Hey guys I just received a Supra in a trade here in houston. Some of you might recognize the car once I get some pictures up.

87 7mgte

Walbro 255

Aeromotive afpr

Hks ssqv bov

Hks intake

Custom intercool piping to a rather large intercooler

Greddy profec boost controller

Lexus afm

Upgraded stock ct26 turbo

3" exhaust from custom downpipe back

18x9 rims with 265/35R/18 Yokohamas.

Tokico shocks w/ H&R race springs

Crossdrilled rotors, axxis pads

NGK plugs and wires

Hks 3mm headgasket

ARP head studs

And some more stuff probably I can't think of.


Car was putting down around 250whp before the upgraded ct26 and the 3 inch exhaust...

But now it has a rod knock and a completely dead battery :/

Ill be rebuilding the motor as soon as I get into a place with a garage (November hopefully)

Wish me luck!

Cool I want to meet local supra people.

I bought the car with the rod knock, I kinda worded that wrong, sorry.

Ill be posting pictures asap. I'm on my phone internet now, so I'm not sure I can upload any.

I'm hoping I can find someone available to come let me use their battery so I can turn the car on. Mine won't even jump.

I traded my 1.8L swapped miata for it. Car runs strong, just needed some wheels and paint.

I got it from a guy named tim. Said it started knocking when he changed the turbo because he ran it low on oil.

The guy that did most of the work on the car goes by "cloud" on H-I.

I hadnt heard Steven got RK, last I heard he was thinking about selling and going S13.

Welcome to the forum. I spent last summer in Houston and got to know the locals somewhat. Its a good group of guys. Go hit the Chewy Balls meets and hook up with the other Houston guys (is Houstonareasupras still going? its down atm. Casey? you reading this?) for some fun.

Steven didn't get RK he somewhat abandon the idea of the S13 as of now he's sitting on the idea of a 1JZ in the Supra.
