Hey now- I've been driving this sweet 94 Civic DX auto with 3 of it's 4 13" hubcaps. I'm in the middle of my engine replacement, so it's the Civic for now. But you know, the more I drive it, the more I realize how incredibly fast this rocket is....I'm thinking of selling the Supra...

Sounds like you're doing almost the exact same prep job as mine. I used the tool i post #5 on my build thread- http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47861 it was made for import and motorcycle engines. The metal tool you see is the installer. It has an adjustable depth collar...

Hi guys, I searched, but only found a mention of this about a 1jzgte- How hard is it to replace both the front input shaft seal, and the rear ouput seal on the R154? Do I just have to pop out the old, and pop in the new one on the rear, and for the front, just unbolt the front input shaft...

I used to drive the 7mgte w/ w58. Like everyone has said, it's a great combo, but you'll need a better clutch.

I bought a gauge pod 6 years ago. It's not an A-pillar replacement, just the pod, but it was for a 2nd gen eclipse, and fits great, with pretty much zero modifications. Painted it with a maroon paint, and it's a perfect color match.

Sweet! Congrats on the payoff to your hard work. Get the exhaust done so we can see some flyby videos. : )

Well, I pretty much completed the engine now, and now it's time to mate it to the tranny. Unfortunately, that'll have to wait till after the weekend. :icon_mad: Here's how it looks as it is now; One thing kinda sucks, though- I just found out that my remote oil adapter - the part...

The latest- The wiring harness is installed, the cps, Tstat housing and coil pack/ plug wires are installed, as well as all the under-intake vacuum junk. The only thing I have left to install(besides the tranny) is the PS resevoir, so I'm pretty happy.

Man, this is taking alot longer than I anticipated. I was hoping to be able to just pull the old engine out, swap over the accessories, etc. and slide the new one back in...HA! was I dreaming or what? Aside from the fact that I've been out of town 10 of the last 15 days, I have been busy...

Have you tried Champion Toyota? They usually beat all dealer prices, especially on the more expensive items.

Yeah, You HAVE to put in a driveshaft loop if you go one piece. It's just too dangerous without one.

What are the clearances supposed to be on the exhaust side? Are yours in English or metric? I thought it was supposed to be around .2-.3mm? I can't remember. Anyway, I bought them from www.Goodson.com Much cheaper than factory.

Hmm. I seem to be the only one on here that's bought from the Driveshaft Shop. I got a 1 piece aluminum unit. Looks great, but I'm in the middle of my engine swap, and so it's about to go in. Hopefully, I can give a review of it within the week.

Small update, I received the new ARP's today. I used my new bottoming tap to clean all the crud out of the bottom threads of the bolt holes, then I lubed up the Arp's and mounted them. I also dremeled off the dubious rivet on the Cometic HG, just as a precaution. Once I had lowered the head...

Yeah, I saw that. Would be nice if it bolts in like stock, and accepts the side seals/ inner liner like stock.

I did it on mine(88). Doesn't take an SST to do it, but you need to take the shimmy damper mount off. As I recall, it's a pain in the arse, but then all you do is inscrew the tie rod(s).

Thanks. Well, I'm getting them from HPF, so I'm sure it'll be fine. I tapped the head bolt holes in the block to day, but I need a bottom tap, because the test stud binds before I can get it seated all the way down. Anyone know who sells bottom taps?

Well, it seems like some of the rivets are right near the edge, but aren't going to be sandwiched between the head and block. Did they later revise the HG to correct this? I'm going to look at that front rivet,

I searched the threads on the Cometic HG, but couldn't find this info; Which one of the rivet was causing people problems? I test fitted the HG and the head, and I didn't think that any of them were interfering, but I want to be sure. Which one should I be specifically inspecting? Thanks.

Here are the pics of what I've been doing... The engine, looking tired. About ready to pull. Oops. Nuff said. The engine/tranny pulled. First time I've done it together. I like. Location of my remote oil filter. The Long oil cooler, behind the IC. The pushloc...
