Looks good.
Are you going to post up the install step by step with pics.
I keep forgeting to when ever I install a engine(6 within two years) in a MK2
To busy to pick up a camera.

I will try..sometimes you just get going and forget to stop.

I have to do a fair amount of documenting tho because it is serving as my Senior Culminating Project which is a graduation requirement for washington seniors in public schools.

I am writing up my thread right now and I have barely made it through the intro and motor rebuild and it is already way long.

But I will post it up soon. (atleast the main rebuild part)

The motor should go thursday, do the intercooler piping and put on accessories friday/finish up saturday. And hopefully a startup sometime this weekend. Just to make sure I got that far right. Then sunday will wire in my safc, and hopefully Innovative wideband (if it gets here in time).

that's hawt.

[84ptype]

that's hawt.

even better in full size pictures (which will come)...and when the brightness on your monitor is all the way up (more like what it looks like, cause my camera takes dark pics, not to mention shit lighting in the garage)

I bet it was damn fun painting the lines on the timing covers

Damn copycats

[84ptype]

I had done a set in silver painted with red raised about 5 years ago...well before I knew about this site or had even seen another supra.
The key to it is just to do it on a spare set so you can paint the raised...let dry for couple days and mask them off. Then do the rest.
That set will most likely be redone as they have been chipped to crap from moving parts around in the shed, stacking parts, etc.

I like the color matching engines


The 6mge


camera flash light (84 5mge)


Same light no flash

[84ptype]

the last two motors I have done were opposites...
Blue car with red/silver motor
Red car with blue/silver motor

But now it is set right and matches Red/ Satin black

[84ptype]

And so it begins....
