    7mge rebuild general questions (machine shop related)

    I got my 7m down to bare block and now it's figuring out what to do next. I have already decided on what machine shop I am going to use, some of you might know Dave Henry and his 8 second mkiv supra from Fargo. He uses Quality Engine for his engines, so I am using the same place. No brainer...

    Quick question about using 89+ trim on a pre 89 car.

    Will the trim look proper if I still have my pre89 tails? Or will it look "unfinished" because I wont have 89+ tails with the trim piece that is on the center tail light.

    Getting rid of the Golf, got a pickup!

    Well the Golf has been giving me fits since I've had it, and it's time to get rid of it. In it's place is a 2007 Ford F-150 XL Regular Cab v6 5-speed. So far so good, its a great reliable daily that is capable of towing anything that I am going to want to tow (small boat, car parts, etc.)...

    Give me reasons to keep the supra.

    Okay last year I got started with the tear down of my 87. Motors pulled and ready for a rebuild. But it's been sitting ever since. I can't get the motivation to get my ass in gear and work on it. I loved the car to death when I drove it, but now, I find myself looking for other cars...

    New Daily! MKIII Golf

    1997 GTI 2.0 5-Speed only 130,000. On FK Coils, 14" BBS wheels, front and rear strut braces, Intake and Exhaust. What a fun car to drive! I drive a lot, so I figured why not have a car that I can have fun in as well while the Supra is (very very patiently) waiting to go under the knife. Plans...

    Need honest advice, Escort or Golf

    Okay, so my brother in law said I could buy his 1997 VW Golf GTI 2.0 5 speed from him. I do want it, but it needs work, most likely a transmission. He said I can have it, and when/if I decide to keep it, when I sell my 1998 Ford Escort Sedan Sport 2.0 5-speed, I will give him 1200 of whatever...

    7mge Refresh

    Well, I am pulling my 7m since i blew a coolant line on the back of the motor, and it is leaking from every seal possible. It is sleeping over the winter so I figured now was the best time to do it. The engine is higher miles, but has good compression (all within spec), and runs very well...

    Rota HM3's?

    So I have always loved the look of Super Advans on the MKIII, but I know I would never be able to afford a set, and just the other day I stumbled across these, I think they look pretty good! Not sure on the offset though, but just thought you guys would like to see them and make your own...

    I think I blew my Headgasket...

    Yea, driving on the interstate, I look in my rearview to see if i can merge, and I noticed that some smoke was coming out of the exhaust. A few miles later, my low coolant light comes on, and right when I pull off the interstate, I begin to overheat. I shut it off and coasted to the nearest...

    Front Control Arm Bushing Question

    Okay so my upper control arm bushings are shot on the passenger side up front. My question is, Is there any type of bushing that I should look into getting? I cant afford the polyurethane bushings from DM, but is there another afermarket set out there? Or should I stick with OEM?

    Well, I think its time to park the Supra in the garage and start driving the Crapalier... :cry: Between the oil leaks, loose front end, bad gas mileage, and countless more "little things" wrong with my car, I think I have decided to park it in the garage and start doing a rebuild, it will be...

    Clunk in front end while turning...only clunks once.

    Alright, just recently I have noticed that when I take a corner at a decent speed, there is a slight clunk in what I think is the drivers front. It clunks once while turning one way, and will not clunk until I turn the other way. It also clunks (still, just once) if I hit a decent bump. I am...

    Well I finally got the interior all back together on the Supra today, but there are some issues that have sprung up and I have no idea where to start.
