New from Ohio with an mkiii turbo

[Southpaw]

Hey guys what's up. My name is Alex and I'm 20 years old, turning 21 in 10 days :biglaugh:. Anyway I picked up this Supra about a week ago. 1987 5spd turbo with the targa top. It's in nice shape and has a rebuilt 92 engine in it. As of right now it is basically stock save a cone air filter and a shimmed wastegate. It is my daily driver so I don't want to go too crazy with the mods. Turbo back exhaust is in the future, (I just ordered a BIC DDP not 5 minutes ago:naughty, wheels and some suspension work. The paint is in great shape so I don't have to mess with that, for now. I have a lot of questions regarding some minor problems I want to ask, but I'll sit tight and soak up some info as I browse the technical threads. The following pics are all I have right now. Soon I'll go out for a photoshoot and get some good artsy ones.

Welcome to SM!

The body & paint appear to be in amazing condition. I like it.

As mentioned, if you have questions, search here or make a thread,
but if all else fails...I know you've got a lot of Supra support in Ohio.

I'm not too far from there! I live off of far hills between stroop and dorothy. I have two jobs and go to school, so I don't get much free time to just drive . Plus I'm working on fixing a bad coolant leak. Do you recall seeing a white police interceptor with hids? That was my last whip...

Thanks for the link trdsupra!

Welcome to SM! Paint looks great for an '87. Let us know how you like your BIC DDP when you get it installed.
I'm still looking to grab one used myself

 

[Supra28]

Car looks really good, I think I seen this car for sale on craigslist. Well, always cool to see another Ohioan on the forums. Good stuff and welcome to SM.

I has not seen yours. Southpaw lives literally on the same street that i do, and the paint is like freaking god on his car. Just looks damn good! We need to gang up and clean his engine bay!

Recognise this in kettering?

Yea the paint is good, but there is some bubble rust starting to show. Also the spare tire area is just plain crap.

Always a pleasure to see more Ohio Supra owners. Welcome to the forums. See you around.
