Messing around with my car again.

I got the car dropped off. Now I've just got to wait for him to get through with it.
I got a few things in from www.driftmotion.com today.
Sorry for the humongous pictures. It's been a while since I posted any on here and my photobucket is in the XL mode I guess. lol

I also bought the new rubber/ plastic pieces that go in the hatch to make them stop squeaking. In my package from Aaron at Driftmotion was a cool key chain that looks like an actual Tein coilover with the wrenches, and two pieces of candy. How can you beat service like that? You can't. It's like a sore peter, you just can't beat it..............lol
Got a call from Walker today. He's had my car for a week, but he just got through with his other projects today. He's getting started on mine and will hopefully have it finished in a few days. He's pointed out a few things under the car that I've got to fix. The plastic part that holds the fuel lines up and protects them is gone. All the tabs are broke off and it's held on by a zip tie. I'll have to get some clamps and fix that. I'd hate to have something on the road rip my fuel lines off.
Post pics once fini!
Just installed new leather and buttoned up a few other things.
My engine bay has changed considerably since I've had this thing the last couple of years.

Good to see you are giving her some fresh attention Jay. Morgan's work, well.... it speaks for itself. We are lucky to have him so close here in the Ham.
Got my car back and everything is better than I was expecting. Sounds quieter because he added a small magnaflow muffler halfway in the exhaust.
I've got to jack the car up today and fix my fuel lines where they've come loose from the hanger. I've got some new hangers for them. I'm also going to change the washer on my oil plug since it's been draining. I've also got to remove my cam sensor and change the O ring on it because it's been leaking. Hopefully that will stop all oil leaks for now.
One day next week I'm taking my car to a local shop that said they could change out my bushings for me. They're going to give me a quote and see if I can live with it and see if it's worth the cost for the smoother / quieter ride.

I haven't been able to do the new bushings yet since my car has decided not to crank for the last three weeks. I hope to work on that this week. I've been busy with work, and I also had to go to tunica for a few days and play in some poker tournaments......lol
Alright, I found the problem. With the help of a local supra owner / electrical guy, we've determined that it's the coils. I have the 1zzfe coils and they're getting power to them, but they're not firing. Jason took reading on one of my coils and then went home and checked his, and they're totally different. I've ordered new ones and they should be here after Christmas. Hopefully this will fix everything.
Now, my question is why would they have been running fine and then not the next day. I'm wondering if they somehow got a power surge through them somehow that hurt them. I don't know what would make all six coils tear up at one single time unless something like that happened. It also scares me to install six new coils and have the same thing happen again. Any suggestions?

It wasn't the coils. All coils work fine. It's in the wiring harness. It seems some homeless rat got into my car and started eating away at my wiring harness. I was getting power to the coils but they wouldn't fire. If I hooked them up to a battery and a resistor, they would fire. Something in the harness was broke. I'd caught a giant rat in the engine bay a couple weeks prior to this happening and I had to rewire all of my coil packs. He undoubtedly came back and was hungry again.
I've got a brand new harness being wired by a local supra guy. I'm going with the ms3pro and hopefully this will fix everything.
Updates willl be coming soon. We're hoping to put the harness back in next weekend.
