Default My plans for the weekend...Wish me luck!

Starting tomorrow evening I will be installing the following

Supra TT shocks/springs
Full ignition tune up plugs, wires, cap/rotor, coils

And I will be replacing the valve cover gaskets.
While I'm in there, I'll clean the throttle body.

If time is left, I'll start on the BFI but I highly doubt I will have time.
Only left undecided is to Seafoam or to not seafoam. THe car runs great so I may not do that.

Wish me luck haha

Good luck, it's always good to have a busy weekend working on your own car, sucks paying somebody else to do it.

Your efforts will be rewarded. Just remember to put a protective coating such as a good wax to keep them from turning back to yellow so fast.

If at all possible, I would recommend breaking the job up a bit if possible and making sure everything is ok before you proceed onto the next part. It's great to do a bunch of work all at once to your car, but it sucks when you go to start it up if you discover problems. The number of variables you've introduced makes troubleshooting that much harder.

That's what I plan to do. I just finished the shocks/springs...effin nightmare but it's done! As far as the rest. It really is just one big process so I'm not sure how I would really break it up.Valve cover gaskets will def. be last though. I wil install all ignition stuff and then move to the gaskets.

about halfway through! Got the Supra suspension on last night. I just finished putting the caps and rotors on. Spark plugs are out. I'll do the valve cover gaskets tomorrow and will put the wires and plugs in then too. Tonight, I'm going to clean all the removed parts up and I'll probably make the first half of the BFI.
