Sept 88 TurboA

[timothykant]

Hi everyone. I don’t think i have posted on here at all of pics of my car. Since I'm on deployment, I can’t exactly show you fresh pics yet but once I’m home ill update on my build/restoration.
The things done so far are minor cosmetics and suspension. I know I have an aftermarket rear diff also, but don’t remember the brand.
Right off the bat, once I’m home, I have my slotted/drilled StopTech rotors and pads to install along with Superstores’ high amp alternator. I’m tired of the old acid battery dying.... it did great while I was in Okinawa at least. On top of that, I want to take my car over to driftmotion to get some help on replacing some older OEM parts under the hood as well. Then onto getting a larger inducer set-up CT26 from Suprastore as well. I’m still learning how to work on motors and especially modifications since i have owned and let go of my 96 skyline I had. Miss her too But that’s why I saw and bought this (older) beauty into my life.

I am missing Oki..Especially my wife since she is from there. I haven't done anything with the headgasket yet....i have a cometic just in case but at the same time unsure when i will have the time to be able to do so since its my daily right now since my wife works as well. might end up just paying to have it done...

It's the same as the regular plastic air box. The Turbo-A came with a metal air box. It's just a cool rare "Turbo-A only part." I'll snap a pic of mine and post it for u.

I loved driving my skyline. i had put over 10k into it while i had it. sat with over 500hp too. but since it was a 96 i didnt want to bother with shady methods of bringing to the states and went with my supra instead but comparing the two....my skyline did drive better...newer and much more mods in it though...

I want one !!! I like RARE!

Sweet. I'd love to see both of your Turbo As some day at a meet.

You should also check out SoCalSupras.org if you haven't already. I've met up with another member named Dawly in San Diego, and we're working on getting my Supra running after having sat some time:

The website hasn't been quite as active as it used to be, but there's still some life in it. I'm hoping eventually things will pick up again, especially after getting the Supra back on the road.
