Hi to everyone in the Supra family,
Not for sure when the best time is to start a build thread not knowing how long its going to take. :icon_bigg
But why not start now! Heres my story...
I found this 1992 black MKiii targa 5 speed turbo for sale with dark shadow gray leather interior. I was wanting a project car to start on but wasn't for sure what to go with. In the past I had drove Mustangs, Camaros, TransAm's and one 87 Turbo Supra. All I could think about was how that old Supra put a big smile on my face the first time I took it out for a test drive. All I remember was how it pulled really hard when the boost gauge started to climb and I was so amazed! I had never rode in a turbo car before and it just made me laugh because it was so fun! So I made up my mind to buy this 92 Supra but it wasn't easy. This Supra was for sale on e-bay in Baltimore Maryland and I lived in Kansas. I had to bid on this car to the very end and won! Then I told the wife I needed a one way ticket to Baltimore Maryland. She said "your crazy if your going to buy a one way ticket and take 2 planes all the way to Baltimore Maryland and drive back home!!!" I said yea... maybe.
GOALS: Daily driver 600hp at the wheels with E-85. You guys can be the judge of that after reading the parts list and hopefully guide me in the right direction. I could use any good advice you all are willing to share to help me reach that goal. Thx.
I have plenty of pics to show but will take a bit to find and organize them. Ill put down a list of parts that I have and if I missed some then I'll go back and edit/add the parts to the list. I already have pics in my profile if you need to see them right away but Ill get started.
