Hi my name is Corwin and I bought a supra a few months back, and have been looking through this forum for a while longer then that.
I picked up a 1986.5 hardtop N/A converted to Turbo with a r154. I got it for about 2000 bucks and it ran fine the guy said it has a metal head gasket (i'll look into that soon), Score! ... Too bad his son riced it out a bit see pictures below.
Need to repaint or replace all those white pieces
Had to take out the cig lighter and ashtray due to blinding white brilliance...
Whats that behind a flat brushed aluminum gauge bezel? More white
Not too bad the rest of the interior is pretty clean, except where they cracked and removed plastic to install a rear strut bar.
On the out side the car is faily clean no major dents, just paint chips around the doors and hood.
Sexy two tone
Full shot
I said shoot across her nose not up it!
For the pre 89 bumper thread
Driver side
Getting dirty and my friends place
Not the cleanest car ever, but i have access to a paint booth as well as powder coating oven. Not sure if i wanna get rid of the two tone even though its really hard to pain match the little dings.
Now for the engine, it definatly looks like the previous owners kid grabbed a few things off ebay, nothing lines up quite right, but it does all seem to work so far.
Can't really go wrong i got all the original parts with the car too
Hks knock off BOV and full 2.5" ebay intercooler pipes, bolts don't line up to the seudo 3000 pipe and the BOV has blown off a few times due to a crappy clamp ring attachment.
Radiator sits too high but it works nice and has a 2 year warrenty
All in all the car runs strong, it has a few small quirks but has only left me on the side of the road once when i first got it and has not done it since. I drive it daily and to work a 20 min drive. Engine sounds great, I installed a BIC ddp open air with a full 3" exhuast single cat custon muffler, and a shaft master aluminum drive shaft, replaced the brake bads and rotors all the way around.
Thanks for looking and a big thank you to all the moderators and forum donators for keeping this place around :love:
