I am turbo, just wanted to thread jack here since it was getting some action. I'm doing my HG as preventative maintenance, and this is holding me up. I guess I'll just keep taking stuff off until I see it. I like your idea of petcock, I'll get right on that as soon as find the damn...
I was looking for the engine drain as well.
Is it the bold just above the heatshield (accessible from the top) ? or somewhere accessible underneath? The TSRM has sort of a vague illustration, and I can't quite tell if the one I can see from above is the correct one - any advice would be...
Sorry, this is pretty bad. Could do better if you gave me a picture of something metallic in a similar lighting situation. A silver car would be best, as the metallic actually looks more matte when the sun hits it.
Well, we should have an excellent write-up on that -- I am doing the HG on my car right now (even though it's not blown).
I look at this as a chance to create a reference for all the things I wish were on here. People get upset when members ask a stupid question, but the fact is, many don't...
Well, it sounds like that ebay seller says he converted the tranny. The question I have is: why didn't he use the shorter shifter? Hopefully somebody here will buy it and report on it (so I don't have to waste my money :biglaugh: )
We will probably get more/better input if it is associated officially with SM. I think if we can do this right, it could really enhance the the value of the site.
I was planning on making these static pages for maximum compatibility, but let me know if anybody else has suggestions.
Ha - that's funny - put in my Koyo radiator a couple of days ago... Probably the only write-up that I'll know what the hell the author is talking about...:biglaugh:

See if you can take it for 4 minutes! If not fast forward to 2:00 minute mark -- That's some real Freestailo yo!
I should be able to get this started on Tuesday or Wednesday. I am just finishing up a site for another supra guy...
I'll build it live on my server, so you can make suggestions as it progresses.
I am actually in the process of taking off my head, so I can try to grab some pictures of the individual components I have taken off. The previous owner ruined all the paint in the engine bay, so my car is not a good sample for the overall pics.
Yes, the desire for visual navigation in addition to a text index was understood.
Whenever we get the engine bay pics, they should be posted in this thread. This way, when people submit the component write-up they can circle what they're talking about in ms paint(in case I don't know)...
Here are my suggestions for what information will be contained in each page. Obviously, not all of the sections will be applicable to all components, but, the goal would be to have as much of this info as possible:
COMPONENT NAME
Main Picture
Location
What it does
How it works...
Don't over-simplify them, we might as well make this as comprehensive as possible.
I have an idea on the format of the write-ups. I will post it up tomorrow afternoon. I think it will be better if we have a guide to gathering the data. This will create a more useful and consistent site in...
Please send any content for this site to:
suprainfo@douglasdowd.com
If anybody needs to contact me, feel free to use my normal email, douglasdowd@gmail.com as it will be checked more often.
Yes, let me set up a new email address for receiving the pictures/text for this project. I am heading to bed now, so I will set up a new account in the morning and post it.
How are you going to decide what write-ups, etc. are accepted in?
Also, if people know of any links relative to the...
