Four years of progress on my 89 turbo

[thevork]

Well, I've owned the supra since 2004 and I'm trying to make it a little better every year. It was completely stock when I bought it.
In these four years the car has gone through a complete engine rebuild, an interiour refresh, has gotten new shoos and a new exhaust.
This year it was time for her to say goodbye to all the rust and dents (there were lots of them ) and get the looks I think she should have.

I'm not a fan of extra plastic so the body is complete stock, I'm a poor guy (hence the MKIII lol) so I have a tiny modlist; Everything's ready for a bigger turbo and my ct26-57 trim is sent off to be rebuilt before I will install it.

Engine mods include:

Fresh rebuilt 7M
Arp bolts
Titan MHG
HKS EVC Boost controller
Custom open intake
JBLMK3 turbo elbow
Custom 2.5" freeflow downpipe
Custom 2.5" Exhaust
Ported stock exhaust manifold
Ebay 2.5 to 4" muffler
Aeromotive AFPR
NipponDenso 550cc injectors
Lexus AFM
HKS SSQ bov
Zeitronix wideband controller & EGT Sensor
Apexi SAFC II Fuel computer (Black edition)
Oil temp sensor
Ebay front strut bar

Interior
SLM Boost meter
SLM Oil temp meter
Custom gauge cluster
Supra NA volt meter
Sogi short shifter
TRD shift knob

Ice
Alpine mp3 radio

I also installed a 3.9 LDS (Off of an NA supra) on the car.

This is how the car looks now ('after'):

(For now I have the rear number plate ducttaped to the car as I converted her ass from EURO to USA tail lights however it will take a few weeks for my new smaller plates to arrive.

great looking car in my opinion, only thing i would change is the 2.5" exhaust to at least 3" turbo back.
good luck

Welcome to the forums. Your car looks nice inside and out. The U.S tails looks so much better than the Euros. :thumbup:

I have to agree with this, what kind were your original wheels and how wide?

Hi
I'm new to the site and I just want to say your car is beautiful; you haven't over done to exterior it's still simple and clean. And i'm assuming your girl is also beautiful.

The brand of the old wheels is ATS.
I still have them for eventual track or burning use

The tire size that was on it was 16x205x45, all around the car.

My current wheels are 17" and have 245x40 in the rear and 205x40 in the front.
