wtf were you thinking?

I guess they learned from the M series engines....

HAH. Just re-read what the ad said.... "PREVIOUS OWNER CUT THE ROOF OFF THE CAR" The guy who is selling it was dumb enough to buy that hacked up POS!

You know, that doesn't look THAT bad as a convertable... I would never do it tho, or own one.... looks like a convertable 240.. Poor execution.. interesting to see what a supra COULD look like if it were a convertable...

not to mention all the holes beside the main holes for the plug wires...

wow man, that looks simply awesome... I used some dupli-colour interior/carpet paint on my steering column and it turned out great. It's more of a dye than a paint, almost dries instantly. Painted a floor mat with it just to try it and it looked likea brand new black floor mat (was stained grey...

wow... mines 3350 last time I weighed. full interior.

Great, thanks :) So, what are you going to do about the main carpet? Are you going to buy new carpet in black or use the spray on all of it? I guess it depends on how the door carpet turns out. If you spray the floor, could you post before and after pictures of it? I want to know how well it...

:love: Amazing! Turning out great! Now get some pictures of the peices in direct sunlight! Q: Did you paint the leather inserts with the same paint or did you use leather dye? Q: How is the carpet? Did it get kind of crunchy, or is it still nice and soft like stock?

hmm, I'll do that on my next days off work. Sounds like it could be the issue, since I'm pretty damn sure the noise is head related. Is there any way to check the cam journals with the cams still in place (without having to go through redoing the timing belt and retiming the motor)

hmm, sound quality isn't the best in that video, but it sounds about the same... mine is a little more refined sounding, but that could be because of the camera used...

Well, today I had my valve covers off to check my valve clearences (trying to figure out some valvetrain noise...) Anywho, I also decided today would be a good day to start cleaning up my engine bay. Earlier in the summer I swapped a gte into my 88 n/a supra. I started cleaning up the gte...

search "shim wastegate"... covered many, many times before.

no, I wouldn't do that either. A mechanics stethascope should be able to pinpoint my issue.. I just hope I don't hear it knocking in my oil pan... it's hard to tell by just listening by the wheel well if it's coming from the head or the oil pan...

hmm... that's a good idea, I never thought of that... (the cam cap) It's a little loud to be the injectors.... there is a very audible tap/knock and it sounds like it's being done by one thing, once per revolution... wich is why I thought it was a single shim that was out...

no it won't be bad, it will run rich when it blows off, and pissibly stall the engine, if it's vented to atmosphere (open air). What you can do is recirculate it, just like the stock bypass valve. Meaning, you re-route the air back to the intake (before the turbo). That way it will operate...

Well, I checked all my valve clearences today, and all seem to be right in spec according to the TSRM, all were right around the smaller side of the recommended spec. I checked them to diagnose what I thought was just valve that was out of adjustment. Well, since they are all perfect, the...
