    Anyone out there in MI?

    Yup, on the outskirts of campus. I'll have to take a look at the map again. I think I took the back entrance to campus and it ended up being much closer/quicker to get to the lot the show is in.

    1UZ Supra swap

    The new balljoints and Megan Racing track-series coilovers were installed this past week. I started the installation on Wednesday after work and finally wrapped it up earlier today having put a little bit of time into the project each day between other commitments. I had to go out and purchase...

    Anyone out there in MI?

    http://www.gvsucarshow.com/ to preregister :) I am just a couple blocks south of Parchment near the Gull and Sprinkle intersection.

    Anyone out there in MI?

    Already on my calendar to attend. I am also already preregistered for the GVSU spring car show coming up April 18 and I'll probably head to the Grand Rapids Xceed BBQ on May 23. Balljoints and coilovers are installed now, just need to find a reliable shop to get the alignment done and also fix...

    Anyone out there in MI?

    Spotted a dark blue 89+ cruising Gull Rd. here in Kzoo couple of days ago, either another winter storage car or one not actually from the area since it appeared to be in excellent shape. Not counting mine and the one above, I have seen one white one headed towards Holland and there is an 89+ up...

    Anyone out there in MI?

    Since mine is now out of its Winter hibernation, I'll bring this thread back to life. I'm down here in Kzoo/Parchment area. Will finally be putting new suspension on it in the next weekend or two so it will be out of commission during that time but plan on making it out to several events this...

    1UZ Supra swap

    Yeah, hit me up on email and I'll send you the spreadsheet so you can see the price break down. I think you still have my address.

    1UZ Supra swap

    For those around the Chicago and St. Louis area interested in seeing the car, I am trying to plan a last minute trip, barring weather and budget changes, to St. Louis for this weekend. Will be leaving Michigan around 7PM EDT on Friday, March 13 and arriving in the St. Louis area sometime after...

    1UZ Supra swap

    So far it has cost ~$4800.78. I did miss recording some of the small, misc hardware like solder, solder iron tips, heat shrink tube, etc but otherwise this is pretty close. Still waiting on a set of coilovers and some new bushings for the ST bars so those two things together will ~$950 more to...

    1UZ Supra swap

    Yup, got the drive shaft in towards the end of last week and installed it on Saturday. What a difference in weight between stock and the Al shaft! I'll post up some pictures later in the week. Looking forward to taking the Supra out for a spin soon as the salt season ends here, and not...

    1UZ Supra swap

    Winter is almost over, so time to start Phase II of the project which has now been changed to doing a suspension rebuild instead of adding forced induction. FI is being moved to Phase III. In that regard, I will be placing an order for the track series Megan Racing coilovers which will help to...

    1UZ question

    You are correct. Unless Chris (cjsupra90) has updated his inventory of fabricated parts, there is no one who is selling the pre-89 mounts yet. I designed my own and redrocco (Lextreme member as well) also designed his own. On the note of wiring, not much really needs to be wired up if...

    1UZ kit/central authority?

    Are Chris's mounts still only for '89+ or does he now do pre-89 as well? If the growing number of comments/threads here and other places are of any indicator, seems like putting together a kit of the harder to find parts is an excellent idea.

    1UZ question

    Thanks for the correction Jake. Knew I was kind of fuzzy on which flywheel it was but figured you'd have the correct information :) What price range you looking at for the Al flywheels?

    1UZ Supra swap

    Nope, tach line from ignition/ecu hooked into Supra's dash harness. Most likely just get a Dakota Digital tach converter to dial it in so I can keep the stock look on the dash.

    1UZ kit/central authority?

    Still can't believe the list is dead. Hit me up sometime and we can talk about the swap. I can provide a list of parts required, with vendors, part numbers, and prices. There are still a couple of things that have to be fabbed, but otherwise it is a straight forward swap. BTW, my build...

    1uz in mkiii

    If I recall correctly, 6psi on the supercharger will get you in the low to mid 300's depending on tuning. Been looking into this myself and if I do go with a supercharger, I'll be going with a twinscrew or ducted type s/c instead. More efficient than the roots if I understand correctly. The...

    1UZ question

    Actually the bellhousing is not hard to find. Jeff Watson at Championship Toyota has them in stock, or at least did when I called to order mine. Was also the cheapest place I found a new 1JZ R154 bell housing at so I could use TTC Performance's adapter plates. BTW, Eric is the guy you want...

    1UZ Supra swap

    No bother at all. Always willing to help out where I can. Also happy that more people are even contemplating the swap and dropping by my videos to comment :) On a separate note, the car was moved to my connected garage after finding the detached garage with 2-3" of standing water in it back...

    1UZ Supra swap

    I may have some bad news although it is still too early to tell. I visited the 1UZ Supra in its storage garage today to start it up and go through its warm up cycle and charge the battery since it is parked for the winter. I plan on doing this each month and this is the first full month (been...
