I won't be putting in a new clutch for a while. I want to pay off a major loan first (couple months), and I'm considering doing a TH400 swap. Not sure yet, but for now the debt comes first. And with my busy schedule, that's a very good idea.

Saturday night was worse. I only bested 13.9 at 103 MPH. Time to replace my clutch since it's slipping. Although I may be going, brace yourselves, automatic. I only say this because of consistant times and maintained boost pressures. I'll be talking to a machinist who is intimately familiar...

kmfdmk, you will have to go to www.portlandraceway.com to find out the track times. I won't be back at the track for a while, my clutch is fried. Duane, I know my 60' times suck, but my clutch is slipping and it's time to replace it again. That pass I made against the Mustang we both...

PIR is city owned. The only track in America that's city owned IIRC. They only put the noise restriction into effect after 10 or 11 PM.

Those are the first passes I've ever made (I'm not counting my 1 extremely pass I made a month ago that netted me a 16.9 second pass). I'm running 13 pounds of boost.

I'm not sure what's going on with my times. Theoretically I should be running a good half second quicker. Oh well. We'll see how I do tomorrow night.

Took the Supra to Portland International Raceway tonight. I made 5 passes before being kicked out for being too loud (91 db). Here's my time slips. I figured out when I should launch, but only bested 13.864 seconds at 103.62 MPH with an RT of .586 (my best RT was .129 on my last pass). I'm...

Ok, that's what I thought Randy. I'll get an engine hoist shortly.

I jacked the motor up as much as I could using blocks, but it got to the point where I was lifting the entire car and not just the motor. Guess I'll have to buy an engine hoist. Adam

I need to swap out the square motor mount on my pre-89 1J with BIC adaptor brackets. Question is, is this possible to do without an engine hoist? I am using a jack right now, but I cant get the motor to raise enough. :1zhelp:

Thanks. I still have a long ways to go. I'm almost done upgrading my suspension. It's to the point where I can take a hard 90 turn at 40 MPH and the tires will break free before the body will roll. And that says a lot when you consider just how sticky and wide my tires are. My Supra is my...

For right now, I really need to pay off my debt. I figure I can pay off my car in 3-6 months. Hell, I put $1000 on my car loan last night, and I'm putting another $400+ on it Friday. With all my tip money going towards my credit cards. Adam

Dude, make up your mind. I've seen you go through what, 6 sets of rims in the last year. The wheels look good, although I don't care for the stretched tires (makes the wider wheels pointless). Adam

Car's been stuttering at high RPM at WOT. I just shrink wrapped the coil packs, now it runs like a gem. :D Also, I got BIC solid motor mounts the other day, those will be going in Saturday hopefully.

I know bro, although you're leaving for Iraq shortly. And yet again, I decided to be responsible and pay my debt down vs. upgrading.

Whoops. I was thinking of Brian U. Maybe I'd be a serious baller and build both a twin turbo setup and a big single setup? One of the 1/4 mile and highway, the other for the twisties. :D The deal was just too good to pass up. Estimated cost at $3500, including stand-alone ECU.

Looks amazing. Although on page 21 the page number on the sheet reads "1-3" instead of "1-7". Just thought I'd mention that. I look forward to seeing the rest of the manual.

I've seen the price you're asking Darian, too rich for my blood right now. I'm buying the turbo and manifold because I'm getting a really good deal. Still have a few other things to get before I can install the setup though. Namely FMIC, 50mm wastegate, BOV and flange, new cold air intake...

I've made up my mind. I'm going to stay with the 1J. Ordering a used Greddy T78 turbo and manifold (non-Greddy) that came off a 1J. Adam
