Couple of updates...

New door lock bezels straight from Toyota, along with the slave cylinder hardline I bent the hell out of putting the engine in.

Brand new accordian hose from Horse Power Freaks

I will have more pics of the other things i'm getting on Friday night.

New parts from Driftmotion!

New Aisin Slave Cylinder

2.5" IC pipes with a TiAL BOV adapter with two 2.5" to 2.25" couplers

On Tuesday next week I'll be getting my TiAL BOV. I need a driveshaft. I found one in Miami but the guy wants $150 and I'm not looking to spend that much. But if I can't find one soon I'll give in and go buy it. I'll put the intercooler and the piping on tomorrow if it doesn't rain.

I bought a few new parts. I have 89+ tail lights and a drive shaft coming to me. I'm having some trouble putting the intercooler pipes in, lol. But I'll get it eventually.

A couple of parts....

A used Stewart Warner Boost Gauge

And a new TiAL 50mm BOV

Another new part

Adjustable Fidanza Cam Gears

I put the new slave cylinder and hardline in earlier today and replaced the broken ISC hose with a piece of 5/8" heater hose because i broke it by accident. I also installed the boost gauge. I just shoved it into the ashtray slot for now. So now all thats left is hooking up the IC piping and the driveshaft. And then it's on the road.

man you're on a roll

dcrusupra · 03-29-2007, 06:14 PM

Lol. I'm about done with this roll. I just have a couple more things coming. A driveshaft and 89+ tails. Now it's just a waiting game until something breaks or blows. Only a MKIII Supra owner would say that.

Which is when I'll start my rebuild. Then I'll be on another more expensive roll in which each part will cost $500+. Lol

dcrusupra · 04-05-2007, 07:58 AM

Ok, well I got all the intercooler piping on, the blow off valve hooked up, the driveshaft on, and fluid in the transmission. I went to hook up the clutch and realized I had to get a new rubber hose that is a Toyota only part. So that ended my fun because I swore to myself that today would be the day it drove. So now all I do is sit in the car, rev it, and pretending like I'm driving. It's sad. :3d_frown: . I had to buy a new battery also cuz my last one was dead. On another note, I got all my dash lights working. It was the stupid dimmer switch. I had an extra one laying around. Although I could've sworn I changed it. It looks pretty bad ass at night with all red. I'll take a pic and post it here.

I guess I hooked up my boost gauge wrong because it's not reading boost. I'll fix that another day tho.

IHateHacks · 04-05-2007, 12:38 PM

As far as your boost gauge, I see that it is only a boost gauge not a combination vacuum/boost. You will not make any boost revving the engine in neutral.

I'm just curious, but what rubber hose are you talking about that has to do with the clutch?

dcrusupra · 04-05-2007, 04:44 PM

It's the last rubber hose coming from the clutch master cylinder. It attaches to the hard line that goes to the slave cylinder. It's a simple fix but dammit i wanted the car on the road already. And now i have to wait until friday. I need to get my daily driver to the dealer for some repairs under warranty.

dcrusupra · 04-06-2007, 01:23 AM

Well, tomorrow I should get the short rubber clutch line tomorrow. And if I do, I'll definitely have the car on the road. A couple more pics.

Red dash LEDs. Some of the lights look dim but I can assure you they are all mighty bright. But like some have said, you can't see where the redline starts. O well. We all know where it is anyway, lol. And the picture makes some of the climate control lights look orangish but they are red also.

And a picture of the upper intercooler pipes and TiAL BOV. Since I didn't hook up the power steering I took out the reservoir.
