Hey everyone, just an A70 owner from Brisbane, QLD, Australia looking to say hi. :icon_bigg
I have been a reader of these forums for a little while, but I got around to registering and actually purchasing a supra a short time ago!
These forums have been a huge help already so I thought I would introduce myself and my car.
She is a 10/88 Aus delivered MA70 (er... MA71) with 5spd & 7M-GTE. Car was in really good condition and I have pretty much all the factory items which have been removed (inc. stereo!)
Had aftermarket wheels and a few light performance mods:
Apexi Shocks
K&N Airfilter
Trust Intercooler
Turbosmart Boost Controller
3" Stainless Exhaust
The car will be an on-going project, fixing things as they break or as I feel the need. No plans to increase performance at this point - I am on a tight budget (full-time uni student), and it is already easily the fastest car I have owned.
I'll post some updates in the build thread as things progress.
Anyway, that is enough blabbing - we all want pictures!
------------------------------------------------------------------
For my own benifit, have added a list of long and short term project goals (I will edit this as I feel the need)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Short Term:
Paint Mouldings
Rear Carpets
Fix Minor Paint defects
Adjust coilover settings to something much less horrid.
Sound Deadening
Audio Install
Alarm Install + GPS Tracking
Polish 3000 pipe, intake manifold, and cam covers.
Intercooler Blockoff plate
Long Term:
Machine Solid Engine Mounts
Big Brake Upgrade (wilwood front, mk4 rear?)
~400 rwhp engine rebuild / modifications
Body mods - Kaminari Skirts + bomex rear pods
Custom rear diffuser
