    To All, Many things that I have taken to task with my supra work, have gone better than planned. Some things have gone as planned. But somedays I get the 2 steps forward and one step back unplanned. Today was one of those days and there have been others. Pulling the brake vent covers off for...

    Got it Mark. No part out. Sounds like Fred's piece is nicer anyway, coated and all ^^ The engines I have are 1) Pulled from my MK III @ 113,000 miles, no smoke ran good, but had a hogged up key area on the crank nub. This caused the crankshaft pulley to wobble on the crank. I have a good 6m...

    Which brings to mind, I also have 2 sets of sawblades. One set is polished, and look as good as any of the other metal I polished on my MK III, they are in perfect shape with vg center caps. Other set was painted white "not by me" and really might just take them to the scrap yard for the $$.

    Hey Mark, I have one on one of my 2 spare 7MGTE's. It is beginning to look like I will be parting those engines out instead of selling them in one piece anyway. Both would need a rebuild. How soon do you need the manifold ? If your not in a rush, I could bring it to the Meet. If you are in...

    Jordan, Any word yet ? I did order a few pieces that were not on the list from Champion Toyota. Arrived here within a week. I am guessing that the MK IV parts are more readily available. LMK when you know something, time is slowly passin us by ^^ P.S. Message is here due to your inbox being...

    I do not know, nor have I ever known Valentine, so it is one day I never observe. Not that it matters, but if you really love someone who needs a day to remind them that you do ^^ Then again, if your sweetie loves sweets, it is a good excuse to get some for her. What it really means to me is...

    Ok, Ryan I have one. Recoil is fine, exterior good, cover has a 1.5 inch horizontal cut. Would be an easy repair, depending on how picky you are. Looks like it could be fixed well enough to not be noticed at all, or, duct tapped also ^^

    Ryan, My apologies, it is not confusion with people, rather confusion with screen names sometimes. Besides, I get a free pass I am old and have sometimers ^^

    Glenn, I will look and see if I have that cargo cover. As I remember, it was in ok condition, but the recoil spring was not good. I will check on it today.

    May 28th warm weather I love it ^^ I realize we will have the traffic to deal with, but we will also have the hope of getting more interested in traveling with that extra day on Monday. We will probably drive to Chester on Thurs, then hit Va Beach on Friday, get a room there until departure on...

    Less than 125 days till next meet. Jordan and all, it is never too early to get the date and rain date solidified. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, May 21 is better, and if you can consider a may 28 that is even better than the 2st. With all the complications a May 28th meet may...

    Glenn, You will. Pretend you are building a model car (Plastic) Revelle style. Pay attention to all the details that most people will never see, and the car guys will. The investment is mostly in time spent, many including my older brother believed in the motto " Function before Form", I...

    Change as they say is never easy ^^ It was worth a good stock N/A MK IV, but not quite the TT 6 speed I picked up (Little over half). If I could have done it financially, I would have kept it and purchased the MK IV also. However, I would have needed to add onto my garage, and keeping my...

    Fred, Thanks for the offer. But as you know now, I have swapped out ponies. I do wish I could get rid of these horrid Edonis or Donis wheels, but that will have to wait until I wear the rubber out that's on them. Winter sure is long this year ^^

    Ok need some thoughts on parts here. OEM vs NAPA, Advance, Auto Zone. Pricing on an OEM water Pump is $126.00, Duralast Water Pump, Lifetime Warranty, $46.99. Just curious as to what most here are using, not specifically water pump, but in general replacement parts. I have always used OEM...

    Fred, Great to see you posting here. I have not seen you since the Richmond meet in 08. Have you been working on your Supra since then ? I will come to whatever date is choosen, the later in May the better as we often have a Graduation or two to attend earlier in the month. If it is...
