Hey alls...
This is the start of a long project... here is what I have and what I have in mind...
I picked this beauty up from my next door neighbor. Had been sitting for nearly 8yrs which allowed me to pick it up for $500...
After a few hours with a claybar... and a cheap orbital buffer.....
To get the car running again after sitting so long... i pulled the drain plug on the fuel tank... replaced the pump... flushed th 1.5" of sediment out of the bottom of the tank. radiator was cracked so I replaced it w/ new hoses. flushed the coolant system. flushed the brakes and replaced front pads/greased calipers... changed the oil and put 5gal of 93 in the tank w/ a can of seafoam..
So far ive put around 350miles on it... no real hiccups... hot oil pressure at idle w/ 5w30 ~ 10psi... above 2500rpm is around 40-45psi... no smoke or ticks of any kind... and 120k miles on the od.
The car is a blast to drive... but I have a list started of what i want to do to it...
1st things 1st... 4x4 mode needs to go.. 1.5-2" drop... thinking eibach springs (ive had good luck w/ them on other projects..) and maybe kyb struts/shocks...
next up will be a 1jz-gte swap... and will be keeping it atx.. ( i know.. i know... but after driving my 6spd ~350whp focus daily for the last 3yrs... i figured i'm up for letting a car shift itself)
gonna also be building a full 3" stainless turbo back exhaust... gona shoot for around 350-400whp on the first go... maybe later down the road... a little more.
I am new to the supra world... so any suggestions/help, etc... would be appreciated...
Thanks alls...
