Based on his interior color being burgundy, I really can't see any sort of blue or green, period. Unless he's willing to swap out interiors, I suggest pearl black, the mahogany or burgundy pearl(I seem to be agreeing alot with you lately, Absolute Speed), OR a graphite/ dk gray color.

Yes: Most people(including myself) would suggest either Eibach or H&R springs, paired up with tockico blue, KYB or(if you're baller) Koni or Bilstein struts. Koni's cost more, but you can adjust their stiffness. Poly bushings- Most people go with Energy suspension, because they're affordable...

Helicoiled the head up to 7/16" today. taped up all the openings. LOTS of aluminum shavings to deal with. Test fit of the manifold. I had to port it quite a bit to match it up to the gasket(ports weren't even round). Happy with the results

Don't recall, to be honest. Might have been the DNJ set from Rockauto. They're listed as cylinder head plugs, which is a bit weird.

And I'm assuming that's the rarest usdm Supra color?

Lol. Why couldn't I have known this BEFORE last night.? Maybe some button head bolts would have fit behind it, but I definitely want to run the backing plate.

Getting there... Had a small setback yesterday. After I installed the head, I installed my AEM cam gears and torqued them down. Tried to check rotation of the cams, and neither one would budge a single millimeter. I started freaking out in my mind, wondering if pistons were hitting valves...

Ditto. My mom had a corona mkII. It was one of her favorite cars ever. And yeah- an engine cover would be a novel idea, or perhaps two smaller covers that hide most of the junk on the inner fenders...

IF you're getting pulse to the injector plugs, and IF your injectors have proper impedance, and IF you can hear them clicking(opening), then the only thing it could be, is either a blocked rail, or blocked injectors. Does that logic sound right?

The mounts are factory. ...just a different factory... :)

Thanks, Super51. I don't really yet think of it as a car. More like large groups of parts for 4 stages of building.

Looking good. Keep the build updated for us!

Love the name!

Complete head. Relapped one intake and 2 exhaust valves, and then did the shim-shim twostep. I swear, adjusting valve clearance takes at least two tries per cam, no matter how carefully i measure.

lol

Well, I'm pretty old, so... :)

In other words, the USDM ecu turns vac to the egr OFF when not needed?

Less tumble?

LOL. Yes, I think an aftermarket rack will do fine, thankyouverymuch.

Valves installed. Leak testing the valves, to see if the lapping was adequate. Oops. So far, I have to re-lap intake valve #1 on cylinder 4. Yes, it's koolaid. shut up. ;)
