Well I went out and got some cutting wheels and blades for the saw. I didn't feel like messing with the saw tonight but did successfully free one control arm from the subframe. Also I was able to cut through the nut side of the other bolts. I've got to do some manipulating of the remaining...

Thanks for the info! I've got every tool I need except for the sawzall and I'll borrow one from a buddy. Almost every post or thread I read on this subject is in reference to the front lower control arms. I'm only dealing with the rear. Hopefully I won't damage the control arms. Once I get...

Well camber bolts are still stuck. I tried using an air hammer and punch with no luck so I tried the ball joint press I have and that just bent the area of subframe that the control arm bolts into. I'll have to heat that up and bend it back after I cut the bolts which I guess is what I'm going...

Oh I'll be using the subframe bushings for sure! ;) I'd say it's time for some freshening up. I'm really looking forward to having mine back together.

Here's how she's having to sit for a while. Took this just a couple of weeks ago at work. And here's the fancy Chrysler Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Now some pics since we're all visually stimulated here haha. I bought and installed a Super Monitor for it. Pre 89 turbos are all pre-wired for it and have the plug under the dash. Here's a brief video of the excessive blow by coming out of the crankcase. https://vimeo.com/142801636 Got...

My present goals and then I'll post up some pics. Now I like a stock ride and am happy with stock performance with my Tanabe Medallion cat back so mechanically it's going to remain stock and therefore more reliable. I want to be able to jump in it and road trip at any time. It will receive a...

Regarding the bushings I bought for the rear suspension. I got the last three rear upper control arm bushings in the country...or even in existence I think. I need 4 but three was all I could get. I also bought an Energy Suspension bushing kit in case I screwed something up and needed more...

Guess I'll update this. Rod knock: well I don't think it was a rod because the knocking more or less went away. It has a faint knocking sound when it's cold but after its warmed up the engine is quiet. BUT: I do have a an extreme amount of blow by. With the dipstick out and the oil cap off and...

Hmmmmmmm

Thanks! I figured some cutting would be involved but it's sounding easier after your replies. I worked on it this afternoon and came upon a snag. Seized eccentric bolts on the lower control arms. Im going to have to do some research on the best way to get the bolts out.

I'll start disassembling it tomorrow hopefully. I've just got to figure out the best way to push out those subframe bushings. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I do. I don't have the cassette but have an audio file a friend gave me. The factory ride in a Supra is phenomenal. The lines are sexy. The seats are comfortable. It just feels good going down the road. A true luxury GT.

Damn George! I'm so jealous. I absolutely love driving around Monument Valley. The next time will be in the supra. I've only been in the Lexus SC's I've owned. Just waiting on my engine. Emilio I'm going to reclaim that spot in the Grand Canyon under my ownership haha.

I really need to come ride in your car. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh damn Jay sorry to hear that. It was TX2k9 when your engine took a dump on you last time if I remember correctly. It's been to hot here in Texas as well. I still need to pull my rear subframe and replace all the bushings, which I have them all in a box, and most importantly get my engine...
