Sorry I won;t be driving the supra for another 2 weeks. I'm priming the whole car this weekend and I'll be painting it the weekend after. I'm just really trying to get it ready for Hot import nights on orlando. I'll post some pics soon of all the body work on the car and the custom body kit!!


Sounds good..

ahhhhhh........... i knew there were more supra in town than just me and matt. Don't worry about the looks of the car man, Matt will tell you that my car is not the prettiest of sites but it runs well which is what matters to me (for now) Yeah suspension work sucks, Matt and I have dismantled my shocks so many times, and i am still in the process of replacing the two rear ones. It will take me a while before i can start working on it again because i have a messed up ankle right now. But i would love to help out with the swap as well, i think i have another 2-3 weeks on these crutches. If you need parts though.....I can hook it up. Hopefully i can walk soon, and we will all meet up at BJ's. Good luck

87na if you haven't purchased suspension parts yet, do some research. Black87 and I have similar setups different manufacturers though.. There is some good info on diff combo of springs and shocks. Let us know if you need help.. Don't worry about looks to much right now.. Unless you like the show and no go... Mine is stock and Black 87 is as well other than the fresh set of MK4 wheels he bought..

the meets are tuesday and saturday nights at the BJ's on Atlantic. Everyone usually gets there at about 9 or so. Matt and I usually hang out with the MR2 guys, they are pretty cool. Yeah my car definately was not at stage 6, but its nice to know that there are more mk3's in town than just three. How long have you had the supra??

448-1181 is the number to the employment office........ Currently it's me and 3 other guys that sell accessories, the official name for the departent is Delivery Coordinator/Aftermarket sales. The only thing that sucks about this job is the hours. I work all day Saturday and Sunday. Does not really leave me much time for the supra between work and college.....
