A Brief bit about your journey in owning your supra AND why you deserve ROTM:
I got this car in September of 2007 for FREE. Can't beat getting a running, driving black car for $0. The already battered 5MGE and automatic soon got tired of my abuse and started to burn oil while the slushbox slipped obnoxiously, so I started an engine build and gathered the parts necessary for a 5 spd swap. I am into the car now for about $1,500 and a couple of ounces of blood and sweat. I think I deserve to be a ROTM because I've put a lot of hard work and dedication into this car. Like me, she may not be the prettiest on the outside, but she sure has a heart of gold (or iron and aluminum alloy).

THANK YOU!!!

I am very honored to be the first mk2 to make ROTM, this couldn't have been a better time for me with the cars "new" engine and first dyno runs. April and May have been good to me, as well as this forum!

I want to thank ForcedTorque, Defiant 7M, cuel and SupraGuy31 for hooking me up with 7M parts for my build and Aaron @ RabidChimp.com for letting me use his garage, tools and patience, and of course, the mods and admins who made this possible :)

What do you mean, it's not the prettiest on the outside??????? The 85 hatch is So sexy, and a flawless looking black is pure sex. Oh, and You have a pretty nice outside yourself. Your engine bay is by far the best looking MKII bay I have seen. That timing cover just sets it off, as well as the CAI. Your car is definitely wothy of it's prize!
