My 85 was running just fine, 160k...
but I was unhappy with the feel. So I yanked that motor out and am building a turbo 5m for it now...

Mine's been down since August getting a new headgasket, engine bay repaint, new suspension goodies, roll-cage, new clutch, ABS delete, excess wiring removal, etc.. The list goes on.
I hope to drive it again by summer.

My JZA70 has run fine since I bought it a little over a year ago. Only ever been down for upgrades, once for 2 days for an intercooler/hardpipes and once for a month and a bit for a turbo kit plus a few extras during that time as well.
So in July of 2007, I was driving along and I hear a bang, feel a bump, and then a crunch. I look in the rear view mirror, and there's my crank pulley bouncing down the freeway with the belts going everywhere! I've been building it since then and I keep adding stuff and not having time so it's taking forever. I just got the last few gaskets that I need the other day so now I'm getting very close to installation and then I just need to make some oil lines and it should run. I've been taking my time with this build to do it right. I had all the usual stuff done by the machine shop plus a few extras. every bolt has been cleaned and had either anti-sieze, thread sealant, or thread lock applied as appropriate. I re-wired every cracked or damaged wire in the wiring harness with soldered connections and covered in heat-shrink. I re-wrapped at least 70% of the harness also, with new wire loom for the whole thing. I painted the engine bay (every part was removed first). I'm re-wiring a bunch of other stuff that I keep meaning to do also but that I've never seemed to have time for. This thing is going to be 100% perfect when I'm done with it. There will be a build thread.
Been down since August, pissing oil and rodknock....rebuilding it now....*sigh* I'm getting antsy to get it running again though...lol.
Mine has been down for just under 2 years or so (since I bought it lol). It's awaiting a 2jz swap that i'm starting late April-Early May.
Then it's go time.

Supra runs fine. Course its only on 6 pounds so Not too much stress on things. My camaro is the car thats Down lol. Rebuilding it with all forged parts. its 3.8, Aiming for around 350rwhp. then when its done. Im gonna drive it. Pull the motor out of the supra, Build it to somewhere in the ballpark of 400rwhp.
car runs, but i have an oil leak around the cps area it seems. doesn't matter as it is winter storaged'ed!
