Rob Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 20 minutes? It would take me 20 mins just to get the tools out and jack the car up and get the front tray off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 20 minutes? It would take me 20 mins just to get the tools out and jack the car up and get the front tray off. I'd say an hour is more realistic if you know what you're doing. Like you say, jacking the car up, removing the tray, and draining the rad will take a while. Swapping the rad out is very quick though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra_si Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 and it took me about an hour and a half to do it, then about another 15 to put the undertrya back on as a mate came across and chatted to me whilst i was under the car in the rain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adnanshah247 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 trying doing a clutch, if you can get the clutch in you can do everything on the car. i just changed the suspension all round on the sup, took me a few hours but i was using my mates garage with a hydraulic ramp which cut my time by atleast half! i be honest i dont personally think the supra is a very hard car to work on. in my garage theres a pic of me getting the new engine in as well.

creative Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 well all i have is a driveway and axle stands so my capacity to do alot is limited never doubt yourself! I only had a small trolley jack and 1 pair of axle stands when I did my engine swap on my old bmw. Have you ever tried lifting a gearbox into place whilst lying on the floor, whilst trying to bolt it in and not knock yourself out as your nose is touching the underside of the car all on your own!!? :d 4pot to 6pot goodness! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
