Put my coilpack cover on hmmmm

Well ive put 3500 trouble free miles on the engine. Other than the valve seal(s) on cylinder 4 which ill replace soon. Engine runs great. Unfortunately the suspension has issues. Needs bushings, and my outer tie rods are worn and need replacing. Power steering pump is leaking a little. Theres a lot on my plate and I haven't posted in a long time so hopefully i can revive my thread. Ill document my work like I used too again. Stay tuned

This thread is still a thing? O.o

I've been through about 4-5 cars since this has started

...you weren't kidding it started in 2007...holy hell. Though it is pretty interesting to have this kind of documentation..(can you call it that?).

The car has been good to me no reason to sell it now is there. Plus if I did I have this strange feeling HateSkylines would strangle me...

b*tch I'd buy it and then sell it back to you when you realized you f**ked up.

at least id get it back

So changing the 26yr old tie rods on the Supra proved to be difficult. Why you ask? Well first the nuts decided they wanted to stay frozen to the studs, but it was ready for my tactics. However I couldnt get them off tonight as it claimed my only tie rod fork. Dunno what kind of steel Toyota used on this but all Ive got to say is DAMN.

Im calling it a night ill work on it in the morning.

You wanna buy mine...HAHA...ha....>_>

Uploading pics now, after examining the rack and pinion ive decided this b*tch needs to go, so for now I will have shiny new outer tie rods and a f**ked up rack. But thats ok because a new shiny rack will come soon.

25yr old tie rods mmm

HOLY CRAP I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN FOREVER.

Blue - Walbro is, but not because of quality, because of price. Their fuel pumps are kinda cheap and unreliable in long term use.

well new wheels will be on the car soon got a free set of Supra TT wheels albeit beat up.



also helping out a 17yr old kid with his first turbo car. MK3 Supra with 66k on the clock and guess what?

This godawful state. The Z is stored about 60 miles from where my wife and I live so... progress is glacial.... Not much time for posting either, with the changes to the database systems at work and other non-car projects. The GOOD news is that it's near running, and getting closer to how I want it to look. I check in here once in a blue moon, good to see that your project is still going along with some of the others. Yesterday I couldn't avoid commentary.

Been planning an update soon, so whenever the time comes...

You should check in more often. I took a peek at your build Im loving it.
