Also guys, let's keep the selling of parts kept to either the FS section or PM's, where they belong. Nothing wrong with a "hey, if anyone has one of X part, PM me please."
As for me, I started the Mk2 and let it warm fully up for the first time in quite a while. She's developed a slight miss, but I'm not too worried about it. Drove the Mk3 around a bit yesterday, rolled down the windows for the first time in about 4 or 5 months, it was beautiful out.
Also did a bit of shopping/planning. About $10k left and I should have this project about licked I think...
Cut up my HKS Super Drager exhaust today. I had to create more ground clearance now that I have 17 inch rims. I used to have 20s and the exhaust wasn't a big issue then. I also have Stance GR+ coilovers so it's pretty low now. I recently did a 2JZ swap too, so I have had to modify this exhaust quite a bit. Kind of a shame to cut up a nice HKS product but it will still do the job just fine.
my supra is longer a shelf lol. I cleaned it off all teh crap that was on it and took off it's cover and ya know what she still looks nice and shinney under all the crap that was on it.
but did start to work on my head again

Well I broke me driver side window switch tab today. Now I've got to use my finger nails to lift the switch up.lol and I put a full tank of gas in it the first time since over9 months ago.haha.
And I also put in a air freshener.

Started peeling off the plasti dip the PO put on. I am pleasantly surprised on what was hidden underneath. No hidden rust, shiney paint, and even factory spoiler holes! They were just filled in with bondo, but it should make mounting the 3 pc. Easy as pie..
I'll hopefully finish peeling it later tonight.

I came across one hell of a deal, 1jzgte VVTI full swap for $750 in good shape. I am so tempted to buy it and let it sit in the garage until I can swap it in but I don't really have the money for that kind of swap, well I can get it but will take a little while like a couple of months to be on the safe side in case stuff comes up.
I am torn between the motor or replace suspension bushings since mine need replacing soon but I could get the motor then replace the suspension bits so I don't miss out on this deal.
Thing is it's a front sump, I've read you can do a conversion to a rear sump to fit our supras but would it actually fit with the conversion kit?

^ that is one thorough quote! I like the way that shop operates.
Not like the shop I used. Quoted me over the phone $7k for engine build and install. Then hands me a bill nearly double that when its done

Don't bother with mishimotos cooling fans, hardly pull any air. Been there tried that.

I'd rather have a clutch fan but I don't know which setup will work the best with an aftermarket radiator
Yesterday I found out my supra has had the head gasket done by one of the p/o and I also found arp head studs installed... So happy
Today I went to Pepboys. Haven't been there in 5 weeks or so. The whole store is different. They got a whole cabinet full of aem gauges, auto meter gauges. A whole diesel performance isle. There selling arp studs and bolts. It's like a whole new store it's called the speed shop section
I picked up a new aem dry flow and some black wrinkle paint
Got the valve covers done, ps tank, and afm housing. It hasn't dried completely so I gutta keep them out for a few days

Found out I might have a BHG. Gonna try the Block tester this Friday to make sure before doing anything.
That sucks man. But if you do look at the up side once you put arp studs and mhg you won't have to worry about when it's gunna blow...
Don't know if I'm gonna go MHG. Thinking of just replacing it with the stock HG and ARP headstuds. Don't got the skill/resource to pull out the block and get it shaved. I'm a noob
Yea, thats the reason I'm just going stock hg. In the end, I'm only planning on around 400hp for my supra.
