Pa supra

[colpire]

So...how do I start this? Well I'm new, and I have an 87 supra.

As of now the supra is sitting in the shop with the freshly swapped 1jz :naughty:....I just recently got my stinger and my k-sport suspension is coming tuesday. I have big plans for the car and it should be finished by late spring early summer.

Plans include ccw classics (dont worry duane, my car is black ) with M/T 275/40/17 street drag radials in the back which will look pure evil :evil2: ; a
74mm comp turbo, and I'm also going to be converting it to E85 as well. Should be within the ballpark of 750rwhp.

Im gonna have to give the credit to Impo performance for doing all the work. Yea yea, I'm not doing it myself which is ashame, but I just dont have that knowledge. Im going to school as a mechanical engineer major, automotive of course, and once I'm out of school I'll be doing all my car projects, which I already have like 10 in mind lol, by my own two hands. Is it weird that I'm more excited for that than I am for my supra to be done? lol

Well expect me to post some pics of my car within the next few weeks with the 1jz motor in it. They did a beautiful job on it and I cant wait for more.

the head gasket blew twice....lol. And I like the fact that the 1jz is a 2.5 litre. I feel like it'll make a nicer noise at higher revs.

And I'll get some interior pics soon.
