I bought my Supra about 5 years ago and it's been in my garage patiently waiting for funds and free time. I'm a 34 yr. old father of 3 and time and money don't come easy these days. The only mod I've done so far is install a Fluidyne radiator. Everything else as far as I can tell is completely stock.

I'm gearing up for a MHG install this spring and plan on replacing every hose and gasket I can at that time. Hopefully I can afford to upgrade the exhaust as well.

I've read a ton of posts on this forum and would like to thank those of you who share your knowledge about these special cars. I hope one day I can pay it forward.

Here are a few pics.

Thanks for the welcome!

Not too close, but watch for a Centralia meet in the spring, after that there's a meet that attracts more people in the summer. I'm not sure where it will be this year, but most likely Portland.

Thanks, it's a 90 as well. Lots of years putting it together and sadly it sits with no motor right now until other priorities are taken care of.

Gotta love priorities. What are your plans for the car?

Smaller setup, more efficient. At one point I had a gt4088 turbo with 720cc injectors and a stiff clutch (RPS Max), never got to use the power. I've been shelving parts as I come across them to put it back together with a Greddy 20g turbo, 550cc injectors, and a more streetable feramic clutch.

Other then that, I kept most of the electronics that I had since they were simple and user friendly: HKS VPC, Apexi SAFC2, PLX wideband, etc.
