Some of you may know me, I've been a member for several years, I had an 87 N/A as my first car:
That car BHGed at the worse possible time, about a week after I got fired from my job and couldn't find another one immediately. It's been a long and rocky road since then, and I've been through several cars. All of them have meant a lot to me, but I've never loved any other car like I loved my MA70. The list goes like this:
86 FC RX-7 GXL
90 FC RX-7 GTU
87 FC RX-7 Base
(Somewhere in here there was another 90 FC that I used the engine from for my first 90 FC)
83 Volkswagen Rabbit GL
83 Celica Supra P-Type
85 Nissan 200SX Turbo
89 Nissan 240SX (To swap the engine into the 200SX)
AND FINALLY:
1987 Toyota Supra Turbo.
Here's the ad that I bought it off of:
The seller is an "acquaintance" of mine, so I helped him to get some pictures of it, and at first I was skeptical. It needs a LOT of work. It didn't even run, the paint is cheap and BAD, the tail-lights are Jewed up, no A/C or Foglights, interior is... pretty "Riced" out to put it plainly.
Even still... I wanted it... :icon_razz
But after finding out it didn't run, and just seeing all the crap it has going on with it, I offered the guy a rediculously lowball offer, NEVER expecting him to take it... But he TOTALLY did.
Towed it home, put a EFI relay in it, Now it runs.
I RAPED that poor fool. :naughty:
Even still it has a LOT of issues that will need to be fixed, and I just found out today, I won't be getting the title for a few weeks. :nono: So it won't quite be ready to take to any fancy meets anytime soon.
Anyways, thanks for reading, and any interest expressed it greatly appreciated. Engine bay pics soon!

So since this is my build thread, First question. How do I make the alarm NOT go off every time I open the drivers door?

I really don't want to come back and mess with it and I damn sure don't want to tow the big bastard
So here's the deal, i'm not really sure how well this is going to work but i'm gonna go for it anyway.
I recently went on vacation back to my home state of Ohio... and got a job. So now i'm forced with either bringing the car that i want to sell up here, or selling it in VA. So i'm going to try my hand in Virgina first. Now, on to the listing.
Travis
Richmond/Ohio
pm/thread/text (I have shitty service here)
804-982-6084
1987 Toyota Supra (targa/turbo)
5 speed
Freshly rebuilt 7mgte (2mm titan HG)
the previous owner had the rebuild done then never broke it in, i have the receipt for the rebuild
Front mount IC with 3in piping and 3in core other than that and the 3in exhaust it's pretty much stock.
It has a no name recirc BOV on it and i'll throw in a no name manual boost controller that came off my 240.
Good:
Freshly rebuilt
new clutch
New NGK plugs and wires
Working TEMS (rare)
interior electronics work (Dash, console, seat)
Targa doesn't leak (it pools and gets one big drip if it's been sitting but doesn't leak even through the car wash)
Fresh paint even though it looks to be maaco quality with some orange peel and over spray but looks decent and shines up well
minimal rust and I do mean minimal. None on the body or panels, just surface stuff on the underside and some suspension surfaces. A friend of mine works at a dealership so when i got my inspection (valid until 3/11) he snuck me in the back to see it on the lift
Bad
It runs and starts and all that jazz but it's got a massive boost leak that i haven't had time to mess with and since i'm now in Ohio, it's not convenient to go out and take care of it, lol.
It idles and runs up until about 2k when you start to push out of vacuum.
leaky injector (i think it might be the o-ring)
AS IS i'm looking to get 4400 obo for it since the problems are obvious and very cheap to fix. Even if you had to replace the injectors used ones are less than $100 and the vacuum leak is a matter of finding it.
Once i get paid i'm going to out source it to a friend to have him fix it and the price will be upped to 5400obo upon repair. So it really is a steal for such a beautiful classic import if you get it before it's fixed and there after it's what i believe to be a fair price.
As far as trades the only things i'll consider are 4x4's.
(maybe the right Subaru) i do not have cash on top. Ideally a work truck + cash.
I don't have a desktop right now or a sandisk reader on my laptop so i can text pictures but i'm working on a solution to that.
so you have a general idea...
But my paint looks better and it doesn't have big gay rimzzzz on it.
Thanks for your time.
