New guy from Tampa Bay, FL

[JORAMI17]

Hi everybody, my name is Josh. First time in a Supra forum even though I have owned my 1991 MKIII Turbo 7M for about 6 years now.

I finally sold my baby......my 1984 VW Rabbit GTI Turbo so I decided to finally do something with my Supra and go rear wheel drive.

To start things off, I bought a 2JZ and I have absolutely no idea how to do this swap but looking forward to getting my hands dirty.

I'm in the Tampa Bay, FL area so if anybody has done this around here you are more than welcome to help me out....LOL!! Just kidding, unless you are serious.

Anyway, here are a few pics of my car.

You are too late, I was selling it a while back but decided to keep it. You can see the "For Sale" sign on the windshield in one of the pics. Thanks for the props though.

Welcome, if you need any help with the 2jz-swap info let me know. Also I can help with any wiring you may want/need to know.

I am actually driving down to Florida in December, the family wants to go there!

Sorry guys I should've specified. I am going from 7M-GTE to 2JZ-GTE (Aristo)

It's gonna be on stock twins for now til I recover monetarily (Is that a word?) but down the road, the plan is to go big single and big boost. I have to get back to the times my VW Rabbit ran (Mid 11's).

This car is nowhere near that right now but I know with little effort it will be way faster than my bunny could ever run. So, I am excited about this change and hopefully I will be able to hang with the big boys.:naughty:

Welcome, you have a good platform to start with. What exhaust do you have? That muffler is absolutely massive.

 

[HiPowerMtrsprts]

welcome!

 

[TweeT91109]

Hello, and maybe ill see you around

 

[JORAMI17]

Welcome, you have a good platform to start with. What exhaust do you have? That muffler is absolutely massive.

Custom made exhaust, 3 inch turbo back. The muffler is Apexi. No other mods so its kind of slow......but it sounds good!!

 

[jugodegolf]

Sounds good.
