I have the PIAAs and have actually written the for sale text to post them up here about 4 times. Each time I write the text I realize how much I missed the Supra and was not able to post the rims up for sale.
A little more of the story.
My Supra has 186,000+ miles on it. Original engine + original turbo. I know they are both tired but it ran strong - making the drive to 9 straight SILV events from Portland (3000 miles round trip each year).
Back in 05 I had some issues passing emissions and since I wanted to make the Supra a project car anyway (no longer a daily driver) I purchased a Solara SLE Drop Top to flog around town to work etc.
As the days turned into weeks and the weeks turned into months I found plenty of other projects to keep me busy - home ownership, SILV planning, home theater, game room, etc. Eventually the months turned into years with the only time the Supra moved was when I pushed it out of the garage for the Superbowl party in 07. I tried a couple of times to spark the project again by purchasing various parts etc (I've got a nice stack ready to get installed now). I even tried working on my headlights again.
KevinM came down this weekend and we replaced some drywall that I put a small (22" x 79") hole in when I was wiring my home theater (front projection 150" 7.1 - nearly 2000 watts). Then today we went down and picked up a new battery just to see what the Supra would do.
Crank, Crank, Crank, VROOM! DAYUMN!
Now I have a bit more motivation and the weather is turning nicer here in the NW (no heat in the garage other than the wood stove).
Will see what happens.
186,000 miles on the engine and turbo with only a retorque. 130,000 miles on the same reman'd clutch.
Who says these cars are not reliable? Kiss my Exhaust!
