Well it's 5am and I'm not even going to bed yet. Productive day yesterday and today. Found out that a custom 1-piece driveshaft would be too expensive and have balancing issues, and need to be re-bushed (adapted to use a larger driveshaft tube for the length necessary and power to be dealt...

YouTube Video of me & my MKII in action Pictures of my MKII I found out some even shittier news today. Apparently the IQ at my machine shop is dropping rapidly. My mechanic James dropped off the head and block yesterday to have them SWAP the bolts from Main Cap #7 with the studs in Main...

And here are pictures why the block (and head, though that's another story) went back to the machine shop today (THANK YOU SO MUCH JAMES!!!). Pretty much goes like this, ARP Stud got installed in Journal #3?, and Bolt in Journal #7?, which needs to be switched around. Here are shots of the...

Thanks for the link *reading it now*

This is my build thread I've just spent about 10 or 11 grand on a race prepped 7M-GTE that should make 425hp or more. (hoping more). My question is do you experienced 7M-GTE guys think I should spend the extra money for the Oil Cooler setup at the possible cost of not getting to upgrade the...

Good news I talked to the machine shop and since I've been regularly giving them more than 25% of my monthly income they're going to let me have the head this friday and then pay them when I get paid (it's not like I'm going to rip them off). (Reading between the lines, I've developed a good...

Picked up most of the engine from the machine shop Friday. It ended up being about a grand more than I expected. Total came to $3514. :\ Next time I'll just do the smart thing and BPU the hell out of a 2JZ-GTTE. The polished exhaust manifold. The Balanced Front Pulley The...

Either gonna mount it in the glovebox area (already removed the factory subwoofer) or remove the back seats and make an RX-7 style storage area behind the driver and passenger front seats and put the computer, inverter and other junk back there. It would make it easier to access rather than...

Just got some more stuff today (again) 3 days in a row is nice :D The 50mm BOV, NGK wires, NGK Plugs, FIPG (Form In Place Gasket sealer), Fuel Dampner Bypass, Gates Timing Belt, all the Silicone Hose Couplers, and all the Stainless T-Bolts. Picking up the head and block this Friday!! Hope...

I'm running again this year in this 2008 AKA Rally. There's a MKIV Supra running as well this year Link to AKA Website Look for "Team America" towards the bottom. Apparently it's going to be driven by Brandon & Ross. Just wondering if anyone here knew who it was. Rusty

The UPS man delivered some more goodies today. The MOCAL Oil thermostat arrived along with the order from SupraSport.com The MAFT-Pro Electronic Boost Controller (EBC), CT-26 laser cut flange, and the EBC Wiring Harness (plug-n-play to MAFT-PRO) Wiring the EBC to the MAFT-Pro...

I opted for both. I've had my machine shop remove about 3 or so lbs off of my crank (and then had the whole rotating assembly balanced) and am also using a 6M crank scraper (7M block with 6M crank). The upside to a knife edged crank is it's lighter, and has less rotational mass, therefore...

Last year I participated in the 2007 AKA Rally from SLC (and the Bonneville Salt Flats) to Atlantic City NJ in my 85 P-Type Supra while on my honeymoon. This year I'm going back for more with more with my 7M-GTE swap. The 2008 AKA Rally runs from New York City cross country 2,500 miles to Las...

Thanks man, I'll probably need to pick them up within the next week or so. I'll have the money come next Friday. It was good meeting you. I should have some of the Drift Invasion footage up later on this weekend.

My 2 piece crank scraper arrived today for SIP Racing Mailorder. 89.27 shipped

Got the MAFT-Pro, Data Cable, & Harnesses the other day. Only thing was I got a cut harness and had to splice on another 4.5 feet onto the ends of it. Soldered the ends together tonight and double shrink tube'd them for added insulation security. Dear God not only does having the right type...

Probably going to watch/film if I manage to get all my engine parts back to the house in time. (Which is only if I have enough money to pick it up hehe).

Just picked up this Mocal AOT2-3 Oil Thermostat w/ AN-10 fittings for my remote filter & Oil Cooler for $64 bucks shipped from Cali. Woo Hoo.
