Haha, actually thats just the stock reservoir after 800, 1200 and 2000 grit!! I was really surprised at how well it came out.

Is the CPS set right? I haven't worked on a 7M in a while but isnt the CPS supposed to be adjusted somewhere in the middle. I am talking about the location of the bolt on the range of movement for the adjustment it has.

should be right, it's how I had it set before. the instructions on the TSRM say to have it in the middle as you put the CPS in, but it rotates as it does, so you have to compensate a little for that. main thing is that the pickups are lined up at TDC.

I need to pull up this thread the next time I'm doing a project on the Supra. You get everything fucking spotless. I can't grasp how you're able to do that on every part!

I'll definitely use your CPS pictures as inspiration when I do mine. Mine looks horrible right now and has a chronic leak.

Well done, man. Well done. Cant' wait to see the final product.

Thanks guys!!

yeah, they're true 3 piece. CCWs brah!!

Yeah, the CPS was a little bit of work for sure. If you need extra seals lmk, I have the links bookmarked somewhere.

Sup Mike! Yeah, still hoping to get her running by TX2K13, still in Austin too. I don't remember how to align the CPS... lol I did it right the first time... but then I forgot fml.

I'm in San Antonio now. I did drive my sup down on her own power but she still needs some work. I'm getting back into it. I hope to get her legal and back on the road within the next month.

Yeah, I think when the time comes, I will go with the K57s. A good balance of modern and classic. Will go perfectly with my Supra.

Still debating on using these. If I do, it will have to wait until I go manual.... I just don't like how they are much glossier than the stock gauge faces
