lol, yes, yes it does. Machine shop called, head is warped on the cam side. They said they could straighten it, then its getting a full valve job, surface, match port, and all new springs (replace as a set is a general rule). I could not afford new oversized valves or anything too radical...

what it looks like now: pics of the carnage: Im going to do a little match porting while I have it all apart and some cleaning and polishing under the hood.

broke a valve spring coming back from centrailia and bent the valve. Head is being rebuilt now. project is nearing the end of what i can afford to do with it. Gonna have to sell it and move on.

OK...So, I have completed phase 1 of the project and Im pleased with how it turned out. This Time I have a few pics to help tell the story. Phase 1 was to be the "streetworthy" phase. When I got the car the motor ran like dogshit. It had a huge off idle stumble and surged and bucked at...

To be honest it really depends on how much work I can come up with this summer, but initially my plans are pretty realistic. Im almost done with the suspension and brakes already. I essentially dropped the entire undercarriage out from under it, cleaned and painted the hard parts and replaced...

The 22R came later (3rd gen). 1st gens were 8RC 18RC then 20R in the US. Other countries got a variety as well, including the 18RG which was a DOHC hemi head yamaha motor that put out close to 140 in stock trim. My 75 is the first year of the long running R series in a Celica. The appeal...

Project is progressing nicely. I still have under a grand into it at this point but that will change once I start with the motor swap, ;) more teasers:

Ive always wanted a first year 71 "flatlight", but as those are just so rare and impossible to find for cheap, I had to go with this one. Its going to get lots of TLC first. I just need it to be safe and streetable for now. Eventually it will get a modern powerplant. Im leaning towards a...

I thought a few members here might appreciate this one so I thought I might give a little teaser of the summer project. sorry, way to much to do to before I can even give a full body shot. (Bonus to anyone who can correctly identify the year! ;) )

To be honest my life has pretty much been "teh suck" since I screwed up and lost the love of my life. I miss her still though I try very hard to move forward. Life in Corvallis (and all of Oregon for that matter) is what it is, you know. I cant really complain though, there are alot of people...

Just an update in case anyone was curious. I sold my mk2 for a good price and after finding nothing on the market that I liked I decided it was time to get a "grown-up" car for a while. I bought a loaded, low miles, '99 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP coupe. Its ok, nothing special, but its faster than...

not on this forum Ken. Despite the few guys that I DO like here, there are hard feelings about too many others to come back here for more than a comment or two. Looks like Im probably going to be a TT owner if everything works out, and its NOT a toyota.

I had a total of $2500 in hard money into Vivien when I sold her and was paid $5500 cash for her. Still probably a loss when I factor in the hours, but all in all it was top dollar for the car. Even so I wondered the whole time if I was doing the right thing as she was running flawlessly as a daily.

300ZX, MR2, SCX00, RX7, Alltrac, AWD Eclipse, VR4 are all terms showing up in my search windows. Despite their problems, the Z32 is pretty high on my list, but a 5spd sc300 would be fun to own as well.

I sold this car a couple days ago. I was made an offer I could not refuse. search terms on CL and autotrader do NOT include the word supra anymore. Its time for something different.

If you need to contact me for any reason please use my email adress of facime@hotmail.com

Driving your own supra up Mary's Peak > riding bitch in a corvette....

I also wanted to post the pictures of the last 89 wheels I did. They are better resolution and show more details than the first ones I posted.

Added the e-brake handle to my products list. $35 plus $10/core +shipping for one of these in black.
