    Pressure plate bolt question

    The closest thing you have to MTV is a channel that plays Men at Work videos in a loop?

    1jz-gte OR 2jz-gte

    The info is all here on the forums - you just have to take the time to study it. It's a little overwhelming at first diving in to a car or swap you're not familiar with, but give yourself a couple solid weeks of research and it'll start to make sense.

    My JDM JZA70 Twinturbo R Project

    Said he sold it. Although I will say the color combo with the most recent wheels was pretty hot.

    1JZ + 2JZ parts

    http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32363 I've read that it was tried years ago in Japan by Greddy and the results weren't all that good, but we all know you have to take what you read on the internet with a grain of salt. I haven't seen anything recent/conclusive about it.

    1jz-gte OR 2jz-gte

    You got a real steal on the car. Official specs were 320 for USDM and 280 for JDM but the JDM's are also supposedly quite underrated. Really it doesn't matter much unless you're keeping the motor stock. The final engine choice really comes down to you. Do your research, price everything...

    Pressure plate bolt question

    I show 90119-08302 for the JZA70, while the MA70 is 90119-08322. Not sure why the difference, maybe the JZA70 ones are in fact longer. I would think they'd be the same. Is the SPEC pressure plate really that thick?

    chuck's Mkiii 1jz build

    The paint looks good. The kit really isn't my cup of tea, but it looks like a quality job. Those wheels are pretty sweet. JDM resistor pack? That GT45 :aigo: will be nowhere near its potential with 550's and a piggyback. Unless you have some lofty goals and plan to spend some serious cash to...

    A norwegian single-turbo MKIII 2JZ build

    Why only 500 with a 66mm turbo? You seem pretty excited about the fact that it's 650hp capable, so why not take advantage of that? You can squeeze 500 whp out of 550's but you'll be right on the edge. However, your turbo has more potential than that, I say up the fuel to match. I would say...

    A norwegian single-turbo MKIII 2JZ build

    This ought to be good, you Scandinavians don't tend to mess around. I'll be looking forward to seeing the end product :)

    Jon's 1989 1JZ single turbo restoration and build: Stellllllaaaaa!

    Disassembly ensues. Josh came by and gave me a hand pulling the motor on Wednesday. I have been at it since then stripping the car down. The engine bay is almost entirely stripped. The blue tape is to mark the holes that I intend to weld shut. The thought has crossed my mind to do the engine...

    Dug up some pics!

    Nice paint booth. I did the same thing but with 2x2's when I painted my (former) bike. Looks like the paint came out great.

    Possible Meet Oct. 19!

    I'm in if this materializes again. Let's hope the Ike guys are getting settled back in OK.

    Tire Shredder's MK2 7MGE budget NA screamer build thread

    The car looks like it has come together nicely. Hopefully the front main doesn't cause you too much grief. Steve, are you by chance related to Troy?

    any of you guys with a soarer 1j done this?

    Well it doesn't matter which wire you cut, either one is going to break the circuit. I think the best thing you can do is just to try cutting one. If it has adverse effects, solder, heatshrink, and forget. Edit: Didn't see drewgo's reply. I don't understand what you're looking for beyond his...

    any of you guys with a soarer 1j done this?

    Pink wire doesn't really apply here since the JZA70 uses a single-wire signal. You're kind of on your own here unless someone else who's already done it chimes in. The JZZ30 ECU might not play nice without a speed signal.

    And a nose piece and B-pillars. The MKII guys are getting them made by KCG (Key Composites Group), the OEM for Chaser. They made the hood that the targa is sitting in front of in my pic. http://forums.celicasupra.com/showthread.php?t=36596&page=23 I thought about mentioning it here but...
