This made me smile. Also, glad for the person who posted where they got their AC delete plate. Extremely helpful!

Great build.

Any updates on progress?

I'm about to start my clean out of the 1jz.

yo thanks for the resurrection

that's some sludge you have there! just like mine did. so much for that lifetime oilfill

I was planning to update the thread in august when my holiday is coming up, and I have time to, once again, work on the soarer. Unfortunatly I lost my smartphone last year where all my built pictures were stored on.
Then this thing came along which needed some tlc and ate up my spare time:


1995 Supra RZ (Twin Turbo, 6 speed)

then I sold it and got that last month:


luckily that one needs no overhaulin. just did gearbox oil and solenoid clean, rear brakes, y-pipe and injectors and an ecutek tune to 635HP and 612.3 ft·lb.

now just a detail and then it's back to the soarer

some pics I had left on the notebook...

professional welding on my new fuel system:


old and new fuel filter:



turbo (since been replaced with SXE362), manifold, downpipe, wastegate



exhaust which I have to modify again because the two cats are too low to the ground for german law


turbosmart blow off

FunCarGo

removed the rear crossmember because I just couldn't stand to look at that rust anymore. of course removing the rust on this thing is opening a can of worms.





seized bolts , worn bushes... now I will replace everything with polyurethane bushes while I'm at it.
will try to sandblast the rust off, need to get some dry sand first though.

using different techniques to get all the bushes out

cool build, interesting techniques on removing some of that stuff!

I'll let the pictures do the talking..












BONUS: RUSTY BOLTS IN VINEGAR

Awesome work with the rear subframe man! Brings back memories when we took mine out and had pretty much everything blasted/ chemically stripped and powdercoated. Lots of work!

Tell me you're gonna do the same treatment on the rusty diff housing! I know it's just cosmetic surface rust but might as well paint it while it's out of the car.

That is some beautiful work! A lot of time to restore that rear subframe and replace all the bushings with polyurethane. And did I miss something here or... did you actually find a way to replace your LCA's ball joints?

FunCarGo

thanks haha I thought about the diff housing but then decided against it as it was not half as bad as the rest (it's an A01B I bought second hand)
I have to stay reasonable and not overdo stuff as there is more pressing work to be done to the car and my spare time is limited

its just so much fun to restore all that old hardware and to see it all come back together, looking pretty
noo I just replaced the old rubber boots with new ones, the ball joints were all fine. I think by applying new grease and protecting the joints with new boots they will last quite a bit longer.

Ah, okay. I figured that was not actually the case. I do recall a thread showing some part numbers for new ball joint boots that are replaceable on later control arms. I'm sure they will last longer after this. Overall, great job, FunCarGo!
