it runs! changed out the ecu, and boom. the battery wont charge though so gotta look into that. i just bought a 91 integra that im gonna use as a dd so the supie will remain fresh. gonna get historic tags for it so insurance stays low. i ordered rotors, pads, and ss lines from 935motorsports and new tires. once i get the pads in, gonna throw them on and take the car for a spin! omg im getting excited

edit: will take pics of said parts tomorrow

this might sound dumb, but did you go to school to learn all the mechanics of cars, or you just know from tinkering? thnx

j3pz · 07-04-2007, 04:20 PM

nope no training here. learned from just jumping right into it, lots of reading and searching, and these forums.

ninja edit: i also hang out with friends that work on there cars (turbo civics, turbo 5.0 fox bodies, srt4...)

this is the third time ive tried posting this, my sesion keeps timing out and logging me out, so ive had to repost three time lol, better appreciate this! any ways, new tires, fusion hri's 225/50/16. still got sticker pieces on them.

put on some new rotors, the ss lines, and painted the calipers

did a few more things to the supra, painted the wiper arms, fixed the dented corner, broken taillight, put in tag lights

thank you. it runs awesome. im about to get the power steering working on it; its a biotch trying to park. i would have done it already but ive had a lot going on between work, getting my dd on the road, getting ready for college, and just being lazy...

ill have to take some pics of the inteior, its so clean. it burgandy, at first i was planning on changing it because it just not a pretty color. but after taking all the parts out and vacuuming it out, omgz, its so freaking nice... that ugly red wears on ya... so in short i decided not to change it... yet

fulljapan · 08-15-2007, 02:53 AM

Hahaha, at first I hated the color too but now, like you said, I'm getting used to that "ugly red"
