I bet you were there. Was that you in the silver SC300??

Yeah, I ran a 13.27@101mph. For some reason I really thought I was going to do better than that. My mph was exactly the same when I ran that 14.63 last time out when my clutch was slipping. I thought that was strange. Miguel and some friends were there. I told you guys I was bad at names. We had a good time. Hopefully Miguel got some good footage and will post the runs when he has the time.

No I didn't get to make it out there. But, I know one of the guys workin in the tower. Was talkin to him and he mentioned some supra guys and I recognized your car when he described it.

If anyone knows someone with a JZZ30/Soarer engine harness for sale please let me know. I'd rather not pay 1200 for Tweak'd Performance to build me a harness. Then I'll be getting full suspension and all bushings cause it feels like my car is gonna fall apart sometimes lol

Also going to talk to a buddy of mine about pre-ordering the new Subaru BRZ, what are your guys' thoughts on the BRZ/FRS?

Looking good Mike.

Travis, I asked because there was a silver SC300 out there that night running. I don't remember the color of your car, but I thought it was you.

 

[slopra]

Oh, mine is a dark grey/silver/gun metal whatever you wanna call it lol

Looks good. 2.0l 4cylinder RWD... sounds good to me. You know there's going to be aftermarket for this car. New and with a warranty, what are you waiting for?

 

[slopra]

Waiting for Tuesday when he gets back from vacation lol
6spd, LSD, integrated GPS/bluetooth, lowest center of gravity of any production car, sport seats, and yes tons of aftermarket will be available I'm sure.
All for ~25k

Beats daily driving my loud open exhaust, no AC, no heat, no radio, beat to hell interior SC300 lol

I know a guy in Austin that's always wiring up 1jzs. If you want I can give him a call.

I wish there was a turbo model. Subaru is talking about making an sti model in about a year that will be turbo. This won't be my turbo car though so it's not that big of a deal to me. Just want a nice daily driver that handles really well, good on gas, comfortable, and decently fast. I'll probably do I/H/E

I know a guy in Austin that's always wiring up 1jzs. If you want I can give him a call.

Please! I'd really appreciate it.

 

[Vrank!!!]

Hey Slopra hit me up, I'm in Austin and can prob help you with the harness. I'm actually dropping the 1j in gf's sc today.

 

[S.A. supra]

Yeah travis, he's legit! I've know him a year and he's always dropping a engine in something. I just told him last week he should start a wiring service locally, because he's damn good at it.

 

[slopra]

Awesome, just PM'ed you Vrank

Btw, bout time you've made some headway on the 2j swap, I've been waiting on an update forever! lol

 

[S.A. supra]

Worked on my car all day, and still couldn't finish the harness. What a pita!

 

[Suprapowaz!(2)]

You'll have it done before you know it. Just keep chipping at it.

do i need longer studs to run mustang wheels? i only have 4 threads showing... never heard of this

 

[S.A. supra]

Tah-dah..........

 

[Suprapowaz!(2)]

do i need longer studs to run mustang wheels? i only have 4 threads showing... never heard of this

Any pics of it? I'd be a little worried, but doesn't the lug nuts sink in the stud holes a little?

 

[Suprapowaz!(2)]

Wiring all done? What's next?

 

[S.A. supra]

Yeah all done..... Now to tackle the fuel system, fuel lines, fuel filter, and buy a banjo bolt for the fuel rail I lost. Then coolant system, and finally try and fire it up. Maybe in three weeks if everything goes right.

 

[san supra]

looks like these wheels take acorn nuts and that is not going to give it enough threads...ill take pics later

 

[satx88supra]

Well i decided to take my running Supra off the road. I'll be starting a build thread of getting it back together. I'm gonna be pulling the engine today or tomorrow to fix some oil leaks and rewire harness. Plans are to make it easy to look at so i'm going to paint it and get the inside nice and purdy. I'll be upgrading the clutch and pressure plate while the engine is out. Well thats the plan so hopefully i can have it done by the end of the month. Has anyone painted their own car or know anyone with a "fair" price. I want the engine bay painted also.
