Don't do it man!!! Buy yourself a super clean shell and upgrade... This is TOOOOOOOOOOO much work and money... I'll honestly think twice before I go this far ever again :biglaugh: Detail work like this is HARD :nono: - Next project, I'll just have a nice clean chassis with decent paint and decent finish...

look here :naughty: M70 V12

Miguel, I'm still around but not near as post hungry. It seems all I have time for is keeping up with for sale threads.

Please make David one of those intake manifolds so he can get his car running or at least come up with another excuse as to why he cant.


Your new parts look awesome as does the rest of the project.

I know exactly what you mean...It sucks, I wish I had more time to be browsing, but it seems I only find time while I'm at work mostly :biglaugh:

Dave doesn't want to... he wants to make his on out of ear wax. He says he almost has enough, but it takes time to collect enough... Then if he makes a mistake, he has to start alllll over again... :nono:

Thanks, I really like them! Don't know when I'll get to play with them, but they're nice to look at even like that...

Do you even get to go meets? I just went to the Philly meet...

...I can't believe I have never noticed this thread before.


But seeing as how I just spent more time than I like to think about, reading straight through all 94 pages- I demand compensation, in the form of this thing on the road with vids as proof. <3


Great stuff dude. Keep up the great work.

So, what's the ETA on this thing Miguel? :) I am sick of looking at that sig of yours. lol

Why are you sick of looking at it, jealous? :naughty:

Dude, you can't rush perfection! It took Toyota engineers 10 years! to develop the LFA. Who knows how long it will take me :biglaugh:

Good evening. I'm quite new to Supras, but not Camrys - I currently have a 98' XLE I4 (5S-FE) and the more I keep on reading this forum the more I want to get a Supra!! It's killing me! haha!
