My name is Rick and this is my first Supra and I'm sure not may last. I have always wanted a Supra. Through high school I had a 1969 GTO so I have been into fast cars.
I traded some work on a 1948 Ford tractor for my 1988 Supra N/A. The motor was blown so I opted for a JDM I found on E-Bay for about $700 and a few other parts so I'm think I have about $1000 in the car. The paint is good but is does have a body kit that could use some work.
I use to be a full time GM mechanic for about 4 years and found I didn’t want to do something I love to do as a full time job. Now I work at a theme park and do side jobs on cars for fun and love it. I went to WyoTech back in the day so I know about cars and try to keep up as much as I can. I haven’t been working on computer controlled cars for some time now but getting back into it has been fun.
My plans for the car are to just have fun with it and do some thing here and there when I have the time and money. Some parts I have added are Super Monitor, after market CD player and up graded the speakers. Later on if I get board I might add a turbo but with low boost to start.
It’s nice to meet you all and I hope we will all learn from each other.
