    DFW Meet Oct. 28

    They said to give five days. They took a used engine with the harness and all out of another supra and will swap it with mine. I'm crossing my fingers this will be a good engine. The head on it looks new.:x:

    Pretty damn proud of myself!!

    I went to a salvage yard today and "practiced" on a junked out turbo cluster. It was ridiculously simple and I felt like a dumbass for asking. I think I will just find a nicer non turbo cluster and replace the whole damn thing.

    Pretty damn proud of myself!!

    But how do you get your hands behind it? From underneath? And does the speedo cable just pop off or does it screw into the back of it?

    DFW Meet Oct. 28

    Cool. Taking the car to the shop tomorrow to get the engine swapped so hopefully will be ready by Friday. If it is I'll be there, hell I may just show up in my Chevy truck if it ain't ready yet.

    Pretty damn proud of myself!!

    No I have not due to the amount of trouble it would be (for me) to remove the cluster. I'm not quite sure what all is involved in removing the cluster. I don't mean removing the bezels but wiring and speedo cable. I'm afraid I'll f*ck something up.

    Pretty damn proud of myself!!

    Obviously my gauge is grounded somewhere. Is it possible for it to be grounded inside the gauge itself because I have corrected the rough spot in the wiring and checked out the rest of the harness and can't find any other defects. The guy who I bought it from said it started this after he had a...

    Pretty damn proud of myself!!

    Since finding this forum I've been able to correct some very annoying problems, so let me say thank you to everyone who advised me. The other day I replaced the bumper stops in the hatch and it no longer rattles, and today I replaced the bushings in the auto gearshift and it no longer wobbles...

    DFW Meet Oct. 28

    That's fairly close to me. I'm getting the engine swapped next week and hope to have it back by Friday. What's the turnout typically been? I will be there if my car is out of the shop. Forgot to ask if us non turbo drivers are invited also?

    Infamous code 52

    Do you know if the jdm swap has the jdm intake? If it does then I hear that 's a problem, although I'm new to MK3s so what do I know.

    Fixed Some Stuff Today

    Were the door hinges expensive and how difficult were they to replace?

    What are some good rock songs to listen to while driving about?

    Um, Barry Manilow! Just kidding. I've always enjoyed Seek and Destroy-Metallica and Detroit Rock City-KISS but then again, I'm older than some and younger than others. Edit-Actually not kidding. I do like Barry Manilow.

    hatch making alot of noise

    I replaced the bump stops in my hatch today and the rattle is gone. I would like to find the person who engineered that and bitch slap 'em. I about peeled the skin off my right palm trying to get those screws out. Luckily for me, my palm was toughed up from all those years of, you know, twisting...

    Here's a topic

    Below is a picture of my oil pressure gauge. It stays this way whether the engine is running or not. I checked and the wire is hooked up to the sending unit. No change when I disconnect it either. My question for you is, bad gauge or bad sending unit? I've never seen a gauge do this before.

    Auto gearshift

    Awesome. I'll pick up or order some bushings while getting my rear hatch stops. There's a bunch of smart mo-fo's here, appreciate it.

    Auto gearshift

    I've searched the forum for this topic but have not found it. Here's the problem (not really a problem, just an annoyance). My automatic gear shifter is loose and wiggles freely back and forth. Now I test drove a lot of Supras prior to buying this one and all the autos had the same issue. I...

    This is late but...

    Sweet '90 model Turbo. I like those wheels. I would like to have a 3 piece spoiler on mine as well. Just need to get mechanical issues resolved first, then will concentrate on cosmetics. That's a real nice MKII also. That's what I was going to buy if I couldn't find a descent MKIII.
