Man I have to say, if more newbies to this forum were like you it would be a real treat to cruise the introductions section. You are polite, humble and well spoken all at the same time, a rarity for supra enthusiast sites. It also sounds like you have the perfect attitude for the car, and in all...

I seriously HATE crawling around under a car and working from my back. I would pull the motor long before I would drop the subframe to replace the pan. From my memory the stock oil pickup is pretty close to the bottom of the pan, BUT Ive seen pans mangled worse than that and not cause oil...

Nice car! Welcome to SM. There are a few mk2 owners (as of last week Im one as well) here so feel free to fit right in. I plan to do a 1JZ as well on mine. Did you do the swap yourself or did you have someone else do it? If you did it yourself, on a scale of 1-10 what would you rate it...

There is something about the 1UZ in a supra I really like. I think maybe its because the mk3 reminds me so much of my F-body camaros. Good luck with your swap.

Ive always wanted to fire a BAR. The skinny is that is NOT Hestons house, but if it was...does anyone remember the movie "Omega Man"? ;)

well with those mods I dont see mention of a way to get substantially more air/fuel into the motor (besides the cams), so Im going to say you are probably putting out just over stock numbers depending on what you turn the boost up to. I would venture a ballpark figure of 250-260 at just under...

did you ask the business you ate at or any of the surrounding ones if they have surveillance coverage of the parking lot you were in? maybe you could get lucky and find out who did it. how old was the paint on the car in the first place? if we are talking bout original paint I highly doubt you...

I was going to do a "future plans" post here soon after I really had a good idea of what Im working with. For the most part my plan is to do the reverse of what I did last time. Im going to leave the drivetrain mostly stock to start (just get it running right and reliable). My plans are to put...

I actually almost immediately thought more along the lines of murder/suicide or double suicide.

lol, I got more important things to worry about than turn lenses. Besides, all my lenses are going to get smoked/altered eventually.

Thanks Kyle, PacNW being in Portland this year will be fun and close for me. I should have a good example of a bone stock 85 by then ;) I wish I had the money for your friends 1JZ setup. That will have to wait for a while.

Thats just a tad bit cold blooded :nono: senseless carnage, and they were definately foolish, but its still sad to see.

Not sure of the law in Oregon but its like WA my vehicle will be exempt in 2 more years ;)

just 2 - The original color and the crappy respray on the bumper that looks like it was color matched by Stevie Wonder and put on with a reused windex bottle. :nono: UPDATE: Replaced my hood struts today. One of them was so completely gone that it was more like a slide whistle than a gas...

Duane, Im guessing they need the money on the OUTSIDE to help pay the bills while hes on the INSIDE. It seems to me the lawyer is the one who failed miserably here. I would be asking for a refund of his retainer since it seems he did nothing helpful.

My brothers can comes running out every time I get out of my car, but it doesnt come up to me. It likes my dog and will follow her around headbutting her chest and sticking her tail in the air. Inter-species lesbian pets ftw. lol.

:nono:

if history repeats itself, a computer that fast that takes up an entire room now, will be reduced to the size of a cell phone in about 30 years. But by that time it will be akin to a living organism using purely organic molecular level "transistors" (like...

glad you are ok Ken. You should have just done what the cops do when they see an idiot wreck a car in front of them. They run up to the car and pull the guy out and cuff him while kneeling on his spine. Then they go around slapping each other on the ass while adjusting their mirrored aviator...
