Yeah, a bunch of fox body people hate it but everyone on SupraForums loves it. The thing is amazing.
I'm down to help too! Ask Blake, I'm the best person to have around during a big build like that. I keep morale up like no other.

Anyone got pics or more info on Dean's car? Glad he wasnt hurt, and sounds like the car wasn't TOO bad off...
Anyone know where I can find this Bandit guy at? He owes me $562 for some stickers and a PVC bender for custom roll cage installations!

I have the Hawk HP Plus pads on my car now, and they are the best. However they chirp everywhere in town, and don't stop great unless you are really moving fast. If I were to do it again, I would have gone with the next step down pads (Hawk HPS).
That sucks about your water heater. Hopefully that was they only thing that went bad and it didn't ruin anything else in your basement.
Those engines are retarded. Throw a **** load of boost at them on pump gas, and they just smile for more
Be really original if your going to do it though. Put it in an F-body. I have never heard of anyone doing that, and it would be a real killer.
thats what I feel like after mowing the lawn......just thought I would share that with everyone. 
My wife can't stand doing it either. Personally, I enjoy doing it (before you ask, the answer is "no" I won't drive over to mow yours for you.

Well, theres another toy I want (besides the Supra). Its a plane. This is an ultralight that I could take off and land out of my back yard, and it only drinks 2 gallons of 87 octane an hour! Now I am trying to figure out which I should save up for first, the Supra? Or the plane? With not flying since I got my private pilots license in February, I am leaning towards the plane.
Here's a pic of it;

No one has ever put a 2jz into a 98-02 camaro (i've looked high and low and the only 2jz into any camaro i can find is in a 67 rs camaro), so that is by far the number 1 choice on my list right now... Shell, complete 2jz swap w/ 6 speed getrag, 9'' rear, fmic, boost controller, suspension, and AEM EMS (just the big things off top of my head) should empty out the bank account enough for now 
So blake and azar, consider yourselves on stand by
Oh, and thanks a ton Kyle
i don't understand why he couldn't have the loan deposited to his checking account 
oh well lol

That'd be awesome. I'm guessin it'll be a year or so before i'd have money to do much with the motor or turbo though... What do you think is the best tuning software/ ecu

You'll have a lot of choices when it comes to that. My opinion would be to have a pro tune it unless you are very familiar with tuning them. It also will depend on how tame/extreme you want it to be. My goal was to have about 850 RWHP all on pump gas (with meth injection).

Like I said there are a lot of choices for different management systems out there. I like several and am not swayed one way specifically. Turbo's on the other hand, or the setup of the 2JZ there is a plethera of different ways you can go depending on what you want. Thats when the choices become difficult. Sound Performance in Chicago just created a twin turbo setup last fall that is amazing (big boost and power with virtually no lag). Its a bit setup, but what I would like.

don't get me wrong, the 2jz is an amazing motor, but its so overplayed in the import world as being the motor of all motors. i'd go w/ one of the skyline motor for a few reasons.
1) i've never seen a 2jz-gte w/ the 6speed for under 6K from a reputable source
2) the sr20 motors, which are considered nissan of japan's entry level motor have hit 600 horse+ on the stock block and its a 4 cylinder
3) novelty factor which could be said for the 2jz as well, but someone already has one in a fox body, they put them in s2000's, they put that little monster into just about everything so its only a matter of time before it hits the f-bodies too
4) the rb26 is just at potent if not more so than the 2jz and also has a little brother the rb25 that could be picked up cheaper

Actually I don't have a problem doing it.....I was mowing the neighbor's yard...I did it on an empty stomach which wasn't a good combo with the heat. It made me ill.
