    supras

    I always see the posts where they are asking "how to finance/afford" the MKIV Supra... My guess is that many have paid the "amount/difference" in bluebook value and financed the rest. basically paying $30K for an $18K (bluebook) car. Whatever they've saved or borrowed, they use to cover the...

    2JZ Auto tranny in MKIII?

    Hmmmm now that you ask, I can't really tell. Tho I believe you end up with 2J's bellhousing/body, but the "tail" is that from the 7M tranny. Looks like a PITA and he says "Let's hope it works!!!!" I sure wish I knew for sure, before I start tearing things apart. I'll have to email him...

    brake line help!

    Yeppers! That's why I was asking... figured I could really get in there when I pull the 7M again. Where'd you get the lines, Toyota? Already bent/shaped?

    2j fan update

    I used the 2J waterpump/fan setup with the 1J and with the 2J, with the stock radiator and never seemed to have any cooling issues. Although, I did end up with water in the oil on the 2J and think it was a BHG (but I have yet to open it up).

    brake line help!

    Not to hijack, but if things still hadn't worked out, how hard would it have been to replace the hardlines "end-to-end?"

    Going on a date Friday, what should I do?

    What the stalker is saying is that by June, he'll be locked in the "special" room... He'll depend on her completely!!! Hmmm, now what movie was that ;-) I had a stalker once... she even found out my friend's/family's numbers and would call looking for me... whew!

    2j fan update

    Dang, sorry to hear about that... I know that with the 1Jand 2J there was very little clearance to work with, with just the stock radiator. I'm considering some elctric fans for my upcoming 2J swap (yes, again;-).... mixed reviews/feelings. Let us know how it turns out.

    1JZ JZA70 motor mount brackets??

    I think I may need one, since I can't find it in my stash. Dunno which side I do have for sure tho, so I may take both if anyone's got 'em. It'd be the aluminum brackets that the motor mounts go on. I can pay to borrow 'em 'til I finish diggin' thru my stuff or buy 'em outright. I have a...

    Going on a date Friday, what should I do?

    You guys are out in Ft Worth..... If anything, we could have a BBQ and ya'll can "come over." Just say... a friend of mine's having a cookout... wanna come? Then, you don't have to figure out small-talk, etc. We all hang out talk different stuff, you take a look at all that 7M stuff you...

    Going on a date Friday, what should I do?

    ... my 2 cents... If ya like her, give her a call "out of the blue." Don't rehearse and think so hard about it. Just call and say "Hey, ya know... hanging out the other day was kewl. But maybe we can do it again, just U and me?" Chances are that she was intimidated and not too...

    Going on a date Friday, what should I do?

    It's Sunday Matt.... how 'bout you share some of the lows/highs of your date? BTW: Unless I already knew the girl, I would not let her fumble with trying to open the door, or reach across. I would already have opened it for her from the outside, as well as put my hand out to help her up...

    2JZ Auto tranny in MKIII?

    THANX A GREAT DEAL!!! When I first started to look into this question, I checked Arnout's site and found so many changes (all good) that I couldn't even navigate like before. I had no idea this was out there. As usual, Arnout's years ahead and still as helpful with these swaps!! Good find...

    2JZ Auto tranny in MKIII?

    Anyone got one in their MKIII? Tips, tricks, gotchas? There are some basic differences, so I'd like to prepare for 'em.. like the rear speed sensors on an MKIV/Aristo (each wheel has one). The MKIII only has 1 speed sensor that uses the average speed of rear wheels. Also, the driveshafts...

    86.5-88 vs 89+ auto tranny questions

    I know a few.... the speed sensor has got to be one that matches the connectors, as well as the year (ABS/ECT)... Basically, if you have ABS the ECT gets the signal from/through the ABS. I am still dealing with mine and haven't figured it out. Tho I am about to try another ABS computer...

    What's this hose for!?!?!

    ...that's what I thought!!! I knew that once I thought I new everything about my MKIII, it would still find a way to perplex me. Gawdamn Supra. I so love to hate it!

    What's this hose for!?!?!

    It was already dark tonight, when I tried to trace it. Looks like it goes into a metal tube, which seems to run towards the motor mount, then goes down under the engine (along subframe?). Now I'm really curious... gonna have to F with it tomorrow for sure....

    Bent cylinder head help

    I had a warped one "baked" as well. Dunno the specifics to the technic, but the head seemed good for the 2-3 years following that. I eventually sold the complete engine and never heard about any problems. Dunno about you doing it yourself... I'd just pay to have it doe by ppl who've got the...

    OMG!!! Sorry dudes.... only about $6 with our Supra-club discounts from almost any Toyota dealer. That's as funny as watching ppl win auctions for the accordian pipe, for over $50.... Ebay just has a way of making some ppl alot of money...
