    Supras are better than a woman because

    Supras are better than a woman because... 1. ...when it sits in the garage for years and won't put out, you KNOW exactly why ;-) Never have to guess. 2. The Supra will actually TAKE you to the strip club and wait for you to be ready to go home ;-)

    Eibachs and Tokicos height

    You got something else going on... check all the suspension bushings, tierods, etc, etc. Had a frend who's front end sagged a bit with the Suspension Techniques springs, but that was after a couple of years. It may be possible with the Eibach's, but I've never seen it.

    can any one find me a place that has a cheaper new main efi harness

    From any of our Toyota parts sponsors it's easily less than $400, as long as they can still find/get one... I had to wait for mine for a lil' more than a month, 'cause they had to get it from Japan (none in the US at the time).

    How Many People have more than 1 Supra at your house

    Nope... no sisters. She's one of a kind :naughty: Once we finish my swap (the 90 happens to be at Christian's shop too), we'll get her a TT swapped in. She does alot of her own work too (guages, lights, polishing, etc). Yep, I got it good :biglaugh:

    Quit asking how much does it costto do a 1J swap.....

    GOOD INFO!! Ya know... I get weary of all the ppl who challenge what it costs or argue why it costs what it does, to do any swap. Instead, they should focus on the components they need and determine an ESTIMATE from that point. Estimated and actuals are 2 different things and there are...

    injector removal and installation

    I had to replace a CPS on a 2J this last weekend.... Took about 3 Hours. Pulled off the upper plenum/intake and was able to easily access the rail and injectors. This is REALLY what you want to do. Then you won't have to worry that the injectors did not seat properly or that you did not...

    what h/g should i buy

    For the 7M... Cometic. The others are good as well, but they really do require the smoothest of mating surfaces and the tolerances are very narrow. Unless you can get a guaranteed/for-sure RA (?) smoothness necessary for the head and block surfaces, go with the Cometic. If you are not...

    What driveshaft for a R154 2jzgte MK3 SUPRA?

    If using the R154, you'll use the 7M/R154 driveshaft (assuming using the 1JZ JZA70 bellhousing).

    My latest 2JZ swap cost (yours?)

    ^^ Well... my thought is that the 2J is kinda the latest in swaps (available engines) and in another 5+ years, we'll be swapping in even newer engines. The 2J's got alot more goodies readily available (as far as bolt on). For me the 1J was an interim step. The MKII guys will be swapping in...

    My latest 2JZ swap cost (yours?)

    WOW! Are you sure that's not fo rthe N/A? I dunno if there's a difference between the 2, but I paid over $200 for mine (from Toyota) a few years back, tho my brother in FL could get us a generic hook-up from a parts supplier for about $90. Never seen 'em that low... that's even cheaper than a...

    My latest 2JZ swap cost (yours?)

    I haven't tried yet, but I don't think so. There is a difference in the exhaust flange size between the US and JDM 2Js tho. I have a downpipe for a US TT, but it looks like I'll have to fab something up anyways (it ain't gonna work). Can someone send me a 1J downpipe to try? Will be...

    My latest 2JZ swap cost (yours?)

    Probably not much.... Just gotta make sure that the engine set you get has all the electronics (MAP sensor, igniter, and all that). Still, it doesn't save you much, whereas if you got the clip, you can sell off the extra stuff and have the extra connectors to make jumper harnesses to the...

    My latest 2JZ swap cost (yours?)

    There are many variables to consider and if you plan to go that route, it's simple to just collect and buy stuff cheap along the way, that you know you will need. I put approximate costs for somethings, but it can vary a great deal, depending on what you plan to do. There's a thread in SF...

    The Supra Gods are a cruel bunch!

    As far as your nite... getting brought up and then being let down. Get used to it, it's why we are all here for the car we love to hate ;-) You will be suprised at all of the seemingly unrelated stuff that is fixed by something you wouldn't have thought of. The cig lighter fuse is one I...

    My latest 2JZ swap cost (yours?)

    Using an R154 = $325 for the bellhousing and using a 5-speed driveshaft, so I woulda saved about $300 overall (subtracting the custom driveshaft and Apexi speed/rev meter), compared to using the auto which came with the TT clip. I have everything needed to use the 5-speed, but wanted an auto...

    The Supra Gods are a cruel bunch!

    Heat soak... My previous 7M would not start until around 20 minutes after being shut down... Do a search on heat soak and you'll see quite a few things that you can check out.... Sounds like you still got a pretty good deal.
