Hey, Matt:
How many miles were on that shell you have? Is it an MA71? Did it escape that hailstorm?

May 6, 2006 Supra Meet in Greenwood, IN
- Thread starter Jspec7m88
- Start date
It has 141,000. Everything is there(including targa top) EXCEPT for taillights, 3-piece wing, plastic side pieces on door, all the trim, and then I believe Matt just took the motor and ECU for himself.
I know this because I bought it off this guy and took some parts then sold it to Matt.

Hmm... I'm kinda torn. I'd like to buy that car, tear it down to the chassis, and then build it up to pristine condition. However, I don't really have a place to keep it or do the work.
On the other hand, I could probably take that $1400 I was planning on putting into bodywork and buy a whole car that doesn't need any bodywork, with a blown motor. This option wouldn't be as rewarding, but it would be far more practical.
Eriol said:
As rewarding, No. Of course not. but with $1,400, you could get a very nice Supra with a blown motor or something but with a good body...and then you can go from a "good frame and body" and restore it to Perfection or what not. I'll keep a look out if I spot any motorless Supras!:icon_bigg
Jeff
Jeb... I say screw rewarding... and go practical. Driving would be more rewarding that putting one back in pristine condition.
Or a mk2 with a 7mgte awap. Those things FLLYYYYYY.

Yessss...Call me a fool, but my dream "old school" Supra would be a MKII Supra w/ a 7M and MKIII Interior.
Tell me that wouldn't be bad-butt.:naughty:
I hate the interior in MKII's because they remind me of the old Honda Accords and Civic, etc.:3d_frown: I Lovvveeee the cockpit in MKIII's...it's like an Airplane.

Cool, thanks for keeping an eye out, Jeff.
And thanks for the heads-up, Al -- I'm going to pass on that one, because I don't have anything to tow it with at the minute... I'm probably going to have to help my buddy fix his truck. Also, It's not a targa -- I'm a picky bastard.
But it is probably the best "project car" Supra on eBay right now.
Looking around at the other MKIII turbos on ebay, I'm suprised how much they're going for! No wonder everyone always acted suprised when I told them I bought mine for $500.

I've decided to go ahead and combine SF & SM so it's less complicated for me to remember.

Thanks, guys.Jeff
http://www.modernspeedlabs.com <---This is where we will be dynoing (For anyone with interest to check it out). I've contacted Marc (the owner) again to verify us coming and mostly just to make sure he's aware of us coming. For those that care, there is no race gas at the shop so if you want some higher octane, fill it up before coming here or bring some with you! Again, it is $75 for 3 pulls...not a bad price, but this is why I have been stressing so much lately to get more people to dyno...So he can drop that price!
Turbo. Targa. Life.
SupraMania Shirt Slinger!
ahh, you friggin loser. So this means I can cancel you out, huh?:nono:
Well just be sure to get me my sweatshirt then...:3d_frown: :biglaugh:

Jspec: when you called MSL, did they have the day blocked off for us?
When I called, he started to block the day off for us... then he went to "check on something," and came back with that "rent it out for the day for $1500" thing.

No, I didn't get a chance to speak to Marc but he is suppose to be getting a hold of me tomorrow about that. It would be nice if he could at least reserve a 2-3 hour period for us. I'll let you guys know as soon as he calls me back.
They are open until 5PM on Saturdays(May 6), we will be meeting up at 12 or so...so I think that after gathering up, we will go straight for MSL. Anything after that can just be planned amungst ourselves.

Adam, yes, that Supra is beautiful. It REALLY IS one of the baddest MKIVs in America!
Also, Matt, I know that you will be running a little late, that's why I said that we will probably hang around for a little bit to wait for the ones coming long distance or of course, getting off work! Also, for the ones that are driving some distance, PM me your cell phone number (if you have one) incase anything were to happen or get lost or something like that. Mine is (317) 395-8362 Just so people can have it if anything comes up on the day of the meet.
