I've had a na 89 hardtop supra for around 2 years now and it's been, for the most part, reliable. It's also been boring. For the last year I'd been trying to decide what to do with the car, then back in november I found a jdm 7mgte and r154 combo for 899. Came with everything from the coil packs to the intercooler and piping to air box. So I grabbed it and started hunting down rebuild parts. After tearing down the engine we found that... it was in pretty damn good shape! Virtually no wear on the piston chambers, and the crank, rods, and mains were all in spec. Gone through tear down, cleaned off buttload-o-carbon, had the head + block machined, valve job, mhgarp, modest rebuild, and right now the engine is in the process of being reassembled. The only extra mods are k&n fipk, divorced recirculated dp, and 3in turbo back exhaust (high flow bolt-on cat, 18" vibrant resonator, HKS hi-power muffler. I don't think I've seen this combo yet and I'll be sure to post clips when it's finished). Right now I'm tracking down a late-89 wiring harness, because jdm is too short :3d_frown: and I'm not crazy enough to splice it all.
So I guess that's my story. I'll probably be posting here with dumb questions and the like, so I figured I'd introduce myself first. What's up supramania!
