Why leave it alone? I want it to be faster! Haha. The chassis and suspension are good for so much more than the 4GR can provide. It's going to be awesome. Jeff

4GR-FSE successfully removed. Now to swap over any parts that I want to keep onto the used engine and need to finish modifying the engine-side of the wiring harness for the manual transmission. :) My attempts to find a larger clutch disc that would fit the 4GR pressure plate and flywheel have...

After years of waiting and researching, I feel like everything is right for me to start this project and I'm pretty excited to say the least! Car started as a 2011 IS250 6MT and over the years I have done a lot of changes to the car, including suspension, LSD, a few computers and exterior...

Bit of an update, I'm still trying to find that vibration and am going to pull the rear end apart this winter. It's got to be something in there, it's just got to be. I'm suspecting something to do with the pinion bearings, but I'm not entirely sure. Recently I remembered that when we were...

It was a custom job using T-Tops from a 300ZX if I remember correctly. Jeff

The year goes on, I try to fix vibrations and show up at other car shows. Decent. I got a set of Falken Azenis RT-615K 195/60R14 tires for the car in an attempt to fix that last bit of vibration in the car and it turns out that one of the wheels is actually bent. I am getting it repaired...

I remember it from back then, but after you sold it I never really heard about it again. Maybe the guy's just not online much? Jeff

Yes. Jeff

The radio will have the same connectors, but will look different, still it will fit. The 1990 would have the airbag, etc., so that's not as easily swapped over but you could technically use the parts if you really wanted to. Most of the stuff will fit, there are a few cosmetic differences, and...

Do it anyway, haha. Last year I drove to Florida and up the east coast to Maine. In 2011, I drove to New Orleans then over to the pacific coast. Just do it, there are fun times to be had out there! Jeff

There are some plans for the car that will make it a bit better to drive for the next time we go, will cut some stuff out, but add some other stuff. Try to improve each time we go, haha. I will keep the Peak to Peak Highway in mind for next time. Still need to do the Going-To-The-Sun Road as...

Yeah, just the one car, I really need to start bringing a support vehicle along, lol. Which sandwich? I would like to eat this sandwich. :p Your trip looks like it's shaping up nicely! I did a few similar ones (but without the Supra) the last couple of years. Jeff

Did this trip last month and thought some of you guys might like to read about it. :) In May of 2013, Stanzaspeed and I embarked on an exciting road trip in his 1991 JZA70 Twin Turbo R. It was the first time in the 7 years he'd owned the car that he actually took it on an extended trip and...

Yellow one is 58280-14070. Jeff

Can confirm, the JZ igniter does not need to be bolted down to function, it is not grounded through the case. Jeff

Fronts were always metal, they were from the factory and replacement ones from Toyota are also metal. Rears were originally metal on 86 to mid-87, after that they changed to plastic. A lot of aftermarket suppliers incorrectly list the front ones as rear ones since the same front ones from the...

From what I've seen, and I've seen a few things, those numbers seem to be for some sort of internal system and correlate to nothing specific on the car at all. I don't believe replacement upper rad supports have any numbers on them, so if you have no numbers it's probably been replaced, but if...

I have two OE boots for the car, one from an MA61 Supra and one original for the AE86. I just switched back to the AE86 rubber boot and won't be changing back again I don't think. So no leather boots for me anymore, lol. That was 18-year old Jeff's decision. ;) Jeff

So I got the car back together, the new axles helped quite a bit with the vibration, as did the new transmission output bushing, though I do still have the vibration under load above 95km/h. Now that I have eliminated these other vibrations, I feel that once I get rid of the one under load the...

Finally got the hardware for the mudflaps in today (along with the weatherstrips for the windshield side mouldings). The rear mudflaps seem to fit quite well actually, I was impressed: Also got the transmission bushing swapped out. Toyota does not sell the bushing separately for anything...
