...and then he pops the hood to replace the head gasket at the end? :p I've seen a couple trucks like this with Supra engines, always makes me happy... always worth a laugh seeing a truck on a dyno too, they way they rock about when power comes on, or let off at the end...

Good to hear you're doing better man, and thanks for not posting up that picture out in the open. :)

Sounds like the Buick Special, and yes... it rapes most competition. Look at the weight and tell me that is in any way realistic for an American car of that era though... I think it's something like 2200lbs if I'm not mistaken. One of my favorites though... I find that the British Lightweight...

The Evolution 2.5 Cosworth engine was in that one, correct? If so, I'd probably lean toward one of those, boy racer looks aside. But then again, the E30 M3 was a pretty cool car... Damn. Good pick man, I'm not usually a Euro guy, but I could live with either of the halo versions of these cars. :)

x3. I can't stand FWD from a "working on it" perspective, talk about cluttered... I agree 100%. I think if you design it, you should have to work on a prototype, or their technicians should. If it is too difficult for your average shade tree mechanic, then it should probably be redesigned... oh...

What does 7k get you on the used market? A 7-8 year old economy car? I'll keep my Supra, thanks. ;) Also, something to note, flywheels are engine specific, where clutches are transmission specific. Just trying to clear that up if there's any confusion...

Don't you mean crank breaker?

That's too bad, but definitely seems like a good option for those with 18's or bigger! :) Perhaps I missed something, but is this a 4 piston caliper with a larger body than the 6 piston? I mean, if you could somehow manage to squeeze in a 6 piston and 13.5" rotor under a 17" wheel and have...

It's been said before, but buying someone's project is often MUCH cheaper in the long run. Just be prepared to chase down a few loose ends and bugs. :)

Holy good eyes Batman! I totally didn't even see it. Someone get this man a cookie! ...it wouldn't have taken all day to hit 88mph? ;)

Hey, could be worse... my brother tends to call mine a Daytona... I just go with it now, it's kinda funny. Maybe I should start telling people that's what mine is. Considering there's more Daytona's on the road around here, it seems more likely. :p Reminds me of a guy I knew in Phoenix a while...

This sort of thing (sudden massive problem) never really surprises me with Supras, and, as much as I love the 7m... it happens to us all. Has this happened to you before? If not, I'd suggest that your car is just testing your faith. Don't be so quick to sell, let it sit for a week or so, think...

I would PM ARZ or post up in his section, you might get better responses there. As for the ABS on the JZA70 transmission, I believe you can just knock the plug out and use the 7m's ABS sensor, although the transmission you have likely has a speedo gear set for the 4.10 ratio differential, which...

Maybe in 1999... As for mine, if I had just dropped it in as it was shipped, ~$2300. However, I was a bit smarter, and did all the maintenance and freshening up I didn't wanna do with the engine IN the car first. Between the gasket set, TPS (mine broke in shipping I suspect), fluids, serpentine...

Err... 240/180sx? Pretty sure that wasn't a Supra. ;)

Hvyman, mid 400's? That's easy enough NA without major modification... that's pathetic. Response would be devastatingly slow, so I can't give it any sort of recommendation.

Rear Mk4 NA wheels are 16x8, if I remember correctly the fronts are 16x7, but I could be mistaken. 16x9 rear and 16x8 front? That sounds more like it, doesn't it? Anyway, turbo Mk4 wheels are 17x9.5 rear and 17x8 front. If you can find a set, FD wheels are nice and light, not to mention pretty...

Freaked me out a bit, showing a picture of the Supra, then switching to the CELICA's engine... haha, fooled me for a second. :p

Haha, the guys down there at Earnhardt over in Mesa used to LOVE me, I was down there every few days getting parts for the 7m when I had it... By the way, don't we already have a thread of this nature somewhere? I forget...

I'm still impressed man, good job! Still don't see how you're doing that much pressure on a CT...
