Thanks, Super51. I don't really yet think of it as a car. More like large groups of parts for 4 stages of building.

Looking good. Keep the build updated for us!

Love the name!

Complete head. Relapped one intake and 2 exhaust valves, and then did the shim-shim twostep. I swear, adjusting valve clearance takes at least two tries per cam, no matter how carefully i measure.

lol

Well, I'm pretty old, so... :)

In other words, the USDM ecu turns vac to the egr OFF when not needed?

Less tumble?

LOL. Yes, I think an aftermarket rack will do fine, thankyouverymuch.

Valves installed. Leak testing the valves, to see if the lapping was adequate. Oops. So far, I have to re-lap intake valve #1 on cylinder 4. Yes, it's koolaid. shut up. ;)

The head? Not much. Maybe 3hrs porting/ polishing. Just spent about 2hrs cleaning the valves, rough-lapping them, then fine-lapping them into the seats. I'm about to clean the head and begin assembly.

LOL. I think I'm getting too OCD about polishing this stupid head... The ports aren't perfect all the way throughout, but I realize that IF I really wanted perfection, I'd have to polish the intake manifold and runners as well, and frankly, I don't have that kind of motivation.

Sorry Indigo- I missed that update!

Aha. I just googled a few pics, and realized that the original MkI Supra had one of these. As for the particulars on the rear wing, I pretty much agree with Absolute Speed: 3rd brake light- either way is fine Design- One piece. It shouldn't extend out to the sides as far as a whale...

Check the resistance across the pins on each injector. Shouldnt require any disassembly.

Sounds like the crap that they're tapping and drilling are some 12x1.5 lug nuts and making them into 12x1.75 nuts, so that they can be used to reach down thru the mount points on the aluminum mount plate and the lower plate, to fully engage the threading on the mount itself. Looks like your pic...

Whats a spolier flare?

They sound about right to me. I had similar mods when i dyno'd, and was getting about 260rwhp at 8psi.

No. You need something to control injectors, spark...everything. Certainly you can crank it to check compression, though.
