my introduction

[BrandonW]

Hey my name is Brandon as you can all see in my user name I am 21 and I own a 1989 toyota supra turbo 5 spd targa top, I have been looking on this forum for a cuple of months now and I just wanted to introduce myself.

The car has been around since 89 when my mom and dad bought it, it was sitting in my driveway for about 4 years at one point with no one driving it and I said hey I like this car I want it and I want to get it fixed up.

Anyone located anywhere around turnersville nj or know of any good shops around that area?

here are some pictures that I already have I will get some exterior pictures soon

Hello there. Welcome to Supra Mania.

There isn't to much wrong with the car I believe it isn't getting the best of compression, I have a exhaust leak on the flex section of the downpipe so its a little loud at idle, some exterior rust that needs to be taken care of and i need to go run out and get a radiator cap because the one i have on there is letting coolant out.

while geting the car running and while I was driving my car I have replaced:
starter
new tires since the ones were dry rotted when we got the car running
power steering pump
clutch master cylinder
water pump
new stock tems
steering rack
alternator (went while i was driving one time, lights went dim)
belts (there was a sticker that was in the engine bay that said the belts were done at 65,000 miles and i started driving it with about 196,000 but i forget when i actually got them done)
power intena
break rotors warped after a while of driving so i got new stock ones
the break pads but I don't know if all 4 were done maybe just the back or the front but I need new ones again


Here are a few more pictures:
