Btw, told you ya should've re-torqued! Haha, a new oem hg, and some ARP's will do ya good for what that turbo can put out! I've got airtools to speed the job up! Just let me know in advance so i can ensure i don't work

Hehehe, i think i'd rather put it on my car ;)

Pull the engine Take everything apart Take the block, front plate, pistons, rods, crank and head to a machine shop I'd get the head rebuilt, make sure they can deck it to at least a 50RA for a Cometic MHG or even less for other MHG's, do the same to the block, always take off as little material...
