Part of it was the repairs were killing me financially at the time. I found out after I sold it that there were several aftermarket things that could have been done to fix the reliability issues I was having and really improve the overall performance of the car....I just try to right that off to youthful ignorance. One day I shall have another one....just need to finish school first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSchool007 Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 Latest actual update on the car.... Part of the suspension isues turned out to be that a number of the bushings are totally shot, so a complete bushing replacement kit has been ordered and should be here tomorrow. The brake lines are orginal, and are being upgraded to SS brake lines and hopefully that should take care of the brake feel issue. The goal is to have the car back on the road by Friday...we will see how that goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrIaN EG2 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 26 is over rated and doesnt fit in anything.. 25 is better IMO sr20 -> overdone and overrated soo.. what isnt overrated or overdone? pretty sure if you do ANYTHING in the modifying world it will already have been done numerous times.. SR's and RB26's but hell so are LS1's now.. and im assuming a J swap in a honda is overdone and overrated now and not worth the money.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrIaN EG2 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 no im just stating that anything and everything is overdone now a days.. if you want to be origional.. good fuccking luck lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trae%eh6 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 well no crap there is no way in hell to do something that someone, somewere has not done. you will never be the first to do sh!t in the tuner world lol hate to say it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure some people will like it and others will have issues with it. Personally I like things that look stocck, but a little tweaked for functionality. That's what I loved abou my Prelude, most people thought it was just a really clean 3rd Gen Prelude until they really started looking at the car, but still wouldn't get a true feel for what was going on unless I allowed them to pop up the hood. I usually approach a project from the standpoint of, "what would the engineers have done to improve the platform?". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to thread: good way of looking at it.. just found out my supra was one of <1200 made that year so i feel bad about motor swapping.. still doing it though let me know how the SS brake lines feel.. still havent had time to put them on mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so did you order trailing arm bushings separate? As they are not included in the kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As they are not included in the kit. It's the Energy kit, and yeah the trailing arm busings were ordered seperately. Everything should be here today, but the question is, "what time today?".

OldSchool007 Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 good way of looking at it.. just found out my supra was one of <1200 made that year so i feel bad about motor swapping.. still doing it though let me know how the SS brake lines feel.. still havent had time to put them on mine I can understand how you would feel a little conflicted on doing a motor swap versus a restoration on that one. That is one of the main reasons why I am prettty much keeping my 8 stock. They made 10,000 of the 40th Anniversary editions worldwide, but it is such a unique exterior/interior color combo, and the stock rims were specific to that model, that I can't see messing with it.

mpearce1974 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 are those good?
