So you guys are in for a bit of a story.
I First got my car about three years ago this june (June 7th 2003 to be exact) after previously owning a broken down, rusted '83 supra (still loved it tho). I had lost the number for the guy that was selling it, but lucky found it in an autotrader (still have the autotrader). It was sitting in the sun, with the targa off and all shined up. I fell in love. It had ~250k on it and the body was pretty much mint except for some road rashed paint.
I paid way too much for it ($7500 can) because unknown to me the turbo was about to blow, for the amount of kilometers on it and it probably had all the early signs of a BHG know that I look back on it.
The Turbo blew around sept of that year and it sat for a month until I srounged up enough cash to get a rebuilt ct-26 put on (I bought the car when I was 17 and never even heard of SupraMania until later).
After I got the turbo fixed it was my daily driver up in Fort McMurray all year round meaning that it saw some harsh weather (-40 degrees).
After that my friend got an '87 turbo as well (stanzaspeed) and we began our plans to build our cars. Got some koni yellows and ST springs off of him then got my exhaust. I bought a Blitz Nur Spec cat-back, dropped the cat and got a cooleeze ceramic coated dp.
Ran like that until this Oct, when finally my HG went boom.
Now it has been sitting in the shop since November 29, getting a HKS MHG, ARP head studs, new pistons and rings, rebuilt cylinder head and all new bearings put on. I also have two autometer gauges (boost and EGT), and a lowtek gauge pod waiting to be installed. I finally just got the news that my car is ALMOST :3d_frown: done, ugh, I have been waiting for my car for months. I cant wait to drive it again. It is going to be like new. Only a couple more weeks :icon_bigg
Thank you all for reading.
P.S. I have some parts on the way this summer, it should sit at about 320hp or so by the end of the summer, plus a new paint job. I will keep you all updated.
