Enough of the SR20/240SX talk already! We are on a MK III Supra forum for krissakes! j/k :evil2: :icon_razz

That parts/donor car is an excellent find. Wish I could get one in similar fashion for my needs. Good luck with the near future build.

got the car running today.drives ok,until you get to 45oo-5000rpm,kinda feels like it has no power,like somthin holding it back. no codes,but im sure i will be tryin to figure out what the problem is,also i stopped at the store on the way home,came back out and saw a puddle of coolant under the car

when i popped the hood i saw coolant dripping from the intake plenum,kinda in the middle of it...couldnt tell exactly what it was dripping from,but definatly dripping from plenum area.

no smoke,but crank seal is gone.has a steady drip frk there when car is running,gotta replace that also i guess...all in all still pulls a helluva lot harder than the auto.

so,i gotta fix all those things mentioned,and put my interior back together dash and whatnot is still pulled apart.car is pissin me off a little.has me thinking about selling it.....more than likely not,but possibly
