What did you do to your supra today? Pics

[Drake69]

put new hood lift supports on

my old ones worked but were not 100% and didn't work if it was cold out unless the car had been driven the heat would make them work

my hood opens on its own by the time i get it half way open again

Feels good, don't it? Now do the back glass ones and you'll almost get the sense you have a new car... :biglaugh:

I thought I died and gone to heaven when I did mine last year.

Ohh, today I got signed onto my new Amsoil account and will be getting about 2gal. for my 2JZ build.

Feels Goodman.

Here is another video... Once we got the block up on the stand, we decided to hone it out. Block is now done with the hone, it has been degreased, and ready for paint.

haha i already did those about 2 or 3 years ago they still work like new (and that hatch is heavy with no supports on it) the front ones i replaced i think back in like 06 and like i said they still kinda worked just not 100% so i just got new ones from auto zone for about 40 bucks for both

I would hang onto the old ones, in case you get a lighter hood at some point, or if someone you know does.

(and that hatch is heavy with no supports on it)

Should try lifting the hatch on a 4th generation F-body sometime. Supras are heavy, those ones are obscene.

tried to get my meth kit running smoothly, didnt happen, i spliced switched power from my turbo timer harness, turns out thats a constant power wire, but thats nothing, i also have a break up/hesitation now which makes me ask what i should gap my plugs to since im spraying. HOPEFULLY thatll solve that. but i have aems failsave device too, and the alarm doesnt turn off, and it should after 5 seconds. and i installed a FCD (yes yes i know, i have supporting mods and a AFR gauge to keep an eye on it) but when i have it on my car idles like shit and rich as shit so i unplugged it til i get my meth under control. frustrates the shit out of me.

Pulled out the old intercooler and put in a Mishimoto one. Also ran new welded pipes to the turbo. The 2JZ IC also has an outlet to run pipes to the throttle body on the other side of the 2J.

Great job Turbo Habanero! Turned out real smooth it sounds like! I can't wait to hear the satisfying growl come from my two beasts...

Replaced rear main seal and resealed the rear main seal retainer, replaced reverse light sensor seal and speedo sensor seal on R154, installed new A/C compressor, new expansion valve, new transmission oil, coolant, and ATF for hydrofan and PS (only because I dumped all of it all over the floor). After everything was buttoned up (dp, exhaust, driveshaft), I realized I left the reverse light sensor connector unplugged. It sits directly on top of the transmission btw. SO I loosened bolts on the tranny mount to squeeze my hand up in there. I finally got it connected and when tightening the 12mm bolts my Supra decided to do something to me:



It ain't your car till you bleed on it, thanks heat shield!

All that work took me about 3 months. So yesterday was the first day driving it, and the PS rack blows a seal. FML.

over heated on the way to work again, replacing head gasket tonight.

I got shiny new pistons. Mmmmm.

I also stripped the old, cracked leather off of the steering wheel. The intent is to put new supple leather in its place.

I've replaced the leather on the factory shift knob, and the shift boot on the Supra. (Replaced the shift knob with a TRD one, so the one that I replaced isn't in the car anymore)

I'm going to use 2 shades of grey leather to re-cover the wheel. A lighter grey which matches the interior (More or less) and a darker grey for the 9 and 3 positions where I have my hands. At least that's the plan. We'll see how I feel after stitching the leather together.

Compression Check

Further proof to me my turbo is to blame for all the smoke coming out the back and the tablespoons of oil in my intake piping...

50 trim upgrade coated and polished from Aaron @ Driftmotion and CT-26 softline oil kit on the way shortly!

This is why I wear gloves any time I work on my car. Got tired of it biting me.

Picking up the '88 Supra FSM from a gentleman in MD. He is shipping it to me and showing extraordinary trust, so I'm posting this blurb to help allay any worries he might have about dealing with me in this manner.

 

[enjoi.this]

New set of sparkplugs, under hood clean, 20L of C12 and crank it up to 20 psi for race day

 

[suprarx7nut]

Dropped a grand with Driftmotion. New turbo, coated and polished, softline oil kit, hatch struts and battery tie down. Hell yeah!
