New here from WA state

[ryojikaji]

Hello all,

Sorry but, I don't own a Supra. I own a 1989 Toyota Cressida. At the moment I have a 7MGE that is in good shape (headgasket is still good). My immediate plans are W58 and some kind of coilovers. I already found all of my 5 speed parts, just waiting on them to arrive.

My brother (aphxero on here) got me into Cressidas. The first time I drove his car I fell in love! I joined this forum because the Cressida shares so many parts with a Supra I figured I could learn alot here and maybe even contribute.

For more info on me and my history with cars go here:

Welcome to the site

Thanks everyone! Yeah, I would love to go cruise with you guys. I'll probably be at the back of the line because my car is so slow, so try not to lose me. I plan to install a 1jz just like my brothers Cressida in the future. However, being that I use my cars for drifting; a bucket seat, footwork and LSD are a much higher priority than more power. If you have AIM, look for me on there = Drift Future

Car will be 5 speed next weekend, now I can use this:

Met up with my brother tonight so here are a few more ;-)

Ok so Aphxero and myself finally got to work on this thing. I blew the engine so Saturday we went and picked up a wrecked MKIII Supra. It has a new clutch, rebuilt trans, rebuilt motor and most importantly, all the 5 speed parts I need. Here are some pics from day 1:

The donor:

Engine is out of the Supra

Spare parts for later:

Nice and clean:

Time to take out the trash:

That's the end of day 1. More to come.

Here are some pics from day 2:

the head was super clean inside!

That's it for day 2.

On day 3 we made the final push and put everything together so no time to take pics. We were able to make everything work with the parts we had from both cars. My brother put the finishing touches on the car today and I should have it back tonight. I'll post pics of the finished product tomorrow.

Drove the car all day today and everything is perfect. I'm so glad to finally have 5 speed. Anyway, here are a few pics:

A HUGE thanks to my brother Mark (aphxero), Bob, Tim, Marcus and Anthony for all the help!

That shift knob is wicked, haha. That's a nice ride.

I cried a little inside when I scrolled down and saw that wrecked Supra.
