I am hoping to get the eccentrics all welded for the camber adjustment on the front subframe sometime after work this week. Then I can move to the new big diff. -Mike

The rear shelf and trunk area of our stock MA61 chassis doesn't accommodate an SLA wishbone setup without alot of body modifications. With how rust free and clean my original sheet metal is (which is extremely hard to come by on the MA61), I didn't want to have to tear into it. I did consider it...

Thanks man. I am a mechanical/design engineer at The Roadster Shop. (www.roadstershop.com) My daily grind is designing crazy suspension parts, full chassis and everything in-between for mostly pro-touring domestics. I myself don't have any fabrication training or real welding training. I only...

Thanks everyone! Sway bar and mount will be addressed after I redesign the differential and subframe sections. (Nothing will be stock on this car, NOTHING! ;) ) It will include a 1" hollow splined sway bar and arms, with some calculated points to hit the sway bar rates I want. I was...

Sorry everyone. Life has been crazy with lots of ups and downs. Work has been good and challenging, and I don't get home often to devote a ton of time to this car. I also had a death in the family, which realigned my priorities for a while. Sorry if the updates seem random or off base compared...

I'm not really on a "mad power trip" with this build. I will be happy to see 400 HP, I am not really looking for anything more than that. If I wanted a better flowing intake, I would have had one made from sheet metal with a forward facing throttle body. The power level I am looking for is more...

Thanks guys. More updates hopefully tonight! But for now, some powdercoat mug-shots: -Mike

A few updates for a project revival! I apologize for the poor photos through this next documentation. I was so busy working that I didn't take any time to mind my settings, and some pictures turned out kinda crappy. There have been a few fabrication projects I wanted to tackle for some time...

Ok everyone, Life has been very busy for the past six months. I have been getting settled at a new job and area since last July, and have slowly been bitten by the car bug again the past month or so. I have been making the long 3 hour journey back home consistently every couple weekends or...

Thanks, but I was able to find someone to remove the housing and ship it to me off a spare w58, and I am just going to buy the selector fork new from Toyota since it is still currently available. Thanks everyone! Mods can delete this thread. -Mike

My bi-yearly bump for this part! I am still trying to find just the shifter housing from the non-turbo 7MGE MKIII Supra w58, without having to buy the entire transmission. If anyone has just the housing, let me know. I will also entertain buying an entire tranmission at this point if you are...

Don't give up on me yet guys, I have quite a few new things to add to this build, but wait until a more prevalent time to show them. Work has been crazy busy, and I haven’t had as much time as I would like to OCD more things for the Supra. Yes, I work mostly with SolidWorks. Here is the...

NAME: Mike O'Brien Location: Donahue, IA 52746 Contact: Email me at MikeO "at" roadstershop.com Payment: I prefer to send paypal Hey guys, I need the shifter housing and internal fork for the MKIII Supra W58 to extend The W58 setup in my 1UZ Turbo MKII. I beleive that this style...

Thanks everyone! Just wanted to pop in to say that sadly there are no real updates. My new job has kept me busy designing other people's cars. :) -Mike

Sorry gents, no updates since I last mounted the transmission. I have been in the process of finalizing a new job I am taking, and therefore have been preparing to move to the northern Chicago area. This unfortunately means that I will not be wrenching on the car for most likely the better part...

Stock crank sensor is a VR, with 12 tooth crank wheels on the distributor motors , along with single teeth on each cam with an independent VR sensor for TDC relation. VVTI motors use 36-2 missing tooth crank wheels. -Mike

Cool Brandon, let me know what you have. Also, do you have any of your modded 3SGTE flywheels in stock? I'm thinking about grabbing one early next week so I can get this turd under power soon. :) -Mike

I did a search on quantum, and of course the first threads that come up are of RedPhoenix's build. Of course he praises the kit, since he is an "unconfirmed" business partner of Jakes. There was also another member of our MKII Supra community who received one from Jake and praised the quality...

I woke up extra early today to take a stab at getting the transmission mocked up into place. The 1UZ bellhousing is a bit taller than the M series W58 housings, and the car had to be lifted to the sky to carefully shimmy the transmission under the car. Within only a matter of minutes...

Thanks everyone! Finally after a long and tiring 79 day transaction, this shows up in the mail with no prior warning or notification. My opinion of this product can be seen in the seller's review section under "Quantum-Auto.com (Jake Breyck) No customer service to be found." I...
