    Whats odd about this guage cluster....

    Er, my N/A cluster has a speedo that goes to 160, the UKDM turbo's are the same. Although yes, your voltage gauge looks wonk.

    Engine Rebuild

    Personally, i'm going 1JZ, but will still have to go and get most of the parts from the US - i suppose with the pound being worth almost twice as much as the $, it certainly cant hurt to order from the US. There is a place called TDX in the UK (Google for it), that sells Japanese Parts. For the...

    Engine Rebuild

    Greetings fellow UK owner. I too seem to be finding that Supra's are more a US thing with regards to parts, i've only ever been able to find stuff either on eBay or at the stealership. I've had a quick look through ebay and seen the following items that might be of some help...

    Why did YOU go 1JZ?

    The reason i'm swapping to a 1JZ is mainly, I want turbos and more aftermarket part availability. 7M-GTE is a good engine, if your supra came with one, no point swapping to a 1JZ at all, just build power with it. Then again, i'm N/A and although swapping to a 7M-GTE is cheaper, its not really...

    crazy idea

    I've seen cars that have been converted to pickup's before and all of me screams 'nooooo!!!!!' Whoever chops the back off a supra and makes it into a pickup will incur my wrath :P

    As anyone else alone am I am?

    I think its simply a matter of location. Some people here live nearby and can offer support, some people live in the middle of nowhere, or like me, in a different country. Dont feel left out, there are plenty of other people in your situation.

    Going 1JZ...

    Well it seemed like a personal 'dig' at me for having an idea. However, the idea wasn't just to get out a drill and a jigsaw to make a hole to fit a whipple in, it was going to be done by professionals....with...erm...drills and jigsaw's. I'll leave supercharging to non-supra applications and...

    Going 1JZ...

    No. After your 'Cletus' branding, i thought 'why bother even trying, obviously i'm going to catch nothing but flak'. So i thought of other ways to invest my money.

    Going 1JZ...

    Lol - it is now! I dont have as much time for games now as i used to, and having an Opteron Rig with a GeForce 7600GT will see me through until after christmas. Then again, Crysis comes out in a month or two, and my willpower may crumble :D

    Going 1JZ...

    $1900 isnt enough on its own, but i've decided not to spend the other £1000 i had bookmarked, on building a new PC, and put that towards the supra as well, which brings the total amount in U$D to $3800, which is easily enough to get the engine, box, loom and ancillaries, at least based on the...

    I decided not to sell the car, this is true. Then again, i've just had money come in unexpectedly, so now i dont have to :)

    Going 1JZ...

    I've finally decided what i'm going to do with my £1000. After having a mechanic friend of mine check the car over for me, and been given the 'good to go', i've decided that rather than going for a touch up and a little rust repair (which apparrently is only mild bubbling at worst), i'm going to...

    TCCS Checker

    Wow. If that were slightly cheaper, i'd buy that right now. Gone over $300 though, never mind eh, someones going to get a good deal. On the other hand, maybe we could find the buyer and bribe him into loaning it to us....or we intercept it for the good of the forum! :D
