20k in mods and its still an auto???? Bleh, nevermind.

Yup. They aren't the smartest people in the world by the way. Hehe.....It took him 20 minutes to figure out that the constant flashing of the CEL really means there are no codes. :nuts:

Personally I would tap into wires that would normally go to the radio. That way if you do it wrong, you've only lost your radio function and not say, ignition switch, or other key components. Just my opinion.

Before my turbo swap my n/a engine had 192k miles and it ran great and was still strong. Your's may be the same.

Yay. My Swap passed CA emissions yesterday. I am so happy. Now its time for tires, shocks, new windshield, wheel bearings, brakes, and who knows what else. Any suggestion on shocks? Don't want TEMS, and Koni's are too expensive.

Maybe the bearing is too big. Mine went in just fine.

Hey now, if Jeff is gonna go out and give free rep points, then I want some too.

Benz = mega expensive labor and parts. Infinite = Bleh.. Lexus = Sounds like your best choice. Parts are expensive but prolly not quite as expensive as the Benz. *Note, my opinion, use it at your own risk*

Thats what it sounded like to me also.

No gasket leaks or anything? I had a big one right at the throttle body and engine wouldn't idle. Someone mentioned in another thread to check the cold start injector, or maybe just unplug and see what happens.

Overall though the body doesn't look to be in that bad of shape. I like the black sawblades with that color.

LOL...

For your a/c: First turn the A/C on then go and see if the A/C clutch engaged on the pully. That may mean one of two things: 1) Freon too low. 2) Bad wire, etc.

Yeah Cali sucks for smog laws. They will fail you if something is not "stock" or CARB approved regardless if you pass the emissions test. I have a smog check this Thursday with my 7MGTE swap. Hope it passes. :x: I once almost failed because my gas cap was not "working". It was either...

Same thing with mine. I put wd40, penetrating oil, etc. Tried hammering on it for days, the bastard still wouldn't budge. I gave up and took it to a shop. But, they say heat and a hammer will get it off. Good luck.

Yeah, I check the coolant quite frequently and there appears to be no coolant loss. Will keep checking it though. Thanks all.

Supra is not registered so I haven't driven it much. But, I start it up and let it warm up every weekend. Starts right up, idles fine, runs fine, no codes. Timing perfect. After each warmup I get this puddle of water. There is no oil, its not coolant (doesn't have any color and doesn't...

Sounds fun....but unfortunatly no roads around me like that to practice on.

Good find. That crimper tool is expensive, but plyers will work.
