My god that thing is a monster. I wonder if it's daily driveable? How often does it need to be rebuilt? Adam

What kind of wood is that suprahoops? Looks like cherry to me. My god that thing is gorgeous! Adam

Your car is winking at me. I think it wants to be upgraded more :biglaugh: Nice build so far. Keep it going. Adam

What was the idiot driving anyways? I know what you were driving. BTW, I second the lack of pics. Adam

Got some white primer spray paint and silver spray paint, along with some 220/320/400/600 grit sand paper, to paint the rear storage area compartent covers and my Supra Stick. Put on the first coat of primer, now the silver. Once this coat is dry, I'll wet sand it until it's smooth, then put a...

Thanks Rich.

Damn, Cryo was right. Adam

The N/A manual version came with the 5-speed W58 (just like the MKIII's). The TT manual version got the Getrag 6-speed (which is pretty bullet proof). The gearing ratios are different too. Also, the wheels on the TT are wider in the back (275 IIRC) and 245's up front. The N/A had either 225...

:biglaugh: :biglaugh: :biglaugh: Nice Mike, way to steal from the wife. I've seen people killed for less than a stolen IPod.:biglaugh: Adam

Anybody know where there is a write-up on how to replace the valve stem seals on a 1J? I think my friends car may have blown them? Also, how long for a 1st time replacement and what tools are needed? Thanks guys. Adam

I just talked to my friend, he said it smokes when you punch it. I hope you are right about being the valve stem seals. I'll take vid tomorrow.

I'm selling this car for my friend. I have no intention of keeping the car. I just want to sell it. I'll be getting the car tomorrow, so I'll check it out and take some pics. I'm thinking either the valve stem seals are bad, or the turbos. Adam

What if I replace the turbos? How much do you guys think I could get? Adam

The motor isn't blown, only the turbos. And that's an easy fix (replace with fresh set in about 8 hour, instructions can be found online).

I can't do anything really until I get the car, and my car, so I can swap everything over. Once I do, then I'll put it up for sale. Adam

Since my friend is selling his 88 1J, I'm also taking the short throw shifter from him. Very nice shifter, MKI brand. Very smooth, not notchy at all and great throw. I've also started to build new storage area container covers out of good wood. I'm thinking of painting them glossy black...

The white one is the one I'm selling. The burgandy 90 is what my 1J used to be in, now it's scrap metal (litterally). The Gay Blue car is my work in progress. I'll be getting it back from the motor swap shortly so I can install my pile of goodies (see build thread). The car runs, but the...

This is the only pic I could find, my old sig. If someone can photochop the other 2 cars out (the 2 in my sig), that would be nice. Adam

What is this car worth? My friend who doesn't post anywhere is in need of selling his white 88 targa 1J. The body is an N/A, with a dent in the right rear quarter panel (corner where the tail light is). It has a TorSen 4.10 diff and stock sawblades with brand new tires (less than 500 miles on...

The rear subframe is stronger IIRC. And it's also RHD. Some models also came with digital guage clusters, and there was the limited edition Turbo R edition (Recaro interior). Adam
