yah right now I just want to lightly mod the v8. intake, exhaust, and nitrous.

The 1jz is so cheap and it came in the soarer so the intall is fairly straight forward if I get the soarer 1jz. Its supposed to easier than the sr20det swap. I don't see any complaints about support but certainly if you went to build the motor I wouldn't have any choices. I can put on fmic, big turbo, big injectors, standalone, without any troubles and have plenty of hp to get me into trouble. The 5 speed would be a lot of fun too like you said!

nash where are those 1jz's at in vancouver? price?

NashMan 04-14-2005 01:29 PM

well if you really wana run there in van i thinkteh price wiht trans i thinks was like 1500 look int eh phone book and you will see it

they import jap mtors the guy who answe the phone hard ot make senc cause he has really no english skillz

but i still would go 2j 3.0 1j 2.5 with bigger turbos suck need the displment for les lag and lag is gay plsu i see 2j on ebay alot and there not that exp and wirieng them up is not really that hard at all if you have some fallowing the wire skill's

plsu the 6 sped does fit down side is the shift will sit about 2 inc back bit nto is no big deal and tranny suport you can just amke one and then get it wedled up

but that si all i really want to say to get off my chest

TouringTeg 04-14-2005 06:53 PM

1jz = came in soarer in japan which means you have to extend 10 wires ! bolt in.
2jz = waaaay more wiring. 4x the price !

I'm not prepared to spend 8-10 on a 2jz.

Paradox 04-14-2005 08:39 PM

why go from a v8 to a 2.5 liter tho? even for the 5spd i couldnt personally justify it...

guess if thats what you want kudos!, 1jz would be original atleast.

btw ryan i found some gun-metal'ish paint in my shop and painted the upper I/C pipe. gotta buy some more for the rest....

looks ok for now

Enraged 04-14-2005 10:55 PM

ryan you got a helmet for sunday?

i might go

NashMan 04-16-2005 01:08 AM

yae i got hellmet you can use

Slate 85GTS 04-16-2005 02:00 PM

Anyone here know of anyone that wants to buy my supra? Im realling interested in selling it now. If i could get $5500 bucks id be happy. Email me (bob_cotton67@hotmail.com) if anyone is interested and i can give you my mod list and some pics... Its got a fresh Cometic MHG.

NashMan 04-16-2005 04:37 PM

well that is kinda out of the blue sinc you just got it runing or did you go for gas and say wtf these is just no worth it any more

Slate 85GTS 04-16-2005 09:14 PM

No... ive just decided that its time to move on... i cant afford to keep putting money into it or afford the expensive gas for it or anything anymore. I figure right now its all in prime running condition being basically a fresh rebuild and stuff its a good time to sell it... only problem is im selling it at a loss but thats pretty much par for me. I will probably end up getting a bike with the money from the supra when i sell it.

Enraged 04-17-2005 12:47 AM

you can get more than that for it

go to the local high schools and put up posters, you will get lots of interest :) just be sure to state "no test pilots".

if i were you i would ask at least $6k, preferrably 6.5. i paid $7k for mine...

Enraged 04-17-2005 12:49 AM

oh ya, i (we) made progress on my car today! ryan helped me get the head on, then he proceeded to pillage my trim... if the weathers good tomorrow ill finish torquing it down, install the new taillights, and clean up the places where the trim mounts....

Slate 85GTS 04-17-2005 08:36 AM

I know i could get more for it... but i just want it to move. By selling it cheap i was hoping someone would jump on it right away.

Enraged 04-17-2005 11:07 AM

hell, id buy it if i had the cash...

Slate 85GTS 04-17-2005 05:23 PM

Yeah, well i think i might insure it coming up here soon and then drive it around until someone shows some interest otherwise i might have to keep it anyways... Not many people with money these days it seems. But id like to sell it and get a bike or something i think.

NashMan 04-17-2005 07:06 PM

i am very impressed wiht the rx7 it took out some fast cars

5.0 mustange some truck and honda civc wiht b18

NashMan 04-18-2005 10:44 PM

but now it flow more and i don't have to worry about fan fires no more

islandsupra 04-19-2005 06:27 PM

Hey Toby, yeah sorry I haven't gotten a hold of you yet - it's been a hassle around here with exams and my roomie moving and now me trying to move this week.

But Cole said the paint just cracked everytime the trim was picked up. I know what he means because we tried priming and painting some of them peices when I was down there the first weekend. Sand a peice and prime it, then just tested to see how durable they would be and they all cracked.

We stripped them down and re-primed some peices too and still no luck. He'd be more than happy to spray them for you when they are on the car though, it would just be easier that way.

Anyways, give me a call if you want and we can sort things out if you don't hear from me. My brain is just sort of all over the place right now. But my number at home is 754 2338 and cell is 619 3919.

Enraged 04-19-2005 11:03 PM

ya, i talked to him, im picking it up tomorrow afternoon. i had the same trouble with the longer peices cracking. the small ones are fine as they dont flex much. i mounted the new taillights today, and im picking up some new foam tape tomorrow, so hopefully i can get everything together by the weekend. once the cars on the road ill take it down to him so see what he can do. how much do you think he would charge me to respray my front and rear bumpers? the rear is faded and the front is losing paint around one of the foglights...

im going to see if i can make the alternator dropdown bracket by the weekend. should be fun working with the 4" bar stock :)
