why i havent been posting so frequently...

to start, i will continue to be an active member of this community and still love computers and unix based operating systems.

ive been busy recently with a pretty big project, not involving unix Smilie

one of my other hobbies is automobiles. i have a 1986.5 toyota supra, now if anyone here has knowledge of mkiii's (the generation designation for the toyota supra model from 1986.5 to 1992) they would know that the 1986.5 did NOT come with the 7mgte engine. (that is an inline 6, three liter turbo charged engine.) instead it came with the 7mge (non turbo). turbo charging is where its at. the level of materials we have today (since the 80s) are advanced enough to warrant the use of turbo chargers. they have been proven effective methods of creating more power time and time again, for many years now.

a few months ago i bought a used 7mgte engine to transfer into my car.

if it were only that simple, not only does the engine have to be replaced, but many of the electronics that control the engine as well.

well long story short, after bringing the head from the engine in to get a valve job, i have it back and am just finishing putting the motor back together. ihave began the process of transplanting the engine.

leaving me with no car and no transportation to work !! (my bike has a flat tire Smilie )

anyway, i have been taking pictures of much of the process that i will be putting up on my server for people from the forums dealing with mkiiis to see.

if anyone here is interested, id be happy to provide a link to the pictures, when they go up when i am finished with the swap.

wish me luck!

I can second that!

My little girl is 17 months old tomorrow.

She's walking, running, and is starting to string sentences together.

She can even say "google", "awk", and "grep" Smilie

Cheers

Thanks for the pics.

Must admit, open engine bay's and engine's sitting on the ground don't do it for me Smilie

But I will be looking forward to seeing the whole box-and-dice when it's all done. Smilie

Best of luck with your project.
