@ Silver MK3, Thank you for the hospitality. Well I do have the one profile picture of me standing by my car. Once my phone gets back from Samsung factory repair I will post some more pictures for you all to see. Btw do you know where I can pick up a supra badge like the one pictured in your profile?

There on any 86.5-90. Should be able to find one from one of the part outs in the for sale section.

I am kind of close, I get out to O-side a few times a month. I don't really want to be to specific here, however feel free to send me a pm if you feel the need to. What year is your ride and when did you get it? Are you happy with it? Boost is addicting glad to see you chose a great car.

It is funny because I have now ran into 5 people I know since getting my car that love it and they ALL said "I always wanted a Supra like yours".

@ hvyman, Thank you for the tip! I am a member on 3 other forums and have had no luck finding one same goes for eBay. I was headed that direction on this fine forum soon. Keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks again.

I would try what hvyman said. You may be able to still get them from Toyota but they probably cost an arm and a leg...

IchibanEye my ride is a 89 supra t-top and i bought it off some guy on craigslist for $800.
the pro's: the interior is really well taken care of with the exeption of the dash (sun damaged)
running a TD06H20G turbo
drift motion front mount intercooler
3inch straight piping
the cons: ding on the driver side front quarter panel
automatic........and the reverse is no good XO(but drives fine in all foreward speeds) LOL
the paint can use some touch up
and i actually have had people tell me the same thing things like you got a SUPRA?!!! I wish i had a monster of car like yours lol
yes the boost is very addicting

Sounds like a keeper my man! Keep in touch and enjoy. Btw great find even if she is an automatic.

Welcome to SM.

I'm good but I also think jmillan is aware that his $800 ride is in need of some love and he realizes that his auto is not ideal. I do look forward to him taking care of his car in the future or at least I hope he does.

Welcome to SM.

thanks and you all seem to lack the stench and STICK UP THE BUTT mentality that some of the members and moderators have honed into a worthless social skill over at supra forums. god bless you all for that.

Haha thank you. I am a bonehead....I went outside and guess what, it has the o.g. nose badge. I thought it was the symbol one. So all is well in Supra land.....at the moment.

People who act like they belong on SF get treated as if this is SF. We don't do the search police bullshit because then you end up with a million threads all ending with "use search noob" and the answer is still lost in the pages.

When you have any problems, don't post on here and be like "OMG MY CAR SHUT OFF AND IT WON'T RESTART" add some information on things you already previously tried to remedy the problem. Use some knowledge and type with decent grammar and you'll go a long way on the forum. Welcome to Supramania.

Thanks for the advice and greeting. I also read the pointers on how to post on this forum. It makes complete sense, the more information the better off we all are for it. Cheers!
