What did you do to your supra today? Pics

[IBoughtASupra]

Ahh yes, see you were at the Baldwin meet done by Yogi my fellow NY'er.

Well, for starters, you have to purify yourself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka.

It's also the same color as JELLY... how convenient.

Took it to a local Supra meet after sitting for 7 months, still pulls strong at 20psi.

LOL...I should hope so! That car is down right BADASS! Beautiful!

I have the lovely duty of adjusting my valves. Is it true that I can use shims from a Yamaha or Honda? I had heard a rumor, but I can't find an exact answer. I'm on kind of a tight budget, and dealer prices are a bit steep. Also, since I have this all opened up I assume that I should check my Head Studs? If they're aftermarket (ARP I believe), is there a different Torque specification? Also, are the injectors on a N/A 7M supposed to be 550?

Thank you,

Greg

NA injectors are normally 330's.

 

[KicknAsphlt]

yes -- old Honda 750 IIRC from the early 80s....I found it in a thread on here somewhere when searching for it.

seam sealer...

rocker guard underside of floor....

^PPG Epoxy base white.... needs second coat after rocker guard (as seen in spare tire well)

Holy hell. Love your project. You should post an update on your build page. It's been almost 3 years hah.

Thanks. If injectors are dirty, will they make any noise?

Thanks! I sat for a good hour and found the valve adjustment page. I think that I'm going to hit some junk yards here and pull shims from some cars... Camry(86-91), Celica(83-93), Cressida(88-93), Corolla(83-99), MR2(84-91) or Tercel (94-99)... I'm pretty sure that I have one of two 7m's in my city. Both are inside 4Runners! SoDak isn't a Toyota friendly place...

build thread to come soon.... once the chassis is done being prep'd... I didn't want a 100+page thread of "this is the 6 hours of this week...."

otherwise; more seam sealing today; and test fitting/drilling body holes for 89+ spoiler/trim...

I fixed my speedometer today. It's the little things you know...

 

[suprahero]

LMAO...when I completed my GTE/154 swap my speedometer AND tach weren't working. Figured out why the tach wasn't working and I figure as long as I can see redline now, I'm good. Still haven't fixed the speedometer. LOL!

 

[Turbo Habanero]

^^^ as long as you have a rev limiter I think youll be alright lol.

 

[te72]

I found out the harassed way that my transmission has a speedometer gear from a car with the 4.1 Torsen diff... Honestly officer, I didn't realize I was doing 90mph, speedometer read 75. Oooohhhhh... wait a minute, I know why now... sorry about that. :: facepalm ::

I replaced my driver side door hinges and door today, the hinges were shot to hell, had to lift up the door to close it.



Door closes like a dream with one finger now! Took me about half an hour to get the alignment just right though lol

DISCLAIMER: That is not me in the picture, that's my slightly retarded, 300ZX owning (and loving) friend lol
