It's 6 bolts that just need a torque wrench, 2 sockets, and thread locker. You don't take out your radiator to put on your crank pulley like I do? If you pull the radiator (takes 20 minutes, including draining time) you will have a ton more room to work with.

You just have to know where to look. Every time someone tells me Supra's are hard to find I just laugh. I can find a dozen or more Supra's for sale right now since I know where to look (i.e. SupraMania, SupraForums, and other websites). If you only look on Craigslist and Autotrader you aren't...

Might I recommend removing the outer portion of the pulley and then using the puller on the hub? I'll be giving ATI my specs shortly. Yes I did try boiling the hub in water, but the hub was just too small (as demonstrated by how much I had to do to pull it off).

Just me :(

WTF??? Clean up the motor and hide most of the lines and wires and it'll be a lot better looking. And paint the spark plug valley cover flat black.

LOL. The point is you can find them.

Most of the JB Weld I put on will be coming off when I sand it down. I just put on a good coat to make sure I don't have any low spots. I do have a decent collection of files to use on it (which I think I'm going to do here in a minute). Like you said, the difference in weight, especially...

Mike, why do you keep staring at your neighbors goat? :D

SupraMario, have you ever to find one? I bet you I could fine a couple in your area (within 4 hours drive) in 10 minutes. Here's one http://clarksville.craigslist.org/cto/1977445734.html

After I sand down the JB Weld so that it's flush with the edge of my crank the difference in weight will be extremely small. This is exactly what my ATI Super Damper is designed for, to balance the crank ;)

Sooo what's the deal with those 3 items Trevor? I'm lost.

Yeah, but he wants to really save money. If he gets and AE86 we all know he'll want to mod it and drive it like it's designed to be driven, which will negate the purpose of getting it. The best way to do so is with Geo Metro. They're gutless and you can't do much to them.

Well I cut the timing belt off today and bought a new one, along with a tap for my crank (18x1.50 btw). I then removed the timing gear, which was a pain in the ass and took a bit of work and some assembly grease to remove, and tapped the crank end to clean up the threads. Lastly, to repair the...

Repost!

Yup. You wouldn't save shit getting that Taurus. In 16000 miles I've saved about $1300 in gas alone by driving my Geo Metro vs. a 20 MPG car (which is about what your Supra gets). I get about 400 miles on a tank of gas, and it only costs me $25. Right now it costs me about $0.06 per mile to...

I vote keep the Supra and buy a Geo Metro like I did. On a really bad tank I get 42 MPG. On a good tank I can get 52 MPG. You can pick one up like I did for $1200 max, depending on the year and condition. The best combo is the 3-cylinder 5-speed 2-door hatchback.

Meh, I'll add a 2nd HD later. Not that important at the moment

I'll update the 1st post as the components change.

Pics and final specs will be posted. Just gotta get my finances available for this.

Ok, I'm going with Kai's suggestion. That's a hell of a difference for just a few bucks more.
