Thanks guys, I actually got to take the Supra out a couple of times over the weekend for really the first time this season. Everything is running great, I put new R888 tires in the rear and those things are awesome, I pretty much dead hook in even in 1st as long as the tires have a little heat in them, haven't tried really launching the car hard from a stop yet though.

Glad I got the car to this point as it will probably be awhile before I have the time/money to do more with it. When she gets a little older I'll have to see if I can get a car seat in the back for her so I can bring her to car meets, etc. next year.  

Also congrats to you too paintthrower00.

So at the end of the driving season last year I noticed my engine temp wasn't coming up like it should so I suspected a stuck open thermostat. Just parked the car in the garage all winter and figured I'd fix in in the spring. Anyway I got busy and didn't get to it until a few weeks ago, figured it would be a quick job. Well it was impossible to get the t-stat housing off with the manifold installed so I decided to pull the whole water pump.

Here is the issue with the thermostat:

Decided to get a PHR t-stat rotator to help with the issue:



While I had it pulled apart this far I got a nice bonus at work and decided to get a few things for the Supra.  

Planning on the following:

Tomei 264 Cams
Billet Tensioner Bracket
BC Springs w/ titanium retainers
New valve steam seals (mine are still the originals)
Flex fuel sensor
FIC1100cc injectors.

I'll be updating this thread as I get/install these parts.
