    I've got the time off work, and the kids can start school without me. Hopefully the car will be ready, but no promises there. I'm gonna make sure Jay is not the only Bama redneck to make the trip

    Post your best Pic

    Maybe the mew motor will be able to lay down some of it's own black lines behind the car. And my new favorite picture. Far from the best it will ever take, but best so far. We old timers used to drive our cars jacked up in the back like this, but it's what's going on in the front that gave...

    Lucy - Im home!

    I too would sooner or later be interested in one if you started making them again, Pete. And the new DD is OK I guess, but is surely no Lucy. Clean it up, and make it run correctly, and I'm sure it will be a very nice car for you or somebody else if that is the plan. Sooner or later you WILL...

    ForcedTorque's 3E5 has Arrived!!!!!

    That's where me and you differ Ken! I'll buy the parts and install the bumper, but I'll pay the body shop to do my molding in of the sides. It's a little bit of catching up to you that I didn't think I would be able to do, but side by side you will still probably have me beat when I get done...

    ForcedTorque's 3E5 has Arrived!!!!!

    First......Your bumper is a G-Spec? And, Where did you get it for $265. I thought you bought from shine auto. They want $365 for it now. As soon as he answers a couple of questions, I will be making that purchase. And I have to go look for a frontal of your car now. Just ask Jim if I've...

    I don't think I had a chance to welcome you to the site supradude. Looks like you have great taste in threads. Pete has been a great part of this community. Yes, Lucy was a masterpiece that after the headache, anyone could be proud of. But, before Lucy, Pete seemed very happy with Two really...

    ForcedTorque's 3E5 has Arrived!!!!!

    I made some decisions today! First I am going to buy the shine auto A70 Spec G Bumper. It is very stock looking with a two hole lip built in. And the lower grille is gone, and a slighly different shape than just a cut out grille. AND, I also sent a deposit to Blackkarma for his Bomex Side...

    Taking off Fuel Rail

    OK... now that makes sense. Extensions and swivels make it alot easier though. I've done them many times without, and it is a pain in the arse. My motor is hanging on my engine lift almost completely assembled. If you need pics of anything let me know, and I'll be glad to step outside the...

    Taking off Fuel Rail

    So....Uummm....Why are you removing the fuel rail to get to the EGR???? The bolts to the EGR are to the right of the fuel rail. Granted it is a pain in the ass to get to them, but you shouldn't need to remove the rail.

    That's a possible, but I'm not too fond of that seller. I also found this one from Shino Auto last night. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-MKIII-Supra-A70-Spec-G-Bumper-Aero-Body-

    Well, I finally got off my ass and took some pictures. The intercooler...sitting on top of my stock one. Length and height are the same. The new one is a good bit thicker, and hopefully the pressure drop won't be near as bad as the old. my newest fear.....installing this My...

    I hope this thread is still going when I get finished! The best I have is in the sig right now. But the original thread poster has a lot to do with what is coming.

    ForcedTorque's 3E5 has Arrived!!!!!

    I was just looking at wills7mgte" thread with his install of this IC. It looks like the same thing. In the box it looks small, but mounted on the car, it looks pretty good. I'll get it out of the box tomorrow.

    ForcedTorque's 3E5 has Arrived!!!!!

    Ya, that's the one. Was your's small? or did I possibly get the wrong thing? My stuff did all come in a box marked S13/S14. I doubt Aaron would have screwed up, just used whatever box all my stuff would fit in.

    ForcedTorque's 3E5 has Arrived!!!!!

    I just was a little shocked at the size of the Intercooler. It seems a little small to me. I'll compare it to my stock one tomorrow. Maybe it's thicker??? It is pretty! I sure hope it is more effective than stock.

    Lucy is a beautiful car! I'm sad to see it go. I hope you can find it within yourself to emulate Tanya, and still frequent the site while owning a MKII..................Wait......I haven't seen much of Tanya lately either. And........You don't own a MKII yet. Just don't turn you back on us Pete...

    ForcedTorque's 3E5 has Arrived!!!!!

    Not a good day here, or at the hospital. Here, I got my clutch swapped out, and struggled with lining up the tranny and motor for a while. When I finally got it bolted up, it had a grind from the clutch area, letting me know that I must have put the disc in backwards. As I started to make up...
