Well I've been in the Supra Game Since the 7th Grade. My dad had Purchased a Baby Blue 87T from a local used car dealer with a blown motor. His first move was to purchase a 87 TSRM from Toyota. I remember looking at him like O.O 130 bux. He's like this book is this car's bible son. He also purchased a gasket kit, a couple packs of FIPG, ect. ect. Another neat thing was the dealer who sold us the car gave us a 89T Motor, well my dad wheeled and dealed it out of him. The car was perfect on the inside, but the sun took a toll on the exterior. We took the pan off the 89 motor and measured some clearances, did the valve clearance work with the motor off the car. After the "fresh" motor was done, we preceded to remove the old motor the hard way! Well long story short, the Motor was in and it fired up the first try but died right away because the timing light we had bit the dust. :cry:
But the next day after a trip to Sears it was running, rough and a little miss here and there. Due to us not connecting the O2 sensor! DOH! Failed Smog once due to that, and us not setting the timing right. So much for having a TSRM huh DAD? Who knew you had to jump the computer, it also to this day has a idle issue, we changed the ISC valve with one we thought worked but apperently not. Well the car passed smog ran like a champ had some wiring issues but we fixed them along the way. :icon_bigg
The car at boost was a monster, even with full stock parts. :aigo:
My uncle has the car now since my dad got married in 2005, he has since blown the motor driving it without oil. Rebuilt by my Cousin, where they installed the head onto the block prior to the Front timing plate on the block and warped the HG by pinching it. :icon_evil
I did the HG Replacement on that car and boy the shit i fixed on that car along the way. Don't touch a supra if you have NFI.
Car as it sits today.
Stay tuned, Get be Prepared for part 2, Heartbreak.
