picked up this 89 Supra with a 7MGTE Swap. The idea is to build a fun and reliable daily that will also double as a weekend track car. Something that I can run at the track both in straight lines as well as SCCA

Plans are to just mildly mod her and keep her as a daily driver. This is my other car (2001 Lexus GS300) built as a show car.

Thanks for looking and I hope to learn more from the people on this forum.

Had some misfiring going on and took apart the head to investigate.

Looks good with the new drop.
Got the same wheels on my 88, though in gunmetal/ hyperblack.
What part of Georgia? I'm in Lawrenceville.

ps- never seen someone attempt to use the rain guards with the targa roof.
