1UZFE SWAP DUDE!!!
don't use a dremel.... total waste of time. buy a 40$ die grinder and a box of discs. you'll have all the flash off in about 1/2 an hour as opposed to hours.
Man its been a couple of strange weeks.
I go out to my car and see that there is a tow notice on it. I talked to my landlord and they said it would be OK to leave the car without a registered tag in the visitor lot at my apartment.
Well few weeks ago, I have a bright green tow sticker on the car. Apparently police officers go around and check cars to see if they are stolen within a few miles around my university. So as it was, the car had NO front suspension on it, sitting on a steelie under the frame.
So quickly, I put the MK3 suspension back on to roll the car... Worked out something with a buddy, he is letting me keep it at his shop, works for me!
So now that the car is sitting at his shop, I got some more stuff for the car. Very minor, but stuff that is bothering me. Got a bunch of trim panels, armrest, console, glovebox, random trim pieces, etc... Picking up grey door panels for $40 with all electronics... I will dye those to match the blue and for the blue inserts, I picked up the other side at a yard. I will go back for the rest of the parts.
I may grab this W58 for $100 at the local yard. 150K miles.. not sure.. good price but unknown condition.
I will post pics later when I can (3 days left til Thanksgiving break)... but this is how the car sits... Hopefully I will be able to work on it soon... Been getting the SC back together. Too many projects at once!

Me too! I am trying to get m friend to make the bushings over this Thanksgiving break... maybe time will allow!
I just went back to the yard. Got almost every single interior piece to finish the car. I just need seatbelts for the rear (doh) and a couple misc things.
Also the Supra in the yard had H&R's, I picked up those. The intrax that was on the car are being sold, pm me if you want it.

I know JDM Supras came with 3 point seatbelts back in 86.5, we didn't get them until 1989, but if you remove the rear panels, you can see if your car is pre-threaded for them, and you can use the 3 pointers instead of the pre 89 lap belts..
just read what I said, I meant to CHECK and see if it's threaded, I'm not 100% sure it is, but you never know, there's all kinds of pre-threaded holes that aren't used in the Supra...
There are even ones in the rear, that are a PERFECT fit for a Do-Luck floor bar...

Some recent pics of the car... with all the stuff I got some junkyards and what not...
Picked up some H&R springs for $40, a BUNCH of blue interior parts. Also free tires, threw the H&R's on (damn it lowers the car in the front a lot more than the Intrax did... I like!)

1st time poster on these forums , Thanks for all the great pics and info guys.
I recently got a hold of a 91 N/A and am having some overheating problems ,and was considering doing this same swap. The interior and exterior are in great condition, but i want a little more power and reliability. seems like a 1uz with a (possible m90 supercharger, later tho) is my ticket. I'm saving up as much as I can cause I know it wont be cheap.
I see your in Tampa and YAY im in Brandon. So I was wondering if maybe one day I can goto the shop and you could bestow upon me knowledge, or at least once its up and running actually see it for myself.
dam 99$ for a 1uz? I was considering ebay , but it seems you a know a place I don't. coffer bros, gagel?
