New Project

Thanks, I will post a build thread and as for the A/C issue, the heat index here is running 115 degrees during the day and low to mid 90s at night.
I want to be comfortable driving it, so some sacrifices will have be made...

lol fair enough.
im on the west coast of Canada so i dont get extreme heat, and removed the a/c out of all my supras.

I also wanted to ask how hard and expensive the OEM manuals are to find, I Googled them last night and was surprised at the lack of info... Any suggestions are appreciated.
I haven"t had a chance to call my yoda guy for the last few days because the hobby that pays my bills has been a very demanding mistress for 12 hours a day, BIG project there.
I envy your climate, life on the GoM it is like being in a sauna, if you're in the shade!
It is like breathing through a wet wash cloth without climate control. I love the scantily clad young ladies the heat here generates but it is no fun unless you're on the oily beaches or in a swimming pool.

a haynes manual should not be hard to find, it covers 79 through 1992

and i have seen a few others just for the mk2 but there much harder to find.
a yoda dealer might be a start.
although its understandable if they wouldnt have one because the cars are old.

Haynes and Chilton don't get into enough detail on electrical circuits for me and the OEM wiring schematics are hard to beat. I am looking for the 2 manuals Toyota published for the MK3, one is body and engine and the other is electrical and climate control if I remember correctly.
If I run across them I'll let you know.

*EDIT*
Found them at the Toyota owners site!

Thanks...

UPDATE: new hood struts, new antenna mast, new HID fog light bulbs, cleaned the contacts in the window master, resealed the top of the engine, R&R'd plugs with NGK iridiums, R&R'd plug wires w/ NGKs, tinted the windows, cut the old paint and waxed... now I can really tell it needs a paint job!

Parts on order: Denso A/C compressor, TRD grill emblem, hatch gasket & struts, OEM spoiler, blower motor resistor and a "kamikaze" graphic for the windshield.

Here's a freshly waxed pic...

*update* Added the rear spoiler, which was luckily the matching color. I was changing the fog lamp bulbs and dropped and broke a damned lens, installed a new Denso A/C compressor & dryer, replaced the "Toyota" grill emblem with a "TRD" emblem, replaced the water pump & rad cap.
I just had "7MGE" put on a "Barber's Motor Sports" specialty tag like this one.
When I changed the old fuel filter it got 750 more rpm's on the big end! I have a cam phone pic of 120 (129mph corrected) if I can figure out how to post it...

small steps, mostly in the right direction...
