    This may be old news to most of you but I saw one of these cars this morning while eating at Denny's with some firefighter friends.

    What in the hell have I gotten myself into?

    Well it starts here http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39828 So now I guess I'll start a build/rebuild thread. First off, when I went to pick up the engine, I was told there was an argument over what they were selling the engine to me for. One guy was pissed over the amount...

    Intercooler mounting question

    I am going to do a GE to GTE swap sometime in the near future and was wondering about the intercooler. I have an 89 NA and recently bought a stock intercooler. I've heard these will bolt right up to NA's since the holes are already there. Do you have to relocate the coolant reservoir or...

    Instrument cluster wiring

    I've been searching but have not been able to find the answers. When you do a NA-T swap and replace the instrument cluster, do you have to replace the wiring harness from the ECU to the cluster?

    Failed inspection

    Well I got the exhaust fixed so don't sound like white trash anymore. I then went to get it inspected and it failed. The "Nox" came back to high. The guy said the exhaust is too rich. Anyway, took it home and was looking under the hood and found the hose from the charcoal canister to the fuel...

    status report

    Well now that my headgasket is fixed, the car is running well although it sounds very white trash due to the exhaust leak. The toyota dealership ordered the wrong donut gaskets for my car so having to wait a little longer before I get that fixed. I seem to be leaving a trail of power steering...

    It's Fixed!

    Well I picked up my Supra today and was able to drive it 100 miles home. My thanks to Christian w/DFW Supras for fixing it so fast and cheaply (IMO). I learned my headgasket was not blown but burned from a botched "whatever" that was done before I had it swapped into my car. Also learned it was...

    Time for more education...

    So I'm not totally lost anymore, could someone explain the 1JZ and 2JZ thing? Was the 1J made for MKIII's or did they come from a different vehicle. Is there an N/A model? 2J made for MKIV? Did they come in any USDM vehicles? Signed Still learning in DFW Ken

    Spoilers

    I know all turbo models came with spoilers but did na's come with them after 89? If so was it something you had to special order? Just curious. Ken
