and became a very power full boom car 151.1 db of pure bass

then i blew my motor up then though int eh turbo motor and whent for pure power since then

now i kidna in race car/street car so light weight and big power and good handling


my new polly bushing kit will be here soon hope fully

injectors/ sfac /and boost gauge will be here soon as well most likly on the 17th

and still waiting on my dame intake manafolod

[Enraged]

your intake mani is done, i saw it today :)

but me and kenny agree that its not goin to flow very welll...

[NashMan]

the thing i wounder is this will it hit my hood

i needed to get hold of him sooner or it migth have to be chnaged

i am hoping for the best

the way i had it planed in my head it will but never got to see the mock up like i wanted ot caus ehe never droped by to show me

[NashMan]

if the manfodl was done the way i wanted it it should look kinda like this excetp for the man manfodl be over where the alt is and not as long

http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/343578/2

i kidna got ketp int he dark when maken this manfold so i hope it turn out teh way i wanted it i ptu trust into kenny

ps that intake manof has the same flow as if it wher stock cause he got it tested and did very well

[Enraged]

the throttle body flange is alot closer to the manifold... oh well, you'll see a nice intake manifold when i have mine on the car. i start school on sept 15, so i might get Neil (shop teacher) to TIG it for me...

[NashMan]

what's the diff the plemton has eghough flow for what i need you don't need huge plemton that all pletom is for to let the air expaned but the way the 7m runner's are is pretty good the way they ar made if you have plentom that has down side on ones and and stright section the other it will flow really well that si the reson why i ketp it kidna stock ish cause of that reson haven just big tube or big block has get spred of expaing on norm stight runner's

well we will have to see my manfold i hopen for the best really oen big thing s for it to clear

[NashMan]

well i am picking it up at 6 today so we will see what it looks lieka ds tuff

[NashMan]

well it does not fit at all oh well time for some fixes

oh well

btu the hsi work is great

[NashMan]

well i just pick up my fule persure gauge for in my car and i have nto got he one for my afpr yet but blaaa

i should get my injector and sfac tommrow the i can make my custom dash part

[NashMan]

well injectors are here yae but ups sucks dixk 115 bucks brokeag fee

so i ampicking them up after work on thursday


damit i need my sfac so i cna make my neato thingy and stuff

[AVNGinger]

ookay, so i have either blown my head gasket or cracked my head...i did overheat on the supercruise but i pray it is only the head gasket, i started pulling apart my engine and now all i need to do is pull the head but FUCK i dont have the proper tool to undo the head bolts, i used different combinations of adapters and shit, broke em all, only got 4 head bolts loose......need more Snap-On

[NashMan]

well you can take the head off wiht grade 8 bolt and use the hex head on it

or go out and buy a alen key scoket

some tiem you have the pop the cams off to get at the bolts

[AVNGinger]

ok, so i went and got the PROPER hex socket with a 3/8ths drive ( i was using a 1/4 drive adapted to a 3/8ths before, all i had) and the head bolts came off like wicked shit without having to remove the cams

Now, just about got the head off, what should be on my mod list now that i have it off, keep in mind that i am broke now cause the gaskets were so fucking expensive.

[Enraged]

just replace any gaskets you can. i would also suggest pluggin the holes for the EGR and replacing the hard to get hoses at the back of the head.

my list to get done with the head off:
-plug all EGR holes
-machine head
-new valve seals
-helicoil exhaust manifold studs
-new hoses at the back of the head
-new nuts/bolts/studs
-drill and tap exhaust mani for 1/4" NPT plug (for EGT sensor)
-strip and paint exhaust mani and heat sheilds

im ditching the EGR, and might be making a forward facing intake mani (still not sure, dont have the right tools right now)

[NashMan]

well my intake manfold is done and it is alot better then befor but i still don't knwo if it will fit i hopping it will

[AVNGinger]

maybe ill put little fans in my intake manifold to make the fuel flow faster, LOL......lo.........WAIT, THATS A FUCKING GOOD IDEA!!!!!

[Matt6003]

So I'm gonna take a look at Bobs 87 turbo, sounds like a wicked deal. Hopefully the other guy doesnt pick it up first, because i'd love to grab it

[Enraged]

bobs selling his supra now?

[Matt6003]

Yeah, hes waiting to see if the kid who sold it to him can come up with the cash, and if not im gonna try to pick it up

[Enraged]

well your getting a hell of a deal, hes put alot of time and money into that car... your not a stupid kid thats going to write it off are you? :) hehe

[islandsupra]

I second the good deal on buying Bob's car. I can't beleive that he wants to sell it already. I keep trying to talk him out of it!

But anyhow, I might have a line on a good parts car, if I can get in contact with the guy soon enough. He didn't leave a phone number with the ad but I think I found a way to get a hold of him.

Anyhow, all I will be needing is the engine, and possibly the seats and doorskins if they are grey. I am thinking it might be a good idea to buy the whole car - then just let you guys pillage it, and my other engine once I have what I need.
He's asking 1600 obo, so it's probably worth it. I just hope I can get in contact before it's too late!! Oh, and the car is in Victoria, so if someone is willing to go check it out for me first that would be awesome! I don't know if I would be able to be down there in time or not.
If anyone knows anything about this car already let me know! It could solve my problems so fast. If this doesn't work out, the supra will probably end up being parked for at least another year. Nobody wants that!

Oh yeah, and if I do end up getting the whole car by some lucky chance, Bob gets first dibs on whatever his heart desires for being such a damn nice guy and helping me out with trying to get my car fixed on his own spare time... just offers to do it out of the blue. You are the fucking man Bob!!

I think Allan may be interested in the tranny... I need the engine obviously (but will have my other one) and possibly the seats and doorskins, maybe a few other minor interior peices. A friend of mine wants the cams and one of the PS lines. Other than that, everything else would be up for grabs. I would be willing to pretty much give whatever you want and I don't need to you guys before parting everything else out.

Just a heads up... and cross your fingers for me that this deal all works out.
-Reuben

[Paradox]

i third the idea of getting bobs car!

[Enraged]

i call dibs on the wheels and tires. burn them down to the cords....

[NashMan]

so he is trying to sell to sell it again eh

oh well

i going to make neat thing today if i get around to doing it

[NashMan]

well whent shopping today pic up some stuff too

got my power wire and ground for my battie relocation 28 feet of it for 40 bucsk this is not welders wire eather ti good wir ei got a sweet deal on it

my brake line's, clutch line , speedo cable , injectors are here


just waighting on some mroe stuff so i can finsh soem stuf today

[Enraged]

I think he was refering to Bob selling his car again. But it is nashman, and I could be wrong. :p

[islandsupra]

haha, that's what I was thinking too.

Anyways, this guy just called me. He's gonna be around tonight but gone on the weekend.
He already offered the guy that did the engine for him to buy the car. But if I want it for 1600 then I cna have it.


If someone can check it out for me tonight, and everything is ok then I'm going to buy it. I am done work on wednesday and can be down there thursday night of friday morning hopefully to pay the dude.
It's going to kick ass if this all works out, I might actually get to drive my car again!

[Enraged]

whats the number and where is he located?

[islandsupra]

ahaha, ryan... when I spend all my money and all is said and done it'll still be stock :(

Anyways, by the time yours is done mine will probably be broken again, lol.
car is getting checked out right now, hopefully everything is ok. The guy said a lot of the plumbing is shot, the rad and IC is gone, but the fan looks ok, and it doesn't even look like the belts were touched. Hopefully the engine itself is ok, and didn't take a lot of shock damage or anything.
The anticipation is killing me. It's unbelieveable how much I just want my car back. Either I want to never see it again, or I want it back.

[islandsupra]

whoops, my bad. Race to see who's car is fixed first. well, I am not fixing it really, so I can't race.
If I did it, it would take ages!

[NashMan]

hey toby i still don't know if i wan run trd springs or comp cams

can you give me that part number again i forgot to right it down

[NashMan]

well i have some ideas but don't know if i shoudl do em i have finshed my battie box but what to use for lid

stainless or just carpet over it to match the rest of my floor


all so do you think it whould be kidna funny for me ot monte my fule persure gauge ont he hood of my car

i can run it insaid but that whoudl be fuel line goign into my car so i may not do that or just fuck the fule persure gauge

[Enraged]

7m valve springs (thanks to aljordan on SF): "Found the number. Its a comp cams part number 975. Retail prices look to be about $60 for 24 springs. "

as for your battery box, for it to be legal for most racing bodies it has to be sealed from the passenger compartment, and vented to the outside. if you dont have it covered already, use some polished stainless to make it look nice. did you just use steel sheeting to make the box?

reuben/bob: how did the car look? engine look good? reuben, if you buy that car, how much do you want for your current engine (just the head and shortblock, no manifolds or anything)? id like to have a second one to build over the winter/spring.

[islandsupra]

the car is mine :) not too sure what exactly it is engine wise... but it's better than what I have now I guess. Made a deposit on it, and have to pay the rest when I can get down there, and pick it up.
Kind of want to wait for him to find the paperwork for the rebuild though.... though it doesn't matter because it's better than nothing would just be nie to know exactly what I am looking at engine wise.

well i told you to come get it but you never do it will fit you car now well at lest should you do have that spacer and stuff but drop over and we can put it in and crap

[AVNGinger]

ok, question of the hour, to take off the crankshaft pulley, you need the Special Service Tool as seen here (http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/library/TSRM/em/EM_24.html) in step 11.

So, suggestions oh supra-wise ones.

[Enraged]

block the crank from turning, use a breaker bar to get the bolt off... good luck, its something like 180 ft-lbs haha

[Slate 85GTS]

Its not that big of a deal, just put your longest half inch drive breaker bar on it and make sure your ebrake is on with the car in 5th gear. It will turn a bit when you crank on it but once the slack in the ebrake cables and tranny are taken up it should crack free. Dont be scared to reef on it just make sure the socket stays on the bolt nice and straight so it doesnt slip off and strip it thats all. And if you cant get good leverage on the breaker bar then you can always use a pipe on the end of it haha, but make sure you are using half inch drive otherwise you will break your tools.

[NashMan]

the key tp every thgi is levage get big pipe and she will come off

the key to gettign bolts off is never use all you muscle and just mus it off use shape wack wiht you hand or just rife on ti for sec she will come off it peac of cake afrter that use pully puller then you are set

[islandsupra]

just think of a hammer. You don't drive nails in by putting the hammer on it and pushing. you whack it. Use the same techniqur to break the bolt free. Just make sure you have good enough tool sthat they won;t break when applying the "yanking" force to them.
Oh yeah, and when I was trying to turn my engine over, I was hanigng of the crank pulley bolt and yanking... and I weigh 240 ++ lb. So that bastard might be a little bit difficult to remove.
That took me 20 minutes to type with no errors. so I hope that it helps you!

who has that red mk3 with wheels and modded seats thats always parked at safeway, in sidney?

WEll, I am officially done work now! But I think I am going to go in tonight (just a sucker I guess).

Hopefully, if everything works out as planned, I will be all pakced up by today, and on my way back down island - and back to civilization - by tomorrow evening. Gonna try and make it to Victoria maybe on Saturday and go check out that car.
I'd like to spend some time with the supe as well if all goes as planned.
I can't wait to get that thing fixed again, I miss driving it! Hopefully everything goes as planned though, and I can get down there for a few days. If any of you guys are free... give me a call or PM or whatever - it would be nice to hook up for a bit or something.

Oh, and don't worry Toby, if Bob's not busy and we end up going to look at that car and get it towed, I'll give you a call first. Oh, and bring your axe ;)

sad part is i stil don't have all my parts yet maily the polly bushing's


oh yae my car was slow befor might be becase i had to spun barings and 2 bent rods and fucked up crank and pretty bad blow of the head gasket loks lie i may have detated pretty good

hehehe oh well i got new ones any way

well, looks like with any hope my car will be back soon too!!

I can't wait to drive it again. Although by the time it's fixed I probably won't be able to afford to drive the damn thing :P

Hey so im going to Vancouver on wednesday to check out an 87 N/A, just wonderin if theres anything you guys think i should be lookin at specifically, or be askin the guy about.

Thanks, Matt

[Paradox]

Matt, read this!

[Matt6003]

Wow thanks Murray, thats like the greatest thing i've ever seen

[Enraged]

dont waste your time with an NA, look for a turbo, its worth the extra time and $$

[Matt6003]

Well that's one vote for a turbo and 2 for an NA, im not saying im right or anything, because i really dont know, but supposedly its much easier to work on an NA than a turbo, and its one less thing to worry about breaking, since i really dont have alot of cash to spare on replacing big things

[Matt6003]

but if i find a turbo at a good price i'd still pick it up

[islandsupra]

I second not wasting any time on an NA. It's just not worth it.... the whole time you will just be wishing you had bought a turbo, unless you just want a heavy ass daily driver.
Don't get me wrong, they are still nice and everything, more simple and possibly more reliable but if you are looking for a car for performance then a turbo is definetly the way to go. Tons more power despite what people say about it only being a few more ponies. The whole powerband is moved lower into the RPM range.

PS - I might have everything you need to convert to turbo pretty soon here. actually, practically everything but the block.

[Matt6003]

Well for now i need a daily driver, until i finish school anyways, then im all for converting to a turbo and steppin up the power, but for now i dont need it.

[islandsupra]

get a car that's lighter and cheaper on gas then!

I don't even think I'll be driving my supra much this year again. SInce moving and going to school, it's harder to drive around. I probably drove it for like 3 months in the last year.

[Enraged]

if you want a daily driver, buy a honda. cheaper on gas and more reliable than any supra...

[Matt6003]

I would get something lighter and better on gas, but i love the supra

[Slate 85GTS]

[ness_71]

Originally posted by Matt6003

I vote for buying something cheap and economical now, and saving for a turbo supra! A non-turbo probably doesn't get a whole lot better fuel mileage. Plus you don't want to have to convert it to a turbo, especially if you can't do it yourself.

[islandsupra]

haha, look at all the supra owners telling this guy not to buy one!

It's a tough choice, I hate driving other cars now. But at the same time I sometimes want to get rid of it and buy something that is cheaper to run. In all reality, the car is great for the price point, it's quite a car. But let's face it, they are not cheap to drive, insure or maintain!!

The point I am trying to make is not that you shuoldn't buy one, but that you shuold look into all these costs first, adn see if it will be a dream come true, or else a nightmare because you can't even afford to drive the damn thing.

[legally blonde]

na i got my car thpoigh work and struff


i just added on exhuast side pipes baby but kidna loud so i going to pop in silnacer

[Enraged]

looks like the supra world is getting better... reubun has a running car, and i finally have $$ to fix mine :)

[NashMan]

and i am driven an rx7

and where's muray

[Matt6003]

And I might actually have a reason to post in this thread soon

[Enraged]

matt, buy a turbo. drive it nice and its just as reliable as an NA :)

[Matt6003]

I dont know, I mean I would like to get a turbo, but since I'm borrowing money from my dad to get a car it's not entirely up to me, and he really dislikes the idea of driving something turbocharged. Not only that, but I just drove a Cavalier for the past year, so I wont even notice the 20 HP difference, it's still going to be a big jump for me. And the car that I'm looking at seems pretty good for the price, so I will probably get the NA, but if I decide I want a turbo, I can always buy another car.

ot just slap a turbo ont here it not hard at all ort even swap

[Paradox]

i'd go with a turbo too, but if a NA seems more logical now.. why not?

as for slapping a turbo on a NA, how many NA-T's do you guys know of that have lived longer than a few months?

hey murya wana buy my rx7 when i am done wiht it it will most likyl have mods doen to it caus ei can't control my self

so far it just exhaust 2.25 to 3 inc boom tube out the side

[Matt6003]

So whats going on with your car right now Ryan?

[Paradox]

Ryan, i'll take your Rx7 for sure when its done, aslong as its for the right price and you dont blow the rotor seals :P

[Matt6003]

Oh yeah, Murray the car i looked at in Vancouver was in pretty nice shape. He wants 4200 for it but he said he'd take 3500. Seems like a good deal. BTW anybody know a guy named Tyler Wald? He says he's a member of the Vancouver Supra association.

[Paradox]

was that car in vancouver a turbo or NA? sounds like a good deal, and should leave ya some money left over for restoration/mods/etc.

i can't say ive heard that name before, or anything about a supra association in vancouver, altho there was that BC Supra's thing trying to be organized not too long ago....

[Matt6003]

thats the NA in van, and i would like to have some money for mods and restorations, thats why im hopin things work out, because it does sound like a good deal.

[NashMan]

well there si red 91 supra turbo down town right nwo for sale

i don't plan to put much money into it but you never know btut he car runs liek dream she has alot of power she can break the tire loose in scound for bit it pretty fun car

[legally blonde]

I will vouch for that the car runs great... its just LOUD.... Even I like driving it :)

[islandsupra]

guess who has a running supra??
( <------ )

[Matt6003]

haha congrats dude! thats makes what, 3 now?

[islandsupra]

hmm, yeah... of the 7 other local guys I know, 3 are broken down and one is parked. I guess that's not really the greatest track record is it!

[NashMan]

mine ant broke it just gettign made bette then befor minbe still drove just a matter of time befor it back again

[AVNGinger]

its broke, sorry nash, BROKE, like you....lol

[NashMan]

i am not broke yet i will bre after my car is done

[islandsupra]

haha, no yours isn't broken. But it would have been... I didn't even count that one, or my own.
Just the ones that are seriously broken. Oh well, it's still worth it!

[Matt6003]

well hopefully we can add one more to the working side soon, then it would at least be almost 50/50

[Enraged]

even when mine is fixed, its still not going to get drivin much...

[islandsupra]

Originally posted by Enraged

I hear ya there... I don't want to insure mine until march... but I didn't get to drive it at all since LAST march, so I am pretty tempted to put 3 months on it and drive it until it starts to get too cold and crappy.
I don't think I am going to buy another beater either though, because I wanna buy a new laptop. So I'm stuck... riding the bus sucks donkey nuts.

[Enraged]

drive the sprint! haha

[islandsupra]

haha, riiiiiight. I never want to see the sprint again!!
Next time I go home is for my staff party in October. If it's still around then and driveable, I'm bringing it out there with me and it's going to be obliterated.

Oh yeah... Toby I'll get the battery for you as soon as I can. I had to leave town on short notice (had an hour to pack my shit and get moved out before my ride down left) so I didn't bring that crate of parts. When my mom came down with the rest of my shit she couldn't find the parts so she didn't bring them.
The pinion in the front end of my stepdad's truck blew out on him as well, so he had to drive the sprint for a while.

God I would LOVED to have seen that!! .. but anyhow they couldn't swipe the battery either.

But anyhow, next chance I get I will try to grab all that crap for ya.

[Enraged]

i stole the battery from the datsun, which was in the old sprint, all is well. just need the speedo cable now :) the spare parts would be nice to have, but no rush. if you bring it up here im stripping more parts off it though hehe

[islandsupra]

no fucking way am I driving that thing anywhere... last time I took it on a trip was absolutely horrible.
People keep saying to bring it down so they can use it/take parts/kill it. Honestly, anyone that wants can HAVE it. But they gotta go get it. I am done with the sprint, was done with it as soon as I was done work. The only way I'll touch it again is to:
A) get the battery out
B) destroy it with a baseball bat, and then some form of fire/explosion

[Matt6003]

hey that sounds like fun, dont forget the video camera so you can post it for all to see!!

[Paradox]

whats so horrible about the sprint?

i need a beater for winter and ryan will probably want some stupid price for his Rx7 once hes done beating on it :p

[Enraged]

go get the sprint! haha that thing is classic

if it was in naniamo i would go get it :)

[Paradox]

naw, i want a Rx7, ryans or not, thats what ive wanted as a beater for a long ass time ... but we'll see.

if the sprints free, i may be willing to make the trip

[islandsupra]

OK man, whoever wants the sprint can have it for free. But it's about a 5 hour drive from Victoria to get up there.
REmember the crappy droning dirt-boke exhaust and the fact that 4th is pretty much gone. The front end is fucked, and I think the heater core or something like that is also fucked. It leaks water all over teh passenger side floor.

I am not willing at all to go and get it, I'm not even so sure that it would make the trip down - which is why I am not even considering the thought of driving it again. If it were to make the journey, no way would the police allow that thing to drive around in the city.

Oh yeah, remember that the driver's side door also doesn't work. Whoever welded the hinge back on welded it crooked, and burned a hole in the pillar, so the weld fell off taking a chunk of the pillar with it. You would have to find a way to weld a new peice in there... and then weld the door hinge back on to it.

It's not worth a penny to me anymore, I bought it dirtcheap and it paid for itself 100 times over already. It's up for grabs if anyone needs a cheap (free) car and is aware of all the problems it has but still wants it. If not, then like I said I'm gonna have some fun destroying it.

[NashMan]

WELL i am goig to get rid of my car but eh funny thgin thou it will be better then it is now


mods so far is exhaust and huge oil cooler and mabye filter

i chould do some much to thsi car but why it my daily driver

helli choudl put chassi bars it in like my car but naaaa

but yae so fdar the rx7 is 600 bucsk

[Paradox]

yeah, dont bother modding it, i cant afford anything much more than 500 bux

[Enraged]

TT wheels for $600? yay or nay?

[islandsupra]

American?

[Enraged]

CDN$600... they are in decent shape, but i would get them refinished. called around today, its about $35/wheel to powdercoat and $20/wheel to strip them...

[islandsupra]

I guess the question is really about the tires - if there even is any. That's the expensive part.

[Enraged]

none, but i can get new 275s for $189...

[Enraged]

hey ryan, if your free this weekend (or friday) want to help me get the head off? id like to get it to the machine shop on monday

[NashMan]

no prob


any wya io got new tire for the rx7 yae gettign rid fo the crappy ones the fun way ehheheh

[NashMan]

see toby the rx7 has egnogh power to make me happy ps that was no brake stand that just pure triangle power

[Enraged]

ryan helped my get the head off tonight, so im taking it to JB tomorrow or monday. he also reminded me about my clutch, so im ordering a Spec Stage 2 from MVP in the next few days.

looks like im saving for wheels while im in school :) anyone want an 88 burgandy wing and mouldings, or a black 89+ wing? hehe

[Paradox]

sweet, toby! how long before you're back on the road?

[Enraged]

dunno yet... give it a week for the machine work, probably 2 for the clutch to get here... im hoping to have it on the road end of sept/early oct.... if i can afford insurance and gas haha

not lookin forward to the 1000 mile breakin on the clutch...

one good thing about not being able to afford to drive it is i can get more stuff done on it, such as the stereo. i think i know what i want to do now, should be a fun project :)

[AVNGinger]

ok, looks like i will be going back off the road soon, again.

1) Clutch = soon to be toast
2 Yesterday when i got to work and turned the car off there was a metalliac "clunk" coming from somewhere and when i turned the car back on there was a constant clunking coming from the engine........fucking supras.

[Nightwalker]

Originally posted by ness_71

You got my wondering too, looked into it. Seems it's primarily for spring clutches. It's not for the disc itself, but the springs, breaks them in :)

I also read:
"clutch disc will establish its seat on the flywheel and pressure plate and make full contact, assuring maximum performance"

Looking a bit more, both make sense, the spring one makes sense to me, especially with so many km. I bet the clutch surface would be good to go after the first few shifts.

[NashMan]

hahahaha i find it funny after lookign into the rx7 junk and stuff

i laugh at the point where they find it hard to break 130 hp buhahahahah i glad i own a 7m now ehhehe

[NashMan]

Originally posted by ness_71

well yes pretty much every cluthc needs ot be broken in

these are the reson why


see when you get you fly wheel muchined they put a cross hatch on as you whould say what this does is sand the cluthc so it mates wiht e fly wheel perfect if it don't then you kill your clutch aka glaze it then you have to take it off sand the disck and if you really bdaly glaces you will ahve to dot eh fly wheel again cause see the cluthc will melt the fly and all that mealt wiht stick tot he cluthc make sit not mate right and there for slip under load

[Enraged]

different clutches have different breakin times as well, depending on the material of the clutch disc. im going for the Spec Stage 2, which is a Kevlar clutch. very forgiving if i abuse it, will hold 460 ft-lbs, which is about the most power i would see for a long time...

[islandsupra]

How much do you guys think my crappy engine is worth, with the ECU and wiring harness, and all the engine parts that go with a complete swap... minus the rad, IC, AFM, waterpump and a decent crank.

There's a guy that wants to buy everything to do a mk2 swap. I was thinking 500 bucks. It's probably a really good deal for him, he has all the extra parts just laying around to fix it too.

What do you guys think?

[Enraged]

ask for $750 obo

[ness_71]

Originally posted by NashMan

Not why! HOW? How can you possibly take it "easy" on a clutch? Do you like slowly slip it out or something? lol.. And secondly, if you take it "easy" for the initial 1000 kms or whatever, what the hell are you doing to it after that? :p

[Matt6003]

So the guy who was going to sell me his car hasn't called me today, and he was supposed to be getting it inspected today. I'm assuming that means it never happened. Im curious if its even worth it to have it looked at when I've looked it over already, like what more is a mechanic going to do than basically "look" at the engine? Would it make much of a difference, and should I just go and buy it if the price is right?

[Paradox]

i'd be most concerned about its head gasket status, did you read that link i posted on SOGi awhile back? i doubt even my car could pass all of those factors. so i wouldnt worry too much about little things, but tranny and HG leaks for sure.

also try to check the car first start of the day, see if its blowing smoke or idling rough. some common probs will show during startup of a cold engine (cold start injector, tps, rod knock, etc)

[Matt6003]

thats what i mean, but a mechanic isnt going to check a HG, they're usually just going to look it over like i did, thats why im wondering if there's any point in waiting for it

[Slate 85GTS]

Most shops like ours do a complete checkover on it. They will do a compression check, check all the brakes, tires, oil leaks, tranny leaks, condition of the flex lines and all related brake parts. We check over all the fluids including the rear end and trans, coolant, oil. If there is any oil leaks they will be able to give you an idea of where abouts its leaking. They will check the steering rack boots, CV boots, it usually even involves a road test to make sure the clutch doesnt slip and everything is working like it should. They will make sure the ebrake cables are all working and that all the suspension is good. I mean its quite an extensive checklist that we have to go through when we do a pre-purchase inspection on a car for a customer. Takes about an hour to and hour and a half depending on the vehicle. And its thorough. I would highly recommend you get it done if you dont have much mechanical knowledge.

[Matt6003]

Ok, well hopefully that's whats getting done, but since the cars not on the island i dont have alot of control over whats going on

[Paradox]

just find a shop near where the car is, see if they can get you in for a check up, its well worth it, if you plan on buying the car. atleast it'll give you perspective on what you need to fix


what shop do you work at bob?

[Paradox]

btw. what happened to that parts car? i might need a tranny soon, to do a 5spd swap. my third might be slipping, i think i may take it to the tranny shop and bitch til they fix the problem or just go 5spd...

cars going off the road for winter soon anyways.

[islandsupra]

The tranny from the blue car was promised to a friend before I even went and bought it ... sorry.

[Enraged]

matt, there is a red 89+ at the dealership by the big chinatown entrance in victoria. i didnt have time to look at it, but the paint looked really nice. i think it was grey interior, and it had a wing, so it was probably turbo...

[Matt6003]

Well I'm pretty sure I'm getting my car on sunday. Are there any unsurance places open on sundays?

[Matt6003]

Well I'm pretty sure I'm getting my car on sunday. Are there any insurance places open on sundays?

[Matt6003]

sorry bout the double post

[Paradox]

sounds killer matt! the NA in vancouver? or another car?

im not sure if any icbc places are open sundays but you could try the place in sidney, rear of the town hall building...

[Matt6003]

ok i'll do that, and yeah the NA in vancouver

[islandsupra]

900 bucks??! ouch...
damn man, I am selling that tranny for 275 with all the crap needed to swap over.

There HAS to be better deals out there!!

[Paradox]

hence why you should have sold that tranny to me :)

[islandsupra]

If I could I would... but I owed Allan a favour for finding me all the deals he has. I told him like a year ago if I ever found a tranny I'd let him know.
But if I ever see another one - I'll let you know ;)

Oh, Matt 6003, check out this link if you are goign to vancouver it might be worth checking out
http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=223597

Also, if there's body/interior parts that are bad on it, I have a blue on blue car just sitting here waiting for people to get parts from before it goes to the wrecker.

[Matt6003]

thanks, the body is in great shape, but i'll take a better look at the interior and get back to you if i need anything

[Paradox]

do you have a TPS and ISC in working order?

[Enraged]

the insurance play at town&country (walmart/blockbuster) is open 7 days a week, i think sundays until 8 or 9 pm

[Enraged]

hey ryan, how much were those valve springs from RMT?

[Paradox]

i could go for some new valve springs, too. however no $$$ :(

did anyone ever figure out the right cam grind to use MR2 valve springs?

[NashMan]

why whould you wana run mr2 vavake sprigs there most liklyy he same as the supra ones as in how much mine came to i don't know rmt is nto saying how much all this junk is goignot cost me

kinda liek spin the wheel of poor ness for me but will i hit the bankrutp slot thou

all i know is they can not chage over the price limt i gave them so as long as they don't go past it then i shou;d be fine

shawn will track oen down for you but i dought int eh hole worl that he just sell the cover just fix it wit glue or buy new cps

the tste hosuong can be fround by shawn

[Enraged]

i need one of the sensors, and the cover. im not going to call them becuase they always want way too much for the stupidest things... ill just look on SF or SM for someone selling parts...

[NashMan]

what ever

[Enraged]

maybe it depends on the person you deal with, last time i called the guy was an ass. but ya, i just need the cover, mine is cracked, so i dont want to buy the entire unit.

[Enraged]

They're here! about fuckin time!

[NashMan]

ahhhh i see you happy how much darker are they the the us ones

[Enraged]

not alot, but enough that a smart mkiii owner would know the difference. ill have to prep and paint the trim on the center panel, and paint the rest of my new trim... should look pretty pimp...

[NashMan]

cooo


you go pretty i go fast ehehhe

[islandsupra]

you are all sluts

[NashMan]

i am goig out for my mopr4ing smoek yae me and plus i goig to drop in my new oil cooler today i going to make it look liek front monte so every one things i have intercooler heheheh mix it wihtt he side pipe my car will be a poser too

[Enraged]

yes, pretty and quick. granted, it wont be as fast as yours ryan, but i dont have your budget hehe

[Enraged]

if any of you want some wide 17s, i found a set for $1000. Speedline, 17x8, 17x9, perfect offsets for the supra. if i had one more big paycheck i would pick them up, but alas, i am back to school...

[AVNGinger]

Ok, supra is going off the road....again...and we are doing a full engine rebuild, knife-edgine the crank-weights, polishing the journals, we gonna perfect that bitch and find out how much hp we can squeeze outa a stock N/A, im doing all this with a 25 yr licenced toyota mechanic (thats a toyota mechanic for 25 years) and he builds hot-rods, this is gonna be some tight shit.

dude maken a na fast in alot i mean alot of money and waste of money

i whent and done that root i give you slit idea what it will take to make the car just as fast as stock turbo


light weight fly wheel

stoker kit

12.5 comp

super fac

cusotm over bores some thgin liek 75

cusotm pisotn to fit that huge of over bord max ont eh 7m is 80

cam's for high as lift to mach the stocker kit over sized vavles

porting and alot of it

header and exhaust

fliter

and blaa and blaa and blaaa


in the end you will have one fast na but really is it worht it cause that alot of money more then i am spending

and int eh end you might be about 250 hps or so

[AVNGinger]

I aint gonna pour money into this supra, we are just gonna do a load of maching and tweaking and get it as fast as we can without pouring money into it, this car is for my brother when he grads in a couple years, i am buying a second supra to load with money/power, and dont you worry, it will be a turbo, but here is the question, i have seen a bunch of different designs of the 7MGTE, whats the diff??

[NashMan]

desings ?


there are 2 and that is it

turbo a wiht trd block and other goodies as well

and reg 7mgte

[Enraged]

89+ had a slightly different block and crank, nothing that will effect you...

It's yours if you want it man.
Went and picked up the car this afternoon, everything seems to be ok. The clutch has a bit of chatter, but that's all really - no biggie.
Now I just have to peice the interior back together hopefully tonight when I get home if it's not dark out.
Then tomorrow Allan gets here with my swaybars and exhaust!!

[AVNGinger]

how can you tell if the turbo engine is TRD or not? does it say TRD right on it?

[islandsupra]

Toby, Allan is bringing them over with him. He's coming tomorrow (monday) sometime. I probably won't hook up with him until like thursday or something, I have labs every night mon, tues, wed.

But I think he's staying in Duncan... maybe someone can rip up there and grab them. Or actually he might even be going down that way. I'm not sure.... but if you guys don't end up getting them, I'll probably come down to Vic again sometime in the near future. WE'll figure something out!

the power steering resevoir is on the passenger side, near your air intake, its the gold'ish looking metal container that says "TOYODA" on the cap.


where is your PS leaking?

Or you could put on a new high pressure line and have no leaks like me! :D

Those lines are worth a freaking fortune!
I don't think my PS leaks either, I've never had to add any fluid :P

Well... the supe still idles like shit. I never really checked anything though. It's not idling QUITE so low now. Like it doesn't almost stall anymore. But it's still not smooth and it still idles under 500 RPM sometimes. I guess I'll drive it a bit more and see what happens. It seems to be getting better already. I'm going to change the spark plugs and the fuel filter for the hell of it too as soon as I get some time.

Anyone know how to properly set a TPS? Seems like pretty tricky business to get it exactly right. It's funny that this engine has exactly the same 2 codes as the other one did though.
