i bought my supra for $800 from this kid i found on criegslist in Philadelphia where i live. when i got the supra back to my family's shop in cherry hill i realized that the previous owner had taken a lot of vacuum lines missing and what not, also we radiator was leaking and the clutch fan was broke. But the body was in good condition no rust till this day. naturally i replaced the lines,replaced the radiator and the clutch with a electric duel fan from a Nissan i hooked up a rely and it looks perfectly never over heated again. i also replaced the alternator ,valve cover gaskets, all the exhaust gaskets and all the belts.

Now that it was running ok i started to modify things a little i added E3 sparks plugs which work great with this motor. Again the other owner did not remove the plugs under the trottlebody i was surprised i had no issues with the car running. I also replaced all four of my struts with tokico illumina III's it rides like a dream after some adjusting.

Shortly after doing most of this i was was involved in a accident i have to replaced the bumper, bother fenders,and the driver side door. ohh yeah and all the suspension on the passenger including the rack, ball joints got riped out, control arms was bents and there was hole in the bottom of the rim.

I decided to buy another supra from the yard for 600 a 87 n/a auto its was good for parts and the motor and trust me i striped it down to the bones poor supra. But i also started my custom body work since i did not have the door striping to replace i stared to bondo all the molding away for a different look.

But last week the 7m took a shit on my i was expecting this since it had a knock for a month i was putting HD-40 oil in it lol but good thing is iam almost done rebuilding my other 7mge to replace it with. iam pretty confident iam going to have a strong running non turbo cant wait to get it on a dyno.

my hard drive got wiped so i lost alot of my pics so for now you can just go to my car domain. please give me some feedback on anything.
