Thanks... I just have to source a clean motorset now. I appreciate all the help. I read the Soarer to Supra Wiring, seems pretty straight forward color matching. IS ther a JDM supra to USDM supra wiring diagram I will have to assume a JDM Supra harness does not have the same plugs as my...
I am looking through a few of those websites and reading TSRM notes and PDF's. I hope there are not many inconsistencies with the documents being that my car is an 87 and its chances for having a different wiring setup than the later 89-91's. I think I will order a few new plugs from...
While I am awaiting swaybars links to arrive.... I am pondering a engine swap. I'd like to do a 1UZ, but I think a 1JZ is much more realistic with the timelines I have set for myself. I have a few questions here in the motor swap forum: request for 1JZ info
I have been reading this forums nightly for what seems like months on end, while restoring my 87 Turbo. I am pretty much up to the point with what do I do with the aging 7MGTE. I am pretty much well versed with the 2JZ engine so I am debating putting in a 1JZGTE into the 87. (no I don't...
Now I am debating if I should reinstall the hatch trim, or gut it all out sand and fix the rust and repaint it pearl white. (For a clean track car look) or.... maybe Dynamat Black the entire thing.
Time to liberate this car from the rice that infested it in the mid to late 90's. Good bye 5" RACTIVE crap!
As you can see the rear muffler section has rotted and rusted pretty bad.
Bootleg! damn son ever hear about stainless? :)
Got the old system out.... I just impact gunned the...
OK, so I decided to get up and tackle the dirty job again. I prepped myself for coilover, swaybar, downpipe and exhaust installation today. I am somewhat of a new to finding my way around an MK3 although it does share many characteristics with the Sc300 and MK4 Supra.
So after being...
That windshield moulding clips around backside of glass so when the urethane that is laid down dries...it pretty much locks the molding in place from setting back in place. (I saw a glass guy do it on my supra) You can remove it without removing the windshield but its a lot of work and you...
I'll be installing it on Saturday if things work out. and my Megan coilovers arrive on Monday. I will do a full suspension overhaul and install once those arrive and drop the car about 2" for a nice fender to tire kiss.
I couldnt get the old style... I looked far and wide... even Titan didnt stock the old style somewhere in their warehouse. I picked it up from Driftmotion
OK Brown hooked me up today..... Tomorrow will be a little more progress if it doesnt rain.
Better shot if front wheel
Better shot of rear wheel
Next on the list will be coilovers.... so I can get all the grunt work done on this car...
The leather seats are in horrible shapre....I figured I would send them out to be reupholstered. and when that is being done I can pull the dash and the interior pieces and clean, repaint and reinstall. (I already bought grey seatbelts)
Thanks man.... I wanna keep the restoration of this car completely in touch with the era of the late 80's and the Supra's I saw rolling around NYC when David Dinkins was Mayor :D I even had this god awful thought of getting the chrome Rocker Trim with "Supra" etched in that was ever so...
