My name is Franco I have been on here since august 07 shortly before I got my supra but have not really posted. So I figured its about time I introduced my self.
I'm a 18 year old student attending NAIT college in Edmonton Alberta.
Love the supra even if they are expensive to keep on the road.
It is a white/maroon 87 7m-GTE hardtop.
When I got the car it was not in the greatest condition. It had sat for two years and a squirrel or mouse had used the engine as it's home. It chewed through a few wires including an injector wire.
I had it repainted BMW Alpine White but my uncle (not the greatest paint job but i cant complain for $400) got a tune up and oil change on the car and had a new Magnaflow muffler and resonator to replace one of the cats as it was rusted out and some had fallen off. The headlight switch was busted so I got a new one.. it was meant for an 89 so I another new one.
A few months in the timing belt went on me no big deal I expect it has never been replaced. A few weeks later I replaced it again when the guild on the crank gear (I think that is what it is) tore off and chewed the new belt to pieces.
I blew a coolant line a wile back but is running well for having over 200,000km's. Except I ran in to a curb a few weeks ago bent the spindle $1k later that was fixed and now the power steering line that just blew thanks to the -40c weather we have been having in Edmonton.
I have also put in H4 halogen headlights witch I think make a big improvement in visibility. And all new brake pads and rotors as the squeaking was getting annoying.
Its not perfect there is a little rust showing through the paint and I add a little oil, coolant and clutch fluid every few weeks. But its still fun!
..And that is how you do an intro..
