So I'm stressing. Going to take my supra to my work tonight and start on taking out the tranny to upgrade the pressure plate. Atleast I'll have access to a lift and can make a mess! Def not looking forward to it though
Bluechulappa's 89Turbo restoration
- Thread starter Bluechulappa
- Start date
Well I got a lot of stuff done last night. Basically I've gotta get the bitch starter bolts off and the rest of the tranny bolts and pull the shift fork out!
What a bitch to do transmission work! DAMN....
Installed finally!
Got everything done today except installation of the driveshaft, exhaust, slave cyl, tranny fluid. Gonna hopefully wrap that up after work on monday!

^ That's what I was just thinking lol. Would be a real pita to drop the trans having to lay on your back.
Nice work!
Nice work!
So I finished up the work tonight. The clutch pedal is quite a bit stiffer. But it seems to be all working. I drove the supra outta the shop tonight! My appointment at the tuner is set for 9am on the 5th of march.... Only 2 weeks out from TX2k11 :/ ahhhh! Crunch time!
Planning on turning all four rotors and getting brand new pads. Also may install a new rack and pinion cause mine is leaking! Anyone know if that's a major ordeal or not?
Oh and on another note look what showed up at my dad's work today

Going to the tuner in 4 days....
They are gonna be tuning my map ecu at powerfab automotive here in Houston, TX
The map ecu allows you to lose the afm so I've been trying to find an intake to replace my Lexus AFM and Apex-i power intake.
Went to advanced auto parts store and this was the best K&N filter I could find that looked like it might fit. I was skeptical because this cone filter has a 4" inlet!!!
But it actually fit nicely!
Just test fitting for now. Still need my afm to drive to the tuner. But I wanted to have something to replace it!
My lexus afm and apexi intake will be for sale after this coming saturday!

Where did you get the IC??!?! & if your dealership can get small things like that throttle spring can you ask if they can get a 1984 Toyota Celica Supra 5MGE Timing Belt Tensioner spring?
The IC I got locally, same specs as the one driftmotion sells on their website.
Got my inlet air temp sensor wires ready to be plugged in on Saturday...
Also added a vacuum T connector in the glove box area so I have a vacuum line running to my profec b boost controller and map ecu piggyback.
As the car sits tonight it is ready for the tuner on Saturday morning. I may change the oil cause I'm having a hard time ready the level on my dipstick...

So, I have this paper that I am suppose to be doing, but these 94 pages and 3 hours of awesomeness were waaaay to important!
Might fine job there sir!

Your car has come a long way from sitting in a junkyard to what it is now. Good job on giving this MKIII a good restoration. Last time I was in this thread was when your dad got the SC, been a while but keep up the good work.
you never did say why there was a $450,000 lexus at the shop, nor more pics of it.. lol
great build.. i wish mine was that far along.
