new build

[Needboost]

Two yeras ago i bought a 88 n/a from a repo got it for 1250 not a bad deal for a sports car. it needs some work but nothing a little dedication cant fix. it has 138xxx miles on it and still runs like it came off the show room floor. in the past couple of months i finally started workin on it and trying to make it look like all the other beautiful supras on this forum. here is my project car. lots more pics to come.
this is the day that i brought it home.

dirty engine bay.

front view

just a few small rust areas.

i washed her some,polished the sawbladz a little. and cleaning for new weather stripping.

cleaned the engine bay. put a k&n filter, megan tower bar, new radaitor, new plugs wires, and changed valve cover gasket.

oh yeah.

got the part i needed today. should be done lowering by sometime next week. i will post some pics of the finished project

 

[Needboost]

got some new photos of the progress

driver side and passenger front finished

Koni and h&r set up

those red bushings look nice and will change the performance. but they are a pain to change. everything painted black i think it looks better

finally got the new bumpstops today so im going to start putting the rear back together

finally finished sanding and repainting

Your Supra is looking good. Seems you have your suspension mods almost complete. Any plans to add more power?

update. have been driving it about a month and it feels great no problems at all. i have a lot more looks at it going down the road now.lol:naughty:

 

[Needboost]

well just a little update.
i bought a 7mgte about a month ago and have since torn it apart and found out a few things. the cylinder walls are ok except for #2 hopefully i will just have to go .020 over to clean it up for the probe pistons i want. i also took the head apart and found that im going to have to get 8 new exhasut valves. its the begining of a long project and lots of money:aigo:. but im sure it will all be worth it.

the plan for right now is
-probe pistons
-eagle rods
-mhg
-civette bearings
-550 injectors
- maybe new valves if i need them
-57 trimm ct-26
-fuel mods
- 3inch turbo exhaust- getting the raptor racing hopefully soon
and im sure lots of other things. its only just the begining
any advice will be great or help will be great im all ears

 

[Needboost]

have some new pics it has been awhile since i posted any.

had the windows tinted and cleaned it up a little

and got a new exhaust

let me know what yall think

 

[A32Boost]

i love the drop, hopefully i get me some h&r's soon

 

[Needboost]

thanks man. there the best thing i have done to the car. they arent harsh at all

 

[Needboost]

been along time since i have updated my thread. last weekend i bout a 87 turbo and will soon be swaping everything out of the turboed car and putting it in mine. but before i do that i will be doing a fresh rebuild with the help of jordan and im sure a few other people. ill try and post of some pics of the parts car and a few other things i have done to mine some time this week.

How did you like the difference between the stock suspension and energy suspension with h&r?
