Name is Chris. From Princeton, Texas. 1st Supra, bought it to use as my daily driver (cheaper on gas than my Dodge truck - even it has a few mods) and who says a daily can't be something that's fun to drive. Also because, as of right now my Honda is in the middle of a build (shooting for mid 500s). Really love the Supra even though its got a few issues and missing a few interior pieces. But she runs great and decent gas mileage.

She's a dirty girl and needs a bath bad, maybe a new paint job of Cobalt Blue Metallic. PO rather than fixing the leak in the sunroof properly just used a sh*tload of silicone and sealed it up completely, the harness is all jacked up. There are 3 harnesses in the radio area and one is all hacked up. Some pieces are broken and others are missing. But this is my daily beater as they say. I just firmly believe don't drive something you can't have fun in as well.

This is my project CRV. Fully built B20B4 no VTEC (Don't need it....Yet). Still waiting for the bigger turbo and a few other odds and ends. Paint will be Cobalt Blue Metallic with silver pearl or metal flake.

Nice Supra, I like the sleeper look you have going on. Was the car originally N/A or turbo? If you don't already know, you can find easily find out by the VIN, if it starts with MA70 it's N/A, MA71 means turbo. I'm just curious because it's wingless.

A boosted CRV is definitely different, but I can't say I'm a fan of the body kit. Is it auto?

Welcome to SM.

Thank you.
Originally an NA and its anything but a sleeper. Its way to loud to be a sleeper. I knew about the chassis model number already, this is my second Supra, my last was a 88 Turbo with the 1J swap and larger turbo and a few other upgrades. Had to get rid of it when the kids came and took me almost 10 years to find a good one for sale at the right price. I am just not sure of the transmission and rear end gears, it has a lot more pull in 5th than my old supra.

There are several boosted CRVs out there and some have even added VTEC plus boost, but mine is boosted and fully built but without VTEC (I think its overrated anyway, you always hear VTEC this VTEC that). and this is by no means a race car but why build a car you can't have some fun with right? It is an auto and that is built out too with racing spec clutches and performance steels, the TC has been modded to give a higher stall speed. The body kit was the better of 3 evils has my front and rear bumpers were just worn out plus a lady had rear ended the car and thrashed the bumper pretty good and my ex wife took (one of the reasons she is an EX) care of the front bumper. My choices were an over done lip kit that just doesn't flow very well and stands out as a lip kit, or one that looks just plain hideous. I have plans to spend some time doing some extra body work on the front bumper and change it to be a little easier on the eyes.
