no but i drained it. you still need that cps or head gasket?

If you need help with that tank let me know.

I have a cps, tps, tb, csi and a thermostat that i still need to put in the 7mgte. I am hopeful that it will do the job. If not I'll send it to the shop and admit defeat:cry: I'm gonna do that sat before the meet.

my car was originally an auto and had a 5speed swapped in by the previous owner...there's a couple how to's out there that will walk you through it...rounding up parts is the hardest part i assume...

I thought we were going to meet at Chacho's tomorrow. Is it not tomorrow, Oct. 10th?
san supra, do you have a decent headgasket for sale? S.A. supra, if you don't make use of it may I have a gander at it? I have a cheapie Ebay headgasket that I'm not going to use. If anybody wants that... you can have it.


BTW, if we do meet tomorrow can you bring that throttle linkage S.A. supra? That's if you can make it.

Aww man! I should have checked this thread before heading out. I would have brought cash to buy one. I wasn't sure you were going to be there or bring them. I would like to buy the felpro from you soon. Let me know when we can meet. S.A. supra, I hope I'm not stepping on your toes. Did you want that one?
It sure was nice meeting you guys, and shooting the bull ( http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/shoot+the+bull ).


I'm really pumped to get my Supra up and going now. I hope soon enough to attack a certain 1jz. Yeah that's right, I called you out! I'm coming for you! But first, would you happen to have a decent clutch disc for sale. I need some help.

Partial. Painted front bumper cover, blended the fenders, and rear bumper.

Complete paint on an Integra. It was in the booth prepped and ready to spray. Notice the overspray on the exhaust? I didn't mask this car. The owner of the car did. He was in a hurry to get it painted and skimp on the details. This was the last car I painted.

I've done lots more work, and helped other classmate with their paint jobs. I just wasn't able to get pics at the time. They take pics, and were supposed to email them to me. The didn't.

I had a good time you guys. It was lots of fun. Let's do it again next month.

I didn't need a head gasket my bro in law did, but he is undecided on what he wants to do. So its all yours.

As I was driving off I remembered the linkage. Sorry, about not giving it to you. I'll keep it in the old sup maybe we can meet up some time. or at the next meet perhaps.

Nice ass paint jobs! Maybe you can paint my 89 when I get her up and running. I wouldn't be a cheap ass about it. Look on page four and you'll see picks of the 89. I has a couple of dents and if you look above my bro in laws head you can see the two spots where the clear coat is peeling.

san supra I'll keep an eye out for a supra for your friend. We need to get him in a sup. So he to can be frustrated and irritated. it's only fair.

Depends on condition of the existing paint, what all you want done, how far in detail you wanna go, and what brand of paint you prefer.

What kind/brand of paint and primer do you have? What type of paint is it? Single stage? BC / CC?
