    Leecheater's rebuild, getting there

    Emilio, remind Sean not to rip it out but gently remove it. It is yours. AS far as turbo, yes I am upgrading. So many choices possible. As of right now, it looks like a ball bearing billet 67, with custom twin scroll housing and a quick spool valve. She will be an beast...

    Leecheater's rebuild, getting there

    Emilio, it hasn't worked for a while. Besides it's location is perfect for the Greddy catch can I have ready to slap in there. You can have it if you want it. The car sounded nice before, now she has that nice slightly rough idle, really sounds fantastic.

    Tonight Sean and Steve and I got the cams installed. We also installed the low miles coils I picked up on SupraForums.The 2JZ had not been running sine late October and one we turned her over a few times she fired right up. Initially she had a few misses. Once she warmed up, she revs just fine...

    Today Steve (Toyotanos) and Sean (funky_monkey58) worked on installing the HKS 272's. All went pretty well until we figured out we need several more shims. Luckily Toyotanos works at a Toyota dealership and can get the shims quickly. I shot a few photos. We also installed Brian Crower springs...

    Puerto Rico meets Minnesota

    Steve, the +103 temperature shift wasn't hard to take. Lucia and I are doing a road trip. We get up in the morning and look for the most interesting things to do. We go where it leads us. Today we are investigating the NW part of the island. There is so much to see it's a shame we only have...

    Thanks Alec, It really was a sweet deal on the cams, considering new they are almost $900! I had planned on 264's but what the heck! Sean should be talking about his own car. It is looking very good. Tonight he is in the shop tonight working on wiring. We want to be super ready this spring...

    Leecheater's rebuild, getting there

    Rob, Yes, my wife demanded I get rid of the Saab and move ahead with a nicer car. My boss Sam has 3 BMWs and encouraged me to get a 06 awd twin turbo. Well I ddidn't have the 40K they cost, and besides I wanted a 2 door. The stability of this car is amazing even with the Michlin high...

    Leecheater's rebuild, getting there

    Hey guys I am not sure where to put photos of my new daily driver. I sold the Saab and picked up a sweet driver. I need snow tire though as they are high performance Michelin on her right now. Aren't worth a damn in snow covered roads, but as soon as roads dry off they are sweet...

    Rob, At this point Sean wants to do his own and I am opting for the less expensive roll bar. $500 for a certified bar isn't too bad in my book. It can be updated at a later date to a full cage. I just know how fast my car is right now and if I drop in a bigger turbo, it will be in the 10s, if...

    Rob, I fully understand the savings aspect, however, welding chromoly requires tig welder and you have to get it inspected. Plus, most tig welders don't have a lot of experience with it. We don't have the welder or the bender. My goals are not below 10.0, so this only requires a roll...

    Hey you MN/ND/Wisconsin/Iowa MKIII guys. I am having a custom roll cage built for my 87. The local guy here in St. Cloud is well known and can make a chrome moly or DOM tubing cage that will be approved for 8.5 secs by NHRA. Funky_Monkey 58 and I are both getting one done. We think that if we go...
