    88 Blue Turbo restoration/upgrade story

    I am not a fan of the 88 look but your car is pretty nice. Keep up the good work. I have a light blue as well.

    Steve's mildly out-of-control build

    That's weird. Grimsta told me 35 offset will clear the Willwoods when I was asking about some rims.

    RUST! Everywhere 8k estimate fix. Need some Help with questions on swap. Please.

    That is some bad rust. Is it that bad or it could just be surface rust that some grinding down and POR 15 could fix. I bought a cars from Virginia, Pennslyvania and New Hampshire and all are rust free. How would a car from a nice weather place have so much rust? Maybe a bad shop trying to...

    1JZ Build..HKS...Greddy..ACT..Chrome..You Might Like It.Dont Hate :)

    The QSV could be run in any position. You can even position the actuator on the front but it is not that nice as we would like to normally hide those things. I like how my brake lines turned out, looks nice but I want to get my big brake kit installed but have to wait to find some TT rims or...

    Bearing cap Torque "Q"

    Split it up. 15, 15 and 17. That would mean 15ft/lbs, 30ft/lbs and then 47ft/lbs.

    Yes, just tighten them down with a socket and pull in three stages to 47 pounds.

    Yes, I bought it. Had to get it modified as well and my gauges will be turning on a relay to power the solenoid to open the QSV. I actually had to get my manifold modified too. I have pictures of it a couple pages back. If I had a CNC machine, I would be a happy guy.

    Car will not go into gear. Need some advice.

    I stored my gearbox for my first Supra for over a year on its bellhousing and it was fine. The gears would drop forward and put weight on the c-clips and maybe bend them which causes the gears to move. That is my assumption but I am not sure.

    On Thursday, I had some more brake lines made. Left a deposit and went to pick them up on Friday and brought two more brake lines with me as well. The lines were made to be a little longer than normal because I wanted to route them a little differently and have the show. Can't spend 450...

    Car will not go into gear. Need some advice.

    Not to take away from your thread but can someone explain why storing a gearbox on it's bellhousing is bad?

    My $300 paint job

    Dustin, make sure you don't get mixed up on color. Best way is to take the gas tank and let them match it up. If you can get a color code, it will help but make sure you tell them to blend it to the actual gas tank cover. It works better that way. The color code is not the best way.
