Hey,
Obviosly, I am new here. I am 15 (turning 16 in august) and am obsessed with supras. For a long time i have been in love with cars, and after many months, and years of searching i have found the perfect car fom me...
the mkiii Supra!
I have a good amount of money saved up so far (bout 2 grand), but not enough to buy a good supra (yet). I am working 3 jobs this summer, one at a mechanic shop, one caddying, and one at a bike shop, all for the sole purpose of saving up for a car. I am also selling TONS of usless stuff on ebay. In a nutshell, I am dedecated to buying a supra. I would have bought one already, and be working on it right now, but my dad insist that my first car actually runs when I buy it.
IF ANYONE HAS A CAR FOR SALE (NOT IN THE FOR SALE SECTION) OR KNOWS OF A GOOD DEAL... PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!!
I am not looking for just any supra. I want to buy one with a 7mgte, manual tranny, preferebly 90-92, and targa tops. TEMS would be nice too, but I am planning on replacing my coilovers with tien ss as soon as possible!
If anyone has any advice for me, that would be nice.
Thanks allot (if you actually read it) and I will see you in the forums!

What I want to do...
When starting off, I want to keep the stock exaust system from the cat back, but put in a BIC performance downpipe with a divorced test pipe that i can open and close from the dash. To prevent leaking headgaskets, or even blowing them, I want to put in a stronger head gasket right away (any suggestions??). I will start off with a manual boost controller and a boost meater, but later on an electronic controller would be nice. In terms of the intake, I cant seem to find any short ram/cold air intakes out there except HKS:1zhelp: , but i have heard that they are very dirty, so that is out of the lot (any suggestions??). I might just put in a new filter with some kind of splash guard (temporarly). Later on i will probably rebuild the CT26 with better parts, new intercooler and piping, 550cc ingectors, new fuil pump (ect...) and a bigger exaust (I like the hks dragger). Also I will probably rebuild the bottom end, or the whole engine with lightweight parts. In terms of suspention, I would like to put in tien ss coilovers, front and rear sway bars, and other various suspention components. I really like the gold RSB wheels by HDwheels, but I dont think they would be big enough for a supra. In terms of cosmetics, i LOVE the Akushia body kit (http://translate.google.com/transla...arshop.com/axia/&langpair=ja|en&hl=en&ie=UTF8) its kinda rare, but here it is! otherwise, I would like to track down some clear turn signals, and convert the headlights to hd. Of course, If i were to put such a nice body kit on, i would paint it, not just leave it bondo (i see that WAY too much!).
Waddya think?? any suggestions?? This is just me thinking, and i would probably do more with more money, not that this isnt allot already... but whatever. :icon_bigg
