    7M-GE + Supercharger?

    There *has* to be room to put it somewhere and NOT remove any of the A/C, Power Steering etc. What about custom fabricating brackets for accessories? That way, you could bunch stuff up and shunt it around whilst still having room for the supercharger ;)

    7M-GE + Supercharger?

    What about on the opposite side then, between....err....i dunno what its between, cause i cant look at the engine bay - but on the same side as the air filter. After all, the whole crossover pipe will have to be changed if you mounted a 'charger there... Where did the 1G-GZE have its...

    Can you buy the 7m as a crate motor from toyota?

    Although - with a Magnetic Clutch setup like A/C compressors have, it wouldnt be impossible to accomplish the on/off supercharger. Just have a bypass butterfly valve for the 'off' ;)

    Can you buy the 7m as a crate motor from toyota?

    Yeah - the 71/72 XB's ;) I still have, albeit collecting dust cause its too expensive to drive or insure, a '72 Falcon with an 428cu in V8 in it with a 'charger. Got the Arcadipane nose & rear wing on it too. As far as replica's go, it's pretty good, although after being sat for a number of...

    $1850 :) Unfortunately, the high cost of car ownership here, coupled with the lack of garages that wont rip you off, is a problem :(

    illegal mods

    Yeah they're massively bright - 35watt - more than the brake lights! :aigo: Most EU spec cars have to come with front and rear fog lights now - they've been required on any car made after 1986, as well as the ability to dip your main beams.

    illegal mods

    I think here in the UK - the rolling exemption was cut off at 1979 unfortunately, although cars all the way up until 1991 didnt have to have anything like a Catalytic converter, and they werent even mandatory until late 1992. Thats why almost all our Supra's are Cat free ;) Vehicles still have...
