I am sure you dont want to remove the motor and completly disassemble it. I would just get as much contamination out as possible. Then run it for 5 min at idle. Change the oil and filter again, and get back on the road. If you are looking for a complete piece of mind, that nothing is damaged, a...

Welcome, you sound like a busy guy with some interesting projects. I for one would like to see some of your work. AKA, pics or it didnt happen.

Antenna connections are all the same, any aftermarket antenna should plug right in to the stock line, that is already in the car. So just pick one you like. With that being said, cable and mast replacement is fairly simple and cheap. And thats usually the problem. I like the auto antenna.

Sometimes it think your out in your own little world. I mean seriously, who has old ass german tools? I thought we were comparing pricey american made tools to Chinese paperweights.

The pads should always be touching the rotors. So to answer your question, 0 clearance. Have you inspected the brakes? Are the pads wearing evenly? Whats the thickness?

^american made tools, no question.

You need to apply power AND ground to the pins for the motor to work.

Give power to the wire that goes from the under hood fuse block to the positive battery terminal (its white with a blue fuseable link, in my car). And hook up ground any way possible. Then most electrical functions should work as normal. Turn on the key, and put windows up.

Try again, there is no code 2. The codes are always two digits, so do you see 22 or 11? Look at the links. http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=FI&P=24 http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/TechTips/engine_error_codes.aspx Code 11 will cause the vehicle to not start as you describe.

HR springs will give a little more drop, and are a little more stiff than Eibachs. That sounds like what you are aiming for. If you have tems and want to keep it, Tokico Illumina II's are the only option (other than stock). Otherwise any good shock will do (I like Bilstein shocks)

How did you do that?

Thats awesome, How the hell did you find that?

When i got my engine both turbos were FULL of oil (compressor housings). I just figured the motor was on its side at one time, as there is no way it was running that way, before it was pulled. And the oil pan was still full of oil.

Welcome, sounds like a fun project.

About the alignment... Did you see that the eccentrics are actually maxed out? They all move freely? Did the tech know there are four eccentrics in the front? There is a lot of adjustment in the front of these cars. I have a feeling something was overlooked. It would be kinda easy to overlook...

Damn that thing runs clean.

It just takes time to learn how to use an aggressive clutch, without chatter. Even after you get it down, it will happen sometimes when you have your mind on something else. I have found that if you go from not engaged to fully engaged, quickly, the chatter goes away. Its the slipping of the...

Thats not a serpentine belt, your belt is the wrong length, and how the hell do you think that is whats causing any issue? Let the belt be, its not the issue.

You can still get a lot of cars with a manual gear box. A coworker just got a camry with a six speed.

Your post is hard to follow, but I gather its just an open crank case, with a filter? Yeah american cars did that in the 50's and 60's, but they had a way to direct the fumes under the car, other than just venting in the engine compartment...
