I made some progress with the oil system today and installed my new thermostat
and re-did the oil lines between the thermostat and oil cooler.
When I mounted my oil filter I noticed that it was leaning a bit...the threaded
part in it was crooked :S Thankfully I...
I forgot about this thread.
mecevans: the gain from E85 is because of the higher octane number and the 30% higher fuel consumption is
because E85 contains 30% less energy.
Typhoon seems to know it all ;)
Good to see that Nick M corrected him.
The future for E85 is not looking so...

I removed some more parts from my engine.
I will clean the injectors in a ultrasonic cleaner and I will bypass the
waterlines going through the throttle and IAC.

Time to get a leak free connection between the head and exh. manifold.
I used the stud kit from driftmotion.
As soon as I started the drill I started sweating, I was really nervous.
But I got it to work :)
I left the stud closest to the firewall since it seamed...

Today when I went outside to greet the beautiful weather I saw something not so good
on my supra. The fuel was pouring out of the filler cap.
The way my supra was parked made it possible for the sun to shine directly at the
fuel tank and heat up the contents.

I have started to look at how I can mount my new gauges in my spare cluster.
To see if I could take something of the gauges, I opened one of them up, but there's
nothing to take of.

Hey Scotty,
thanks for showing a good alternative to fixing the rear arches.
I just received mine and for all of you others who want to do the same arches: search for vauxhall calibra 90-97 rear wheel arch on ebay.co.uk. I couldnt find them on ebay.com
They cost 12£ each from Poland...

If you thought that yesterday was a big day, these two days are even bigger!!! ;)
I started on the 20/5 pretty early with a friend.
There were only a few things that we needed to fix.
The goal was to drive my supra to "The odd vehicle day" at my...

Big day today! :D
I finished the last things and my supra was now ready for a test start :)
In the first video I'm just getting the oilpressure up. After that I went
to reconnect the coils and injectors, but for some reason I forgot to do that :S
Instead I...

A lot of parts were installed today. The most important one was the timingbelt.
I bought a tool which locks the camgears so it only takes one try to get it right.
The pictures and comments will explaine the rest :)
