    What in the hell have I gotten myself into?

    I'm going to put the downpipe and elbow on myself but I will take the rest to a muffler shop I've already spoke to and they will make the rest with 3" pipe and then hang it for me. It'll cost me about $50 to do that.

    What in the hell have I gotten myself into?

    Well I just need my elbow-turbo gasket and then I'm ready to go get all this shit put on. Today I'll mess with the starter (I hope) but for sure want to put the inner fender well and mudflap back on. I made my own gasket for between the downpipe and elbow out of some stuff I bought at a parts...

    Kind of Person who bought MK3 Supras back then.

    The kind of person like ME but who had money. If any of you young'uns had driven a BRAND NEW MKIII you'd understand. At that time it was the greatest thing I'd ever driven. I put it over the LS 400 I drove that day too. I pretty much consider an MKIII an early model Lexus anyway. I just...

    saw this on local craigslist

    It is a Celica Supra. Celicas did not come with a straight 6, and the grill is Supra. Nice find. I've never owned one but have test driven a few and like most Supras, they were very very smooth, just gutless.

    Ever heard of removing an engine without draining the oil from it?

    I drained mine outside of the car, but the tranny I drained prior. I really don't see what the big deal would be. Anyway, about the motor...Always assume a used 7M has a BHG or Rod Knock. Unless you know the engine, and apparently you don't, rebuild it and give yourself that piece of mind.

    7m-ge to 7m-gte upgrade

    Just get an auto harness and call it good. It may take some time to find a good harness but would be better than trying to wire in plugs for your auto. You are also going to need a different throttle body. They are different for auto and manual. I just finished my swap. I have an 86.5 and...

    MAJOR PROBLEM !!!???

    Make sure there are no other cracks, you don't want this to happen If you can still thread a bolt in there, I wouldn't worry about it that much. What's your HP goals? I can only see it being a problem if you're shooting BIG HP.

    ForcedTorque's 3E5 has Arrived!!!!!

    Well that explains everything!!! Jays luck with the 7M is obviously contagous. Your whole car is probably infected with the Hayes 7M Virus. Don't worry though, it can be cured, it just takes time and patience. Just drink plenty of clear liquids mixed with your choice of carbonated beverages...

    ForcedTorque's 3E5 has Arrived!!!!!

    Are you sure it wasn't in there before? Check the fins on your turbo. You might consider cleaning out all your IC piping and IC.
