    Project-saving the supra

    Yup I remember when I bought mine a year ago. Make sure you do your research and listen to the people on here. I wish I had. Knowing a year ago what I know now I could have spent about half as much building my car.

    question on maual 2jz swap unaswered

    I believe all you need is the brake pedal. Not 100% sure however I have seen people just cut down their Auto brake pedal to make it clear... And about the tach I know the turbo tach works fine on a 1j not sure on the 2j however. I would amagine it would be fine because the electronics are...

    well it would be fine to use a v-160 as long as you use a mk4 diff too. All the more power to you if you can do that. Does anyone know how the mk4 diff compares to the mk3 diff as far as strength is concerned?

I've actually repaired the crack and redesigned the manifold using the same flange and bolted it...
