I still stand by my statement that 99 times out of 100, the problem with the MKIII is the owner.
This thread does nothing but reinforce that.
First post was this:

Then a week or so later you hit us with this brilliant post:

Which I'll spare everyone the grief and not quote. (Read at your own risk folks, it's painful...)
But to sum up that post, in it you tell us that you "over heated and fucked up sick" your old Supra and that you are now beating the living shit out your current car, that it smells like burning oil when you do, and that you don't have a fucking clue what to do about it. All the while you've bought meaningless rice boy upgrades, but have done nothing to fix the car.
So neither you, nor your wonderful "mechanic", could diagnose a basic problem with your old car. You spent more money on not fixing it than many people spend on forged internals. You fucked it up, and then sold it. Why? Was it the car's fault that you don't understand basic maintenance? That your "mechanic" isn't much of a mechanic? That you overheated it?
Please note that this was a car in it's original factory configuration. The motor in it was the one that came with it, and you could actually get a shop manual for it.
So your answer to this problem was to sell that car, buy another one (this time an N/A) and then to to perform an engine swap "either tomorrow or next week", whatever that means. But not only a swap, but a swap to an engine that was either:
A. Only available overseas
-or-
B. to an engine that was never available in the car at all.
You don't even know which one of them was twin turbo nor do you even know why you'd want a twin turbo, but you've just decided that you do.
If you couldn't deal with a car with a factory wiring harness, how the hell are you going to deal with one that has been hacked to hell to install an engine in it that it never came with?
Do you actually engage in thought before choosing a course of action? Or do you just get blown around like a leaf on the wind and keep wondering how things go bad for you?
Seriously. I've read some stupid shit around here, but this is extreme.
I should rename this thread "Two Supras down the drain..." because that will be the end result of this. And the problem isn't the car...
