I tried the military when i was 18 i think. Got rejected at the recuiting office because im Bi-Polar and ADHD. Recruiter said i might flip and shoot up the whole barracks. I personally think that the military woulda been one of the best things for me but apparently the recruiter didn't share...

point taken, but thinking about what i should have done 6 years ago isn't going to help the now situation. Im currently working at Metro Ford Lincoln Mercury... Im a tech. No certifications and I dont want to spend money to persue a career in wich i will destroy my hands, for a career that...

ok, installed the final valve stem seal. ~sighs~ at times its hard to find motivation or the drive to continue/finish this project.. At times, the reality that I keep sinking all of my available money into this car that isn't even transporting me anywhere and that as befor im sacrificing alot...

Im looking for career ideas. Im 24, only have a high school diploma, suck at math (can barely multiply and divide :nono:), Am still living at home w/ my mom and sister, Have no money because I keep sinking it all into my only car (damn supra!). Life is turning out to be a real disapointment...

true... atleast not real street racing. its usualy just step on it for a gear or two to see how much pull ya get and off the gas... most street races aren't really races, just a show of speed.

really now? I had also heard Ztec Focus' shims are interchangable w/ ours. Might check for employee pricing at the dealership i work at. Thanks for the info. Still waiting to get to actually do the shims. Can't measure them so can't do em yet.

GTO's have trouble w/ Supra's period. Tailed one guy as he floored it at a light and when we got to the next he couldn't believe my 7M supra was able to keep up.

Ok, got the final valve stem seal. The toyota one is brown and the other ones i had were black. Doubt it'll make much of a difference but oh well, just an observation. Was about to try to install the final seal when I noticed that I hadn't yet removed the last valve stem seal. Also wasn't...

then dont drive the thing. Fix it first. A vpc shouldnt' help you any. How do you know your running lean? Have a wide band? any sort of a/f gauge? have you checked for codes? have you checked the TSRM yet? http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/library/TSRM/index.html

Thank you sir. Bookmarking the page as we speak. Was thinking against it till i found the size shims that match what Toyota offers. Dont trust american parts companies for some reason. Having a Jap car and all i keep thining imma screw myself out of the right part.

well, let me remind you that in post #5 i said: FullNelson's more than likely right. He wasn't looking for a race (I was), he was probably just on his way somewhere and ran into someone eager to have fun. Saw a GTR yesterday. Wish I was in the supra so I could've posted how that...

lmao... i can relate... wonderful feeling it is. congrats

seen that one. actually talked to my snap on dealer today about it. hasn't sold many of them tho. Said he'd look for one for me. I saw video's of something like that being used on a civic motor i believe it was.

no. the whole car is a pre 89. didn't feel like mutting it out w/ post 89 parts. Id like to keep mine looking like an 87.

Figured Id post some more pictures for you guys.... Storing my parts in the hatch of the car till they are ready to go back in... Multiple pictures of the dissassembled head (also seen is the home made valve spring compressor tool and the valve retaining rope in one of the...
