Hey all. Fellow Supra lover here for many years. Loved the mark 4 since like 1995 and since then became obsessed. Well, finally, I have a Supra. I rescued it from a rotting death from some older guy. It sitting in his yard for over a year across my friends house and everytime I saw it within that year I cried just seeing it sit there. So one day he finally put it up for sale. I talked to the guy and he said he blew the head gasket (of course) and wanted to fix it but never got the money to so he finally put it up for sale. My dad bought it for me cuz at the time I didn't have the monies. So a few months later I finally payed my dad for the car and got someone to do the motor work for me. 3 weeks later the idiot guy I gave it to finally took the head off, I saw the motor and said fook that. So instead I got a motor for $400 + $50 shipping and the 4th week he put it in so thats what sits in my baby today. I don't regret one penny I put into my car, it is my love & obsession. I plan on keeping it till its 100% completely unrepairable. I plan on either rebuilding the 7M-GE or most likely putting a better motor in, most def turbo thou.
Here's a list of stuff I put into it:
The car itself = $600
Motor = $400 + $50 ship
Altenator = $90 + $20 labor (brother)
Lower driver ball joint = $20 + $20 labor (friend at dads work)
Tune up (valve cover gaskets, wires, plugs, cap & rotor) = $50 + $50 labor (bro)
Rim & engine paint = $20
Faze temp gauge = Free from friend
Red underglow = Free from friend
All Strobes = Free from friend
Clutch (the killer of my wallet) = $120 clutch + $300 labor (real shop) *ouch*
Starter = I honestly forget. Labor $30 (bro)
Dual 10" Kicker Comp subs = $300 total
Thats most of it besides lil stuff like oil changes and random stuff.
Anyways here 15 pics with a short history of what I did to the car.
When I first saw her:
Mmmm antifreeze anyone? Somehow it ran...
The icky nasty motor...gah...make it go away.
What was left of the gasket.
The old motor *barf*
Her "new" heart with "75,000 miles", yea sure.
The motor when I got her home the night after she was done.
Muffler and wing, go ahead make fun of me. =)
Clear headlights and Nokya blue h4s and yellow h3s.
Most recent pics:
Turn signal mod. Dual filiment bulbs on the inner. Mod cost? $7. So nice.
Oh and by the way, the original hood logo flew off at 120mph =(
If anyone has one let me know! Till then, wolfie sticker. yay.
Gotta love my custom tails. Don't worry I have stock spairs.
The motor today all clean and painted. Yay for K&N.
So ya thats a breif history of my #1 prized possession.
And heres a video I took last night with my friend showing off the strobes, neon underglow, turn signal mod, muffler and some random spinning.
