Finished installing my new spare tire well, and reinstalled the fuel tank w/ new Stealth pump.

See you around, Razoe. Who knows- maybe you'll come across another MkIII someday, that you just gotta have... ;)

Today was reassembly day on the back end. Got the underside cleaned and undercoated, then reinstalled the tank. Undercoated, muffler shield back in. New fuel filter installed. Tank installed. Wires set up. Still need to run the main power line to the hatch, and...

I had read alot of your build before, and always loved this car. My first two cars were a '77, then a '78 Z, and I've always planned on getting another once I finish my current build. G-nose conversion from Arizona Z-car, back in the day:

Looking great, man. I think the CT's will be a good choice for this motor, with each one being driven by the exhaust from 4(larger) cylinders, rather than 6. Seems like a good balance, as far as power band.

Well, I did the majority of welding yesterday, then today I ground them down, skim-coated them, and painted with bed liner. There is a lip around the perimeter, but I don't mind much; as long as it's not rusty. Tomorrow, I have to re-coat the underside of the hatch area.

I bought a Greddy bar way back around 1996, when I was alot more gullible. But to be honest, I might throw it back on for bling...or sell it on Ebay...dunno...

Nice deductive work. Most people just keep replacing parts till they A) get lucky, or B) run out of money and sell it. Never heard of that issue before, either. And PS- Thank you for posting your remedy. MANY people begin threads, where possible causes and solutions are tossed around by...

Didn't get time to do much today. Helped a friend redo all his calipers/rotors/pads on a subaru. All I got done was a quick trip to Pull-a-Part to grab a fueltank shield, and paint it with bed liner. Mine had a busted mount. Tomorrow, I will get some CO2, and finish welding the tire well.

Hey Pi- What is the significance of the extra two wires in my pigtail?

Well, it's ok. I was trying to get by using argon on mild steel, and it was causing crappy welds. At least this forces me to get some proper CO2 or Co2 mix.

So you're talking about the actual plug that's hanging off the back of the ecu, and not a socket in which to install a plug, correct? I see the same pinouts on my diagram, but looking at my ecu, I actually have 5 wires/ pins in that plug...wierd...

Cut out my spare tire well, and tacked in a replacement.

Thanks. Got around to cutting out the original today. I marked about 1.5 inches lower on each and cut at that point. At this point, the new one is in, and tacked every two inches. Problem is, I ran out of shielding gas, and the store is closed till monday, so...

I think you're ok running the temp sensor where you want to a certain extent, but I don't think you want the pressure sensor on the front side of the throttle plate.

FINALLY, a Supra hits the pull-a-part. It was an '87 maroon na/auto with a grey interior. Amazingly original car, too. Had all the factory parts, from the air filter and under belly pan, to the bolt-on chrome exhaust tips on the Futaba muffler. Now, I've got to do some more...

How do you have the reference lines plumbed?

Wish i had kept it too. My NA had the resevoir, but no pump.

Not much going on here. I've been out of town for the past few days. Just decided on a place for my vac resevoir, and mounted it: This will be used to assure proper vac pressure to the cruise control and HVAC valve. The car was originally na, so it doesn't have the wiring to run the...

Nah, i think i'm good at 2,999. Doh! Damnit!
