Cool. I had bought a brand new set of control arms, and didn't want to destroy brand new bushings, but I found that pushing them out really didn't hurt them. I did this: Same idea, just a different tool. :)

That is an R154 tranny. If the car has TEMS, get Tockico Illumina 2's, for about $450, and get some HR or Eibach springs, for a comfortable, yet sporty ride/ look. I used to have a VW as well, and some of them are Motronic style with a big fuel distributor, while others of the same year were...

I thought it was more of a K-Jetronic system, like the 75-83 Z cars. And I'm glad to see you restoring this car. 99% of the people on here have an emotional attatchment to their Supras, so it's definately worth it to fix, so long as it's worth it to YOU.

Sounds good. ps- I had the Mille Miglia 1000's as my first wheels, too.

It's actually an SIP racing gasket.

Yup. Doing some quick calculations, and assuming a normal amount of material removal by the machine shop, a 3mm head gasket would put me aroun 8:1 CR.

You know what- you got me worried, so I went into the garage and measured it. I'm not quite sure exactly where I'm supposed to measure it, as there are differences in height depending on whether you measure on the bead or not, but it is greater than 2.4mm at it's thinnest. Also, the SIP gasket...

Quick update: My machinist is almost done with the block prep. He's line bored it, balanced/polished the crank, decked it and checked the rods. just going to do the final hone and cleaning. He also took care of ordering my ARP mains, and all the clevite bearings. Received this today: Titan...

Fulcon tiers? Oh! Falken tires. And I've never heard of a Denim chip. He might have been trying to say Dinan chip. Which isn't for Toyota's, so I imagine he's lying. This other car sounds interesting, though.

I believe that Jeff no longer even has to look up the part numbers, he just knows them. $22.96 on Toyota parts zone

What am I looking at- is it a pre-oiler?

Congrats on chasing it down.

I'm not familiar with why you'd have to delete the charcoal cannister for a JDM motor, unless the port on the throttle body isn't there? But the ground under the intake is an eyelet-type ground, of a few wires together. It bolts on the inderside of the intake. Where in GA are you located? I'm...

Ah. And you live where? Seriously, there are some people that can live without it, but I still don't see a need to remove it, either.

I think that just went over my head, but i'm ok with that.

The timing belt slipped a tooth, and popped the clutch... what? As for the electrical, Check to make sure the wiring harness grounds are connected- most importantly, the one under the #6 intake runner. If that's off, all kinds of wacky crap can happen.

I bet it was. All my gospel comes from Australia. :)

Wiseco +.020. I cant tell you how i like them yet, but like Dan said, they sure are pretty.

I dunno why anybody deletes the csi. It improves driveability, and in no way hampers performance. And for that matter, why do people delete the egr system? My 500+ hp motor will be retaining everything, including the evap system, ac, fan clutch, and cruise control.

Update, SIP refunded my money, just as promised. And i turned around and sent back half of it for a 2mm mhg. I also sent an order to Arizona performance for the oil supply tube kit. Machinist is working on my block as i type this.
