well guys heres the update the motor is pulled and im getting ready to clean up the engine bay and paint it im suck on colors i dont know what one to use blue or black. Im leaning for blue because im going to get the car painted blue one of these days but black would go great eather way. Now for the engine i got all new bearings put in and got a new water pump timming belt. I got my HKS head gasket now im just waiting on my arp head studs. im going to start production on my custom intake manifold soon i will see how that turns out but i hope it is good. well i will keep you guys posted.

dude i about gave up too, like 100 times, i got my first supra... my sister picked it up for me, obviously didn't check the oil or coolant, she was doin like 120 in a supra that hadn't been driven in 2 yrs... ::bhg:: all the coolant evaporates, she's still driving, my piston rings crack, oil is burning everywhere and plastic and rubber parts that are near my engine are melting... so we tow it to my house (i never drove the thing, mind you), so it's parked in front of my house (still havn't driven it), guy hits it w/ a tahoe and runs, altho i had a pic of his plates and a piece of his car that he left when he hit mine, the cops wouldn't do shit... so i got the car i have now, drove it for like 200 miles... rod knock (the problem existed before i had the car, bearing just hadn't spun yet) and the entire cooling system was brand new (rad., water pump, everything) was also running w/ out a thermostat. This was hiding the fact that there was rediculous amounts of friction going on inside of my motor, because w/ all of that new, the car would sometimes start to overheat if you even started to get into boost. Anyhow, it broke, so i got another motor from japan (mind you all of this has been done w/ my money, and i had to sell the 87 turbo to fix the car i have now)... this all happened from the age of 16-17 for me :-/, but it works perfectly now
, and i couldn't be happier, just don't ever give up, it'll all come together soon enough :biglaugh:sorry for the thread hijack :-/... i couldn't resist
:ttiwwp: of new motor

well i will get some pics soon. i have a few more pics to take then i can post some more alot more I will also post pics of the new motor.:naughty:
Have we learned out lesson on what happens to an engine when all the oil goes to one side of the pan?
The engine 7mgte all stock.
this was taken before i lowered it.
this picture is of the front after it was lowered.
this next one is after the front end settled down.
and here is the whole thing done it still needs to be fine tuned and i think im going to raise the rear about 1/4 -1/2 inch.
Im also thing about lowering the front a little more just to give it the stance i want. but i will look at it for a few days and see where its at.
The suspension is awesome so far i havnt done to much with it but a few little runs but im liking it. i took a 40mph corner at 65 like it was nothing and then the fallowing corner witch is a 40 with a late apex at 75 and the back end started sliding but then it planted it was great some little 4 door accord was trying to fallow me. lol
