LOL! Awesome!

Having a wife that falls in love with a beat up, blown-motor, 20+ year old import....PRICELESS... Sounds like a nice situation- You get the turbo motor stuff, you get to use your NA from the Cress in her car, you get the 5spd, and she gets an auto...sounds like a lot of work, but everybody...

They look ok for sure, but I'm a big fan of hyperblack.

Great idea, Zero- I like it! It might be a bit too 'bling' for me to have the entire pax side of the dash light up, but I could always paint the back of it black except for the supra logo.

You also want to make sure you choose the right impedance injectors for your car. You didn't say what year your is, but I know that the 87-88 turbos are low impedance injectors.

I got the harmonics in my W58, but that tranny was a little worn. In my R154, the SOGI mod causes no vibration.

Sell the 5.0 and get a 7mgte swap. It'll drop right in, and you'll have a car 10x more unique than a 5.0. I mean- I can't swing a dead cat without hitting a mustang...but a supra? rare. Also, it's my opinion that a MkIII supra just feels better to drive than a mustang, especially if you have...

LOL! Hell- I thought ALL supra owners left a 14mm wrench back there- it's easier than trying to get it out, only to have to get it back up there the next time you change starters or clutches... :biglaugh:

I know you said that the sound is coming from the rear of the motor, but also, a loose crank pully will definately gives you RK sounds.

remember that you'll hear the injectors tapping quite loudly, so see if it's a high tapping noise- clicking, or a lower tone. Best of all, use a mechanic's stethescope to find out where the noise is coming from.

Just FYI, I failed emissions this year for NOx, and it turned out to be the cat of all things! I went over the vacuum control of the egr and the egr itself many times, only to pass with flying colors once I replaced the relatively new cat.

I think the torque setting for the use of motor oil as a lube might have been closer to 100 IIRC, but I wouldn't go that high, Munky- Just use 80 with the lube, and if you find it leaks, you can always torque down more.

LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY!!!! DO NOT LET THAT AFPR LINE GO ANYWHERE NEAR THAT EXPOSED ALTERNATOR WIRE!!! That is a positive lead, and guess what- Your AFPR line is grounded. Wanna see you new engine melt down in a hurry?

Sometimes when your throwout bearing or pilot bearing is getting worn, you'll hear/feel a ticking/vibration when the clutch is disengaged or partially engaged, but it goes away when you fully engage the clutch pedal.

I remember the first time I had a IC coupler pop off under the car- I thought it was the end. Huge amounts of black smoke, didn't like idling, and the turbo would whistle like it was a tea kettle on full tilt.

Well, I *might* roll by there, as I know the owners of Twisted Taco nearby.

Curious if you could just make an extra set of etch boards. : )

Just curious. Didn't see it mentioned here.

SO? He didn't say that the 'house' doesn't have wheels on it... Could be a triple-wide. Besides- he only CLAIMS there's a 7 bedroom house behind the camera. Check this out: [/IMG] You see a motor, right? What you don't see is that while taking it, I was getting a hand-job from Jessica...

That sucks man, but from the pics, it looks like both the door and trunk alignments are still perfect. Hope it's something that can be repaired.
