Got some questions for you guys, arp headstuds, should I order for supra? Or do they have to be gs300 2jz studs? Second, will a cometic hg for a 2jzgte fit fine? Third, I want to get a big radiator, but don't know which to get, fourth, will the 2jz gte waterpump fit my 2jzge? As I want to upgrade my cooling system, fifth, i'm.buying a t57 single turbo, what type/size/brand intercooler should I pick? I want to get these within this week but don't know where to start

Headgaskets are the same
I have a CX racing radiator and love it.
GTE pump will not fit 100% positive
I purchased a CX racing universal FMIC kit and made pipes fit. Pretty easy. It's like a puzzle.

Well after 2 years of not driving a stick car I ventured in a little chevy 5sp pickup truck to get my tranny, I would have taken pics but my phone died like 3 times on the way there, but after stalling like 3 times in the middle of the highway, I made it, loaded up all the stuff and made it back home, and here's what I got
T57 xs power turbo
JDM foglights
The stock auto tranny
And a torque converter
I only have a picture of the turbo as of now, so here it is:
Hopefully some time this week I can get to istalling my transmission and get the baby running again!

Well guys I guess I should do some catching up, for the few that are still kinda interested, on wednesday I spent some money on a decent ratchet set and a decent jack, put the front on stands and started my journey, I drained the tranny fluid, and proceeded to disconnect the shaft, easier than I thought it would, but then came the pain in the rear, I managed to get the 4 bottom bellhousing bolts off, but the rest I couldn't reach for ish! Then I put it all back together and unscrewed the fluid pan, and this came out:
so I filled up the trans fluid thinkin it would buu me time but the trans won't go in gear, so long story short I said f*** it and went to my boy's transmission shop, said he'd put the tranny in for 200 bucks "because I'm spanish" so monday i'll be taking it there, and it's temporary until I get my w58 and source all the parts for the swap, I should be getting the 5sp trans by thursday, this is kind of exciting hahaha

So since I have the baby on stands
I decided to do something besides sleeping all day long and change the brakes and the sway bar links i've had sitting in my room for almost a year now, and I can't stress enough how a beer or two just make everything flow so smoothly, here's a pic of the left side rotor pads and old link
The only thing that doesnt make sense out of this picture is that the rotor and those pads have been on there for about 2 years now and they're barely worn, even after all the 120 mph to 40 mph braking everytime I was late for school.... Anyways here's the stuff that got put in place of the old stuff....
yes I knowm cheap brakes, but it's in the meantime that I get some money together for the big brakes, I plan on upgrading the brake cylinder and deleting the abs.
