Right, the crank can be at TDC when you time it and can be off. It's a common mistake. One question though is whether or not the car has ran before that you are aware off. What happened since then? Alot of times if you get a little water in the distributor that can cause problems like you...

Ah, a distributor. Explains the problem even better. Sounds like you timed the distributor by putting the #1 cyl at TDC on the exhaust stroke, 180 degrees off. Make sure the #1 cyl is TDC on compression and then re-time the distributor.

Sounds like the ignition timing is out of spec. May have something to do with the IGN lead missing. I do not know exactly what you did but to temp fix that issue but just "tapping" wires together does not sound very good.

I am building a track and street car. Fact is though If I need to go through a rain storm I have another car to do it in. AC is useless I never use it, period. Heaters are not needed in a car that doesn't see winter. Plush interiors and expensive paint jobs are simply impractical. I see too...

I regret to inform you guys my build up has reached a slowing point. I am saving money for a transmission and for going back to school for becoming possibly a materials engineer. I also have to build an engine for my girlfriend's 91 VR4. Of course, at her expense....

The cam will be the TPIS ZL11X. Duration: 220 - Intake / 224 - Exhaust Lift: 0.557" Intake / 0.558" Exhaust Lobe Separation Angle: 112 This is the "biggest" cam TPIS sells without the need for different pistons or flycutting the stock ones.

The pics are in the build up section under "SySt's Build Up"

Yeah, no wipers. No plush interior either, and no turbos. No back seat either, hell not even any form of HVAC aside from windows.

I am not using wipers. I just need to decide whether or not to use the combination switch for all of my switch functions or should I just use toggle switches on the dash.

I have a decision to make. Do I use the combination switch on the steering column for the majority of my functions? I will no longer be using wipers, but it's either the steering column or switchs on the dash for lights, blinkers and any other functions that require switches.

When I remove the brace it will be because structurally speaking it is no longer needed. I do not beleive the brace is meant to be fully welded, meaning adding welds may not make it safer from a side impact perspective.

I understood ya perfectly Nash. I actually just finished painting my brace yesterday. I did not add to the welds however. I did think of doing it but decided not to because I likely will not even use the brace in the future.

Looks like you are using a semi-flat white. I do not know if duplicolor sells it, but Krylon makes a bunch of gloss paints and white is probably one of them. Just make sure you spray it absolutely even.

Gas smell is no bullshit. I have driven for 2 years with no charcoal canister on my Supra it never smelt like gas until... My injectors started randomly leaking from the fuel rail. That was a pain in the ass, had to drive it home knowing it was leaking fuel pretty bad. I would check for...

I am a fan of the stock body on a MKIII. However, what you are doing looks really good so far. It's not too gaudy and keeps with the lines alright.

I sincerely beleive it will. :)

You can order from CSK or Advance Auto through this site I beleive: www.partsamerica.com. I would just get remanufactured calipers if you have no experience rebuilding them. Also, it's best to have compressed air to get the piston out.

I do not know what it is as my Supra never had a charcoal canister, EGR or any of those annoying vac lines on the intake manifold. However I do know it is not a fuel line if your car drives, so not a line off the J-tube. Whatever it is, you might want to get it away from your steering shaft...

Oh I just can't wait. 500hp on a car probably lighter than a Corvette, with a 3.9 differential ratio. Not to mention the steering response and handling I will get. I am just putsing with it though, can not be in a hurry.

Well, made more picture-worthy progress. Got the rotors cleaned up, along with a new steer rack in and new wheel bearings up front. Everything was cleaned and painted. I put it on the ground and the tires don't even compress under the weight. I can steer the tires easily but just turning one...
