...and now for something completely different.

Hey guys,
I'm completely new to the Supra scene... actually, to be honest, I'm not even part of the Supra scene. I've got a Volvo 240 wagon with a 1jzgte up front and a 4-speed auto from a Chaser! I bought the Volvo with the 1j a few weeks ago knowing it needed a bit of fixing up.

I mainly joined these forums for those "hard-to-get" parts and to hear from the guys that know these engines inside and out.

I live in Sydney, Australia and work 25 hours a week and go to college full time. I don't party, don't drink, don't smoke...basically leaving me more money than the average 24 year old to spend on cars!

Anyway, here's some pics:

Nice car and very unique. Welcome!.

Welcome and nice car.
It's been my experience that Australia has more hard to find parts than we do here.
Good Luck

Here we see an example of how a kick-ass motor is not seen.
A 1jzgte has been stuffed into a normal looking 240 wagon,a sleeper

Thanks for all your comments.
I think it fits rather well, it's still not completely legal, though. I don't know about over there but I have to get an Engineer's Certificate here so I can register it. $700 for a piece of paper! I've had 2 engineers look at it so far and the first one turned it down, the second one said there were only a few things that needed to be changed. I need to find an enclosed airbox assembly which fits and a couple of heatshields between the rear turbo and brake/steering components. Also, the neutral safety switch ain't working, causing the reverse lights to not work.

Welcome to the forums. That car has got to catch folks off guard. Kudos. And best of luck getting it registered.
