LOL Duane. I drive my car/s of course, as long as they are running :) Yup! my supra has no rust and I want to keep it that way. That is why I've already treated that cross bar behind the dash with metal conditioner and then painted it :D

6061 T6 cost anywhere from 3 to 5 dollars per lb. Machine shops usually get a better deal. Jorge, I'm doing fine, thanks. I work on the car every time i get the chance :) Nate helped me take the dash out last weekend and we got rid of some things that are not needed anymore. I've also...

It is a nice sounding muffler from burns. I usually get something longer than what they already offer off the shelf so it takes about 2 weeks to get. HTH.

well before is ~240 lbs. More than half of that is already shavings :) I'll weigh the finished pan of course to see how much money was "wasted." ~Ron

Yeah, sure.

Thanks guys. lol no :) I am not doing the machining, a friend is. But I made a mock up pan and he made the program from that. It's not quite done but it will be soon. Hopefully, the motor will be in the bay this weekend, hopefully...Ron

Oil Pan:

This is where it's at right now and where it will be for the next couple weeks, at least. Tilton clutch and flywheel are both installed, so is the transmission. I still have wiring/plumbing to do. Got rid of the ABS system a few weeks ago with the help of Tom, Nate and Duane. Duane and I bled...

Yup! I'm Flip so watch out Nate! Thanks for the bump guys, I wouldn't have found this thread otherwise. I will have an update as soon as my oilpan is done ;) Aight!!

Nice tat Duane, it looks so scary!!!

Geez guys, clean up this thread please.

Nate, I have a set of brand new Michelin sports. 265rears and 235fronts. You need 18" wheels though. special ordered so I can't return them. I don't think you can break loose with them :) Make an offer?? :D

Totally not your average 7m ;) Now, on to Nate's 1JZ power...

Geez! I had no idea what you were up to!! Nate, stop by when you take her for a test drive tomorrow. BTW, will this setup shear flywheel bolts???? :D

It's all good guys ;)

Got some left over paint and I was bored :)

thanks :) The level is to kinda get it close to how it will be angled. The transmission is not mated to the block so... cleaned up the plenum a little...

Thanks Jag. Intake plenum is almost done, needs cleaning of course.

Thanks again for the kind, motivating and inspiring comments :) Here's the finished exhaust system. ~Ron

Skip the rps, you know you will end up trashing it too resulting in more work/downtime. Jump right up to the triple tilton or better yet quadruple. Was I ever wrong??? :stickpoke Huh???? lol! now head over here so we can cruise in the IS to visit that beast....
