Default Thank you for Sharing your knowledge!

I have never joined a forum before, but this time I had to, just to thank everyone.
A little about me: I got my supra in a trade, I didn't know much about it except it looked like a nice car but needed work, just didn't realize how much. I was intimidated by the engine compartment, never having owned anything turbo. Here is what I have done since March of '09:
· New head gasket set, including intake, turbo, & valve cover. (had to redo this after finding this forum, now has ARP head bolts torqued to 82#)
· New oil pan gasket. ( I cheated, but there is no leaks)
· New trans pan gasket.
· New belts.
· New rack & pinion.
· New throttle position sensor.
· New fuel pressure regulator.
· New knock sensor.
· New spark plugs NGK Iridium Plugs and NGK Wires
· New thermostat.
· New headlights and fog lights.
· New lower ball joints.
· New Tires (Goodyear Assurance TripleTread P225/50/16)
· Rebuilt starter solenoid
· Front end alignment
Also Added a 3" Titan DP, and 5 washer shim to wastegate, and all new vacuum tubing. It's my daily driver so I wont get too carried away.
I would still like to paint it and give it some nice wheels. My car is not a show car or a race car, but it is fun and mine.
My sincerest THANK YOU to all of you on this forum who have taken the time to share so much knowledge and experience! I have learned so much, and never had to ask a single question!
I'll post pics soon.

I have a N/A 87 MKIII- while working on it my throtte postion sensor cable connector fell appart. I would like to know if some one could tell which color wires go to which terminal.t
