Cost me a lot of money to learn that lesson... also taught me to have an end goal in mind, or learn to be less picky. ;) This is true. ALL things like this are easier to do with the engine out than trying to troubleshoot leaks, wiring issues, etc, with the engine is in the car. Like I've...

Buddy of ours is doing something similar to a 40's era Chevy sedan... You might also contact Wes with Dahn Automotive in Chandler, AZ. ;)

I'd pitch in $20 if it hadn't already sold... What do you think the odds are we'll be seeing the new owner on here? :p

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1988-Toyota-Supra-NO-RESERVE-/330686947890?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item4cfe7a6232 I say we should buy this car guys. Collectively. Then we can take turns trailering it to shows that we attend, park it right beside OUR car, that way it makes OUR car look 10x...

DROOL... seriously, I'm picking my jaw up here. I would LOVE to have one of those 18R-GEU engines, they were used in a lot of Celica ventures in that era as well, hell of an engine. Lucky guy to have one of Ivan Stuart's trucks. Definitely my kind of truck!

For what it's worth, I've found that when you're young, you know you want something, but rarely do you know WHAT that is in life. It's not until a few failed experiences that you learn what you DON'T want. It's like Sudoku, really. :rofl:

All, a thought I just had: Toyota currently does not allow parts for JDM models to be imported to US based suppliers. However, if we were to have a trustworthy member on that side of the ocean, would it be fiscally feasible to have them buy parts every few months, then ship to the US? Would the...

Jack the car up and try to spin the rear wheels (front too, could cause a wander, but you'd probably notice that in the steering). Make sure the car is in neutral... Also, something to consider, sometimes it's the stupidly simple things, like tire pressure. I thought my subframe had loosened...

Eh, live and learn I suppose. In my case, I spent 5k on a car that had a turbo 7m, suspension, exhaust, and a few other nice bits. I spent about 3k on 7m related nonsense, and found out later that the car had a compromised chassis. If I could go back in time, I'd slap myself, buy back my clean...

They'd be on a Mk2 with all of maybe 140whp on it's best day, so that shouldn't be a problem. Yeah, from what I've seen of your car, you'd probably end up high centered in a parking lot somewhere. Ask me how I know. :rolleyes: They ARE the only part of the car that actually makes contact with...

You may not have brackets for it... those are kinda needed if you want the thing to stay in place correctly. Mine didn't have them when I bought the car, but they're not terribly expensive or hard to find. Technically don't even have to have anything there (the bracket will hold the deck up just...

I'm curious where you found lifters in a 7m... Seen plenty of them on 5m heads, and any number of pushrod engines, but...

Future WoS poster? ;)

Eh, I like to think that all my exes are better off having known me, and me having known them. Learned something from every relationship, although after my first long-term one, I was pretty well torn up. Wasn't until the second important ex helped me see myself for what I was worth, and for...

No idea who you are sir, but welcome back, and keep your chin up! :)

I've honestly never had a problem with a winter-appropriate all-season, but I think I'll be getting a set of dedicated snow tires for the Mk2 since the Mk3 is probably seeing it's last winter as we speak. Snow is unpredictable here though, how well do snow tires hold up in above freezing temps...

Really useful Toyota specific calculator: http://akb.norbie.net/Public/Gearing.aspx Stock 1j rev limit of 7200, 3.73 gear, R154 trans, 275/40/17 tire, puts my car's theoretical top speed at about 195. No way in hell would she do that at current power level, and I'm thinking of going with the...

I'd say if it works, don't fix it. In other words... well, you get the point. If it's worked this long, ESPECIALLY at those kinds of conditions, I'd say stick to it. Is logging equipment part of Lemons budget, or would it be considered safety/optional equipment? Sorry, not terribly familiar...

Jalopnik also had a post about the top 10 best forum trolls, a few of these were on there. Check under "answers of the day" on there, it was a couple months back IIRC. Some good stuff...
