    Any tips & tricks for motor swap? bad for good motor (simple swap I would think)

    ALL of them. Don't forget the turbo coolant hoses and the small hoses that run up from under the intake to the throttle body and ISCV. If you see anything that looks like it'd be a bitch to get to while in the car, replace it.

    I'd replace the headgasket while the engine is out of the car. Pull the tranny with the car, it will make your life easier. Replace coolant hoses while engine is out.

    ForcedTorque's Slick/Quick Build

    I wouldn't be a bit surprised if that diff is bad after all the power and torque it has received in the past. Mine is bad and clunks, vibrates, pops when turning and drones like a bitch going down the highway.

    what is the preferred 1pc steel driveshaft?

    I vote Shaftmasters as well. I've got a steel one piece for my 91 auto. There is a noticeable difference in acceleration. Now if only my diff wasn't shot, it would be smooth as silk. Their service is top notch.

    91 vs 92

    The leather is black, the cloth is shadow gray as well as the dash and rest of the plastic trim inside the interior. Scott aka Forced Torque has the perfect example of a shadow gray interior as his is cloth. Scott let's see some pics!

    Not bad....for a Lexus

    I must have one. Maybe in 20 years I can pick one up for $3500 bucks. Looks a lot like what the "new" Supra was supposed to be.

    I think he is going for an Aston Martin look. Nonetheless >>:: facepalm ::

    ForcedTorque's Slick/Quick Build

    Oooooh, me likey a lot!:love: On top of the modulator is a P and a Q. P attaches to a nipple off the lower right side of the intake and Q attaches to the top of the EGR valve itself.

    Driveline Vibration

    It didn't feel harsh or rough, just loose. I drove to Dallas today to consult with Christian, the supra guru of DFW and he is pretty much of the opinion the diff is probably shot. He described the vibration as "droning" which is a good way to put it and felt like it was coming from the rear...

    Driveline Vibration

    Here is a little video of what Ian suggested. Also I'm about to drive over to Dallas to have a supra pro take a look at it. He has suggestions and opinions about this as well. So here's the video. http://s12.photobucket.com/albums/a227/gtsfirefighter/?action=view&current=1029091020-01.flv

    Driveline Vibration

    I've heard that a lot. Why do I always have to be the first. :biglaugh: Now I feel obligated to find/fix the issue for the sake of all supra owners. I'm nowhere near ready to throw that shaft in a box and send it back yet. Ok, back to the garage to jack the car up and crawl underneath...

    Driveline Vibration

    Just to clarify...what kind of play will I be looking for? Rotational play or back and forth play?

    Driveline Vibration

    I'll have to do that tomorrow when I get home from work. How much play, if any, am I looking for for it to be considered bad?

    fuck man......i got a coolant leak in the worst possible place possible!

    I'd be all about the JB Weld too. You wouldn't have to remove the head but you'll have to remove just about everything off of it. So how's the headgasket? Might be a good time to replace it if you decided to replace the coolant pipe.

    Driveline Vibration

    While the car was up on jack stands and the new shaft attached, I put the car in park and tried moving the wheels back and forth. There was virtually no slack to be felt and if there was it was less than 1/4 inch. My car has 145k miles on it. So it felt pretty tight. I do still get that grinding...

    Driveline Vibration

    Well I ordered a steel single piece driveshaft from Shaftmasters. The first one they sent was too long. I called David and they made a new one and shipped it the same day. I got it today, and it bolted up with no issues. I then take it for a drive and the initial response was awesome. However...
