Okay, so this is my very first car that i have ever purchased, not to mention my first supra. I recently graduated high school and wanted to buy a car with my graduation money, thus finding a 1990 Toyota Supra Turbo that i picked up for only $1,300. Its definitely a project and now that I'm starting college Ill be working, so basically 90% of my money will be going to this car.
The car came mainly stock, only things done to it that i know of is that it has brand new head gaskets, a new K&N air filter, a new clutch (Im not sure the brand or exactly what was new, I forgot) and a rebuilt engine, as well as a rebuilt turbo. The turbo runs just fine and the car starts up nice too, the only thing is that it runs a little rough, possibly do to the injectors going out. All my money is going to engine mods and things that need to be done right now.
I have many plans for the car, I want it to be a fast daily driver along with it being reliable. Its going to take along time because I'm only making minimum wage but it will be worth it in the long run.
Im also debating to do a 2JZ Twin Turbo Swap or just make a beast out of the 7m-gte, still in debate.
Goals:
-Planning to install RC engineering 550cc injectors by next week
-I obviously need to get it registered but I want it to run first
-Its running on a spare right now, but Im going to change out both the rear tires
-I need all new window trim and I need to get my front passenger window adjusted
-Im going to take it in soon for a check up just to see if I need anything vital
-New Headgasket set up
-ARP Headbolts
-New Intake
-New radiator
-Greddy turbo and Intercooler
-New exhaust manifold
-Hks exhaust system
-Maybe a whole new clutch system
-Blow off valve
-Plenty more mods.
So here are some pictures of my car;
Its riding on a spare because that tire got torn up, the rim is fine, but its just in the trunk right now. The rim sizes are 17x8 in the front and 17x9.5 in the rear. As i upgrade I want to switch out the rims but keep that rim size. Currently sitting on 255/40's in the rear and 235/45's in the front.
The interior needs some work, Im not going to touch it for awhile though. Only the radio most likely. It has an old MOMO steering wheel as you can see and if you look closely in the front windshield, my dash has some nice cracks. I will eventually swap out the interior, carpet, seats and all that good stuff and get it replaced. I do want to keep the stock look to it just to keep my car semi-original. We will see what happens though.
Eventually I'm going to paint and clean the entire engine bay so my car can look pristine.
Its on stock MkIV rims right now, the previous owner said that the caps were stolen at the mall...bummer right?
So please leave any suggestions, comments, or your input on my car. I need all the help I can get.
Also leave me websites that are good for any aftermarket parts and accessories that will fit an Mk3, I have found a website called http://www.suprastore.com/ that i think is legit and I want to use but if you know of anything better, let me know.
I am open to alot.
Thank You
