    1jzgte Vs 2jzgte (aristp)

    Hey bigA... Got your PM... We're all good. I apologize for getting on the soap box in these type of threads. However, there are 2 things that I attempt to do. 1. Prevent further infighting in our shrinking community. Anytime these threads are started, ppl get flamed attacked, or...

    1jzgte Vs 2jzgte (aristp)

    I've done both swaps, and driven both (still prefer the 2J for many reasons, none are performance-related). The only reason you can't do most swaps in a weekend is planning. If you had all the info and HW ready, it'd be the same. Mine and most ppl's hold-ups are counting on other ppl to...

    1jzgte Vs 2jzgte (aristp)

    Having done the swaps as well... now werkin' on an Aristo 2JZ swap into the MKIII.... It's all relative... If you get a 1JZ out of a Soarer, you will have all of the same issues as installing a 2JZ... You will need... 1. Mid-rear sump oilpan 2. motor mount brackets from a JZA70 3...

    Tokico Blues

    Have had my blue Tokico non-adjuststables since '98 on several diff Sups... no problems with my Eibachs. As far as being blown, everything I've seen about the blown ones suggest that ppl did not keep or replace the bumpstops (especially in the front). Anyways, for ~$200 a set and a couple of...

    anyone ever have a problem with tokico warranty

    A friend of mine dealt w/em. They covered his struts; lifetime. However, they required him to send the bad strut in 1st, which left his car sitting for a couple of weeks. Basically, it's covered, not convenient and they only replace the blown one (not in pairs). In his case, they replaced...

    i got my wallet stolen

    I grew up in da hood and can tell you that when you are poor, you learn to steal at a very early age. Seen 'em as young as 8, pull off good scams to get minor, stupid stuff. I used to return soft drink bottles for a deposit. Spent all day looking around and would have a few dollar's worth...

    1JZGTE Plug colapse

    I've had the porcelain fall in and used some duct tape, wrapped around a wire/coathanger (sticky-side out), to fish most of it out. I dunno if you have metal in the cylinder, but once you get all the major pieces out, you should be able to install another plug and fire it up. The remaining...

    i got $3500 - how would you spend it?

    Dunno where you are located, but for less than half of your budget, I have everything you need to put a turbo auto or maybe 5-speed in it... including dash and body harness, electronics (from behind the dash too), intrcooler, oil cooler, engine harness, 3" downpipe/elbow, etc etc....(3-piece...

    The $2145.00 lesson!

    ...or call the court and request delays. Maybe by the time you make it in, they'll not penalize U as muh. Oh yeah... get rid of the lab, stop smoking pot, and don't kill anyone at work ;-) When they resurfaced the lot where I used to work, I'd take the kids out there on rainy nites and...

    Vvt And Non Vvt.

    PPl make deals with me all the time!! :evil5: Nothing's impossible ;-) Basically, both engines are the same and contrary to popular belief, there are a few high HP VVTis running around. The two I'm aware of are at over 600 and 900 HP each. There are alot of aftermarket options and...
