I agree, be different, go bronze.

Just a socket! it was a 14mm deep socket I was trying to get the top nut on the starter at the time. But I had Viv up in the air pretty good at the time so it fell from almost a full arms length. It also caught me at the worst possible spot, that part right at the outside edge of your eye that...

Scott, where do you stand on your car right now? Ive been following along of course, but Im curious as to what you see as still needing to be done to be finished (well as finished as we ever are).

If I keep up this pace Im gonna need machines to keep me alive. :biglaugh: Like was said in Scott's thread, I have been blessed with good weather to work in and that makes a difference. I know what its like to work in the heat, I spent last summer in Houston remember? I dont work fast, but I...

If I told you how much I paid for the complete 5spd setup it would make you sick. Finding mk2 parts is kind of a pain, but they are still pretty cheap when you do. (I paid less than the temperature in California yesterday) :naughty: I doubt I can get anything for the auto stuff as there was...

Well it was a brilliant day with mild temps and sunny skies. Not that I spent much time under them as I was in the garage all day. Got the nasty old automatic out. Managed to do it this time without looking like I murdered someone under the car (drain plug on trans pan ftw). I put on the nearly...

Today I pulled the automatic, put in the new clutch and W58, mounted the pedals, bled the system and test drove it, all without breaking a sweat though I did manage to give myself a black eye....GET MOTIVATED!

supposed to get hot as the week goes on, but has been a perfect high 70's low 80's around here. :D In the garage its almost chilly until noonish.

I got a new TPS and spent some time adjusting it perfect. I got it within spec but I still throw a code 41. Its must be in the wiring and with the botch job by the previous owner...who knows where to start. I already traced 3 of the 3 wires back the ECU for continuity and they were good. The...

Jail is a test of willpower and patience. I know. can he have a deck of cards? if not maybe a stack of index cards that he can make his own cards out of?

Jeff, I think you missed the part where its an AE86 ;). But 5spd JZ powered in any chassis under 9 sec is insane.

it could be a separated cord in your tire. That can make a thumping noise. Look for a bulge on the sidewall or signs of the tread separating from the cords. A clicking sound can also come from a nail or even a rock jammed in your tread. Start with the simple stuff first.

speaking of magic beans... :fart:

Ahh damn George I will miss you. Heaven or hell just became a better place to go, think about that.

wow, that was pretty friggin cool.

Well, if you look at the history of the Celica its pretty well documented that the 2000gt was the predecessor of or at least the inspiration for the Celica, so therefore of the supra. I just didnt go that far back on my previous responce.

with a running engine my hopes for you getting your money out of it are better. I would seriously reconsider trying to save that one. I would be looking for a rust free (or at least surface rust only) shell to put all the working parts in. 600-700hp is certainly doable...with a big enough...

nevermind Nick, he gets a little cranky now and then and thinks hes a know it all..:sarcasm: The Celica Supra was the original supra regardless of the Celica heritage. Does it bear much in resemblance to the mk3, not really, but neither does the mk3 to the mk4. You also made a great point in...

wow, thats a project alright. More than I personally would want to tackle. What are your goals for the car? That will play heavily on what advice we might give. This community and this forum in particular is a family and we will definately take care of someone who respects it in return. Youve...

lol, busted! Must have mixed her up with Suzi?
