Ok well to start this amazing build off...lol im probably gonna get flamed for it later but anyways, i fully built a 7mgte. ive been here lookin on the forums for around 3 years but im finally deciding to join lol. But the history up till now. I went to school for toyota/lexus and i built this car with my school so far. Im no noob to the toyota stuff. Ive had my hands in drifting and drag racing, and lets just say i think going sideways is way more fun than goin in a straight line. plus i used to have a Green, Rare 5spd IS300 stanced out but an unfortunate visit to a guardrail got me away from that crap.
To the pics:
It all started with me swapping a 7mgte into a 89 cressida,
In school we had a engine rebuild course which i took the time to fully rebuild the motor myself
Polished and balanced oem crankshaft
Eagle Rods
CP pistons .20 over
All ARP hardware
Greddy metal headgasket
Brian Crower stage 2 cams with springs and retainers
3 Angle valve job
Aeromotive FPR
RC 550cc injectors
Lexus AFM
Stock Ct26
Here is how it looked about 6 months ago.
fast forward to this year:
so i ran into a couple problems, got fed up with the wiring process which i still think is really simple but i really suck at wiring. so i found a deal that i couldnt pass up. i found a 89 supra fully restored with only 60k miles for 1500
the only problem with it was the clutch was blown, and i mean it was effed up really bad.
well anyways i had really bought the car, to swap the 7m into it, and go 1jz/2jz with the cress with the upcoming tax return.
i started to swap the motor out and begin the process, i get plagued with problems, the crane broke, upon takin the trans out, i found out it wasnt the original trans. but i got the motor out and surprisingly the it was really clean though.
well im gonna have more pics of it to come so let me know what u guys think!
