Coolant level has been dead solid. Like I said - it's running really well. Other than the fact that I used a composite gasket, the build was done with utmost attention to detail. I've been driving it quite a bit, so it's gone through a good number of heat cycles. Now that it's broken...

I would say there is a slight reduction in the amount of steam - still over a normal amount.

I wouldn't have bothered anybody if it was just a tiny bit out of the ordinary. I'll have to find a buddy with a video camera to capture what's going on. I'm not that worried about it, I just have spent quite a bit of time and money getting this thing running perfectly - I'm not going to...

Keep it clean and no worries - I have a few specs of rust on my oil pan, but that's it. I have to admit though, after they coat the roads with salt here, I cringe as I hear all the little pebbles hitting my undercarriage.

You should be good on the snow tires - just realize it's going to react differently than your old car. Your best bet is to find an open parking lot and have some fun the first time you get some snow/ice.

I had the exact same symptoms as you, ended up being a damaged (new) intake manifold gasket. Not sure if this is your problem, but I thought I would mention it.

Again, nothing is leaking/mixing. If I did not make it clear, the steam is coming out of the tailpipe. This is not an underhood leak problem. Engine has not been cleaned (it was just rebuilt, so it is clean). I thought I was being paranoid for a little while, but the steam is excessive -...

I have searched, but have not found an answer. If someone can help, or point me to a useful thread that would be great! I have a fair amount of steam at idle. It has no real smell, (other than exhaust) it is not blue or grey, just a light, white steam. I understand it has gotten cold...

No, there were no 7m's in the videos. I have heard of the swap and saw pictures some time ago. The fact that you see 1j and 2j's should indicate that a 7m would be along the same lines. The 240's and 740's (hell, the 940's if you want be funny) all have quite a bit of room for creative...

That would have been a HUGE mistake.

I am not a fan of the JDM tails. I do have plans for the taillights though. There will be some selective tinting/painting. I also have someone trying to retrofit some LED's from a Cadillac.

That's sort of what I was thinking, but I have been leaning back to black recently. I really like the way the black moldings look in these pictures. Meh, we'll see. I have been playing around with wheel color for my summer wheels in my head too.

The interior is perfect, but unfortunately tan. I'll grab some pics eventually - but the plan is to go with black plastics and dark grey tweed sometime this spring. The engine bay is close to done - but in a sad state right now. The previous owner thought it a great idea to spray the engine...

04+ highlander, echo I think it was used in a couple other vehicles also.

I saw some pictures of one a very long time ago. I used to work for Volvo, and have seen all sorts of crap stuffed under the hood of Volvo 240's/740's. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLFLm_VczhM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeMN9aLGxnI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlXFsYoTYS0...

I wouldn't be so quick to condemn the guy. Fel pro makes very good MLS head gaskets (most notably for domestic vehicles). He was probably commenting on overall quality, and was not at a computer checking if they actually made an MLS gasket for the Supra (which they don't that I know of). I...

The car really does have its virtues. Very stable and comfortable; even more notable above 125.

I know that was the tool that broke the bank too, lol :icon_razz

Here's a preview:
