I just screwed the mount to the base of the A pillar. It actually is really neatly done and next best thing to a pod. (only had one gauge and couldnt find a single pod replacement) I have just off the dash enough to get your hand under it so its not in my line of view while driving, but I can...

If I were changing color, I would go Cherry, Candy Apple Red or Black. But.. thats just me.

lol, the 3000 pipe is quite common (and restrictive). The HKS pipes aren't for sale anywhere anymore, hence.. rare. On a different note, broke in the engine all day. 600 km of driving, downtown, around town and highways. Good sunny day, low traffic and no sitting behind any trucks without...

Its just a rare part really. 2.5" as opposed to the 2.25". Hoping to keep it when I go with a new intercooler and hardpipes. The only hardpipe on this right now is the intake pipe to the HKS. It has a Silicone hose going from 2.5 to 2.25 to meet up to the rest of the intercooler. I intend to...

Perfect snow.. havent seen that type of snow since the 80's... lol. Dont miss shoveling it, but I do miss driving in it.

Engine bay photos (54 km on engine at this point)

Yes and no. The difference between the celica and supra is the 4-6 cylinders. Officially the first Supra (yes Celica Supra) was 89

did you say something shoved into the AFM? Explain that please. Kinda curious.. did you redo the head gasket yourself? Normally if its bad enough to get zero compression, you have more than just a gasket issue... (is why I ask). Sounds like someone took a baseball bat to your engine. Me...

well, if your like me, you will be imagining the beauty inside your engine while your driving it once you get it going. :P I have 54 km on my rebuild so far, and I find that I am picturing the pistons flowing smoothly up and down in a well honed chambered while I drive.. its kinda nutz.. but...

What do you think of those lights? Good quality? I was debating getting them. How did they compare to the stockers?

We all gotta start somewhere.. lol I had the 1980 and 1981 Celica's back in those days. The 80 got totalled, but it was a very fun car to drive. Never drove the MK1 Supra, but did drive the Cressida of the same era. Peppy, but the MK2's were the real beginnings of the Supra name.

I have the Martin Crawler Urethane Shifter bushing and a new cap bushing for the shifter in there, and the old rubber one is not. I think the rubber one absorbed vibration whereas the urethane once doesn't, so I have to add in something to absorb some of the "buzz". However, if I can't, at least...

ahh, I think the rubber dampener was removed because the bushing was a little high. Think I may have to get a new one and just shave the bushing.

They had 4 months to go over everything.. lol. I had aftermarket red silicone vacuum hoses, they are all gone, all the hoses under the hood are new (even the accordian). The hard pipe was a pleasant surprise, the guy who welded it did an excellent stitch, very clean. All in all, this cost me a...

Took a vid with my iphone of the engine bay and HKS twintips. Nice purr... http://youtu.be/iCDXmjIK_K0

I don't think I have ever driven my car in the rain. I want to take it out to break it in.., but I had such a botch if a time getting it onto the driveway... Saturday or Sunday I will finish the break in. I really want to see this lady dyno'd Put a vid of the engine running (engine bay and...

Lol... I have to get the bumper resprayed anyway and then I'm 3m'ing it. Took it to okotoks and back after rush hour. Wouldn't let any trucks near me.. Was fun : ) Summer tires still..

After about 1-2 minutes run time, the gauge starts reading about 15.2. Normally this car doesn't run in winter.. but it just got out of the shop. Still around the freezing temp here, so I thought it may have been that. Yesterday was the first day it was outside of a shop since October. It may be...

I'll post up the paint label in a little bit. It is a Toyota paint color but not quite stock for the Supra. Close, but has a red flip and far more metallic than original grey. I figure thats the best way to show the color code.. lol.

Okay.. that makes a lot more sense now. Cold start, I am running very rich then or my Wideband is reading oddly, because I see it at 17.7 or - - - (no reading). While driving, its almost always fluctuating between 14.7 - 15.2. I dont have a number at WOT because I have been avoiding that during...
