I got the headlights fixed. Turns out, I installed the arm at the wrong angle. Now I have an issue with my power door locks. I had to take the door panel off :: angry :: to check continuity and voltages. Pisses me off after I assembled the damn panels. spent a couple of hours doing that tonight. Will pick up on that next week.

I have been playing with V.I.K.T.O.R though - Preeetty cool!


Post a video when you have a good one pieced together! (Try a montage of "A Day in the Life of Miguel's Supra"!)

Miguel, that door panel is pure sex!!!!!!


As for the MIB, I think that's a bit simple for such a complex piece of machinery like your supra. How does MDNAKBHGAAPBSB sound. It looks like it's written in Arabic, but it's basic english............lol

Miguel doesn't need a key because he's got an automatic push button start box.

Just checking in to see if there has been any progress

Long time no speak Miguel, you ever on Skype these days?

Hey Dan! I'm rarely on Skype. Since I check email mostly on my phone, I don't really login to skype/hotmail anymore.

I've done a few things to the Sup. Is just too time consuming to to take pictures and post and stuff. I'm still working on the suspension. I'll snap some pics and email you.

I did purchase this recently though... 670whp.

Wow, is that the same four door engine stand you sold to Wes, coming back with a different motor attached lol

You do indeed need to send me some pics, keen to see what you have been up to

That intercooler pipe off the TB which is black, what has that been coated with?

I just read through this whole thing, you are going to have a beautiful car when you are done. I don't know if I would be able to keep my sanity on such a long project. Make sure to post some pictures of the car when you get it all finished up!

That pipe is coated with a marble effect silver vein color. Same as the strut brace.

11 pages since my last responce in Mar. 2012. Seriously slow progress here, but progress none the less

I usually update my facebook page Miguel's Garage. So you can go there for recent stuff. I just made the page a couple months ago, so go there and like the page.

Now... Some Progress pics so you can stop whining :icon_bigg

Triple disc 5.5" clutch - one off made specifically for the 7M.

I've been doing small things here and there as time allows. Sold my built 7M a while back. Now have a 7M at the machine shop currently, but I'm having second thoughts about which engine to go with again...

Wow progress looks great, loving the black alternator, what paint did you use for that?

I was about to say good to see you are going 7M again and then you have flip flopped again and aren't sure lol
