Seeing you are new here I'll break the ice and go easy on ya. Welcome to Supra Mania :icon_surp That was my sentimental moment ha now for your questions. First thing people will say is use the search, and I will too, it helps a lot. Also try checking out the Cygnus page, a.k.a. the Supra bible...

It may be the little rice whispers in me that everyone has, but I kinda like the foglights. They remind me of Mazda 3 headlights or projection headlights see http://home.ict.nl/~ramklein/Mazda/Small%20-%20Headlight.jpg -Chris

I had prosport gauges (boost and oil pressure) on my old GSX and loved them. The "opening ceremony" thing is cool, but I am easily amused. I just hate electric oil pressure sending units, it's just chop chop chop on the prosport one, no smooth increase. Haha it was a 4G63 though, you never...

Could work, but it looks tiny if that's your thumb holding it. IMHO, uptown they sell transmission coolers from $24-$58 at Farm 'n Fleet (no it's not a farm equip. store, I don't know where the name came from). I picked up a 10"x15" (second biggest IIRC) for my better-than-stock oil cooler. If...

I think you're first on the list :biglaugh: An alternative line when he pulled up could have been "900 horses of Detroit muscle, I'd race you but last time I raced the chassis twisted coming off the line" or just turn your car off and step out and challenge him to a foot race, then you may...

Welcome to the forums. There are hundreds of people on here with your same ambition. Check out the Build-up threads and see the route others have taken. Hope you have a lot of time, money, and someone who can tune because you'll need it all. Good luck! Cambells-Put a gold flake on peal white...

The wheel offset? It's +37 -Chris

It's hard to come by genuine clevite 77's, as stated in many other threads. A lot of people are reboxing cheaper bearings in clevite boxes. ACL's have a good rep as far as I have heard, I'm using ACL's in my build right now. -Chris

There are many head gasket kits on ebay, I have the head gasket out of one if you want it. It cost me $38 to sonic clean my head and $24 to disassemble/reassemble the entire head and install new valve seals. That's all I would really do unless you want all new valves, springs, etc. Are you...

When I had my Z I kept burning two wires in the back, so I decided to make my own with a DIY over-the-valve-cover kit like the one shown 3/4 the way down. Pretty simple to do, just cut, lube, slip and splice hah. http://thunderracing.com/catalog/?action=vshop&vid=4&pcid=104 -Chris

That sucks, I hope you get your money back and the seller corrects the problem -Chris

So clean! Good snatch, but you need a center cap heh :evil2: -Chris

Today was my last day of spring break, so I'm not too pleased with not being able to clean the heck out of everything and paint it to match. Someday I'll get around to removing piece by piece and painting them but for now this will do, I have been without a car for about 4 months. Pretty sure...

I was cautious about heating the head, so I got a 6" extension and put a rag around then end of it and hit it with a hammer lightly and it popped out and works fine now. Thanks though, IJ you're always there to lend a hand!! -Chris

That may free the follower, until it cools back down, right? Why are they sticking when they were just removed not too long ago, with the only change being the head was cleaned with new valve seals? -chris

I posted this same thing in my build thread but nobody responds in there so I thought I would try in here because it's putting the pause on my build. When installing the lifter buckets, a lot of the intake ones were very hard to get in. I had them all in order, so I know they went in the same...

Anyone have advice on my cam follower problem?!? -Chris

I used to mess around in my Intro to CAD class designing wheels and making side profiles of civics ahhaha back in the day. It would take me like a week to get all the details and angles right. That motor looks awesome, a lot time was put into it I'm sure. I want to check out those other...

I got some more work done on my car but ran into a hopefully not too big of a problem. Got the HKS hg on, cleaned head is on doing 5 passes in 8 steps from 15-82ft lbs on the arp studs, cams in, painted water pump, timing belt tensioner, oil pump ds gear, cam gears and timing belt. When...

I got my head back today, looks great and it was cheap. $64.89 for disassembling head, sonic cleaning it, and reassembling with new valve seals. Looks brand new on most parts. Got it all done at Kalina Machine in Peoria. On to the pics! Closeup A head from far, far away -Chris
