Emissions requirements ran out on my '88 here in Georgia this year, but just like my '86 MR2, I'll be running full emissions regardless. I think it's silly not to on a road car. After all, it doesn't kill performance at all, and I don't think it impacts mileage much either.

My email addy since 1995, back when you had to install the AOL cd, and listen to modem static, and "You've got mail!"

I don't think he means that. A duck tail wing or spoiler would be something that mounts flush to the rear deck. And I infer from Absolutespeed that he would simply want it to have mounting points identical to the oem spoiler's, so that you could just bolt it on, and not have to worry about...

Well, of course it's hard to see if you're back behind the differential. :D

He's saying it's not the tps. Clear answers never come from J.J. They always require the recipient to do some thinking.

Yes, you're missing your egr cooler plate thingy, but you need to verify that you have the egr valve itself. The plate simply acts as a channel for the exhaust gases to move from the right side of picture 2(where the rightmost blockoff plate is), to the open hole on the left side. That gas...

You say that the intake cam is at a 10:30 position @tdc? Both cams should have their timing marks lined up to the timing marks on the upper rear timing cover when at tdc. Verify that your #1 piston is indeed at tdc by pulling the spark plug and checking, rather than relying on the lower cover...

Good point. If the pp is completely unbolted, then the fork is not the issue.

All I'm going to say is- people named Supraguy are not allowed to give up on their cars. :)

The Kaminari whaletail is sort of a ducktail spoiler, but a little bit bigger than most people like

Did you pull the clutch fork straight out yet? If not, THAT is your last 'bolt'. Be ready for the tranny to just drop out after that.

Sounds good to me.

I do plan on porting/polishing the replacement head. It looked fine, i just figured i'd use my old head since it already had the p&p work done. Fact is, though, that the replacement head is not stripped out on the ex. studs, and the cams look to be in better shape as well. Also, i measured the...

Yes.

The Kaminari wing was the perfect middle ground between stock and the Greddy/Gracer.

I don't think my Supra will be on the road by then, but if it's a Celica/Supra/Mr2 meet(the entire Toyota old-school sport lineup), I'll attend, lol.

Well, the head has been dropped off at the machine shop, and I picked up my zinc parts: Now, every nut, bolt and bracket that hasn't been zinc'ed is going to make the engine bay look horrible, lol.

My fault. I used a cheapo coolant, rather than Toyota red. I kept telling myself i needed to switch back, but i never got around to it. It took about 5 years to erode to that point.
