My familys very car oriented. Ive been on here since I was like 12. Before that I was on HPOA (Honda Prelude Owners Assoc.) forums for a while. But the main answer is FORUMS. Everything you need is online. If you have a question, just search and its already been covered. Just a great tool. Thanks for the compliments.

My dads income tax. My dads pay for all the stuff, and I am VERY grateful for everything he does for me. The back wheels are just there for the paint job work, I only have 2 of those so I put them on the back. The front are from the 01 TL cause I had the OEM TL wheels on my front, but my dad wanted to switch back out.

You are correct, the 1JZ came in 89-92 Supras in Japan. Also Chasers and Soarers if im corect. If my car wasnt a N/A 7M. Id stick with the 7MGTE, its not a bad motor, just a little un realiable. Also someone on Supraforums has over 310,00 miles on their 1JZ and it dynoed a little over 320 with just some bolt on's. This motor I believe is a champ.

Very nice, my hearty congratulations to you for having the talent and patience for saving that MkIII from the scrap heap and doing such a nice job on it. 1JZ is an awesome motor, I'm glad to be seeing more of them in the U.S. recently ...at least I hadn't noticed them here a few years ago.

Sounds like a good kid. He appreciates his father, and puts in some man hours fixing his own car. I wish half the spoiled rejects around my way were like this kid.

Thanks for all the comments guys.

i'm not saying your paint will come out bad, just what i have seen.
but i give you props for doing your own work on your car. i've learned alot from my father and know how to build a stroked 350 small block, but i also have a large knowledge on the newer technology from him and we are a very car oriented family, i appreciate all of it. keep up the work you'll learn alot more over time.

Im ganna quit on the car till maybe summer. Trying to save up some cash, if we spend all of our money on the car now, its just going to sit there. lol
