South Dakota here!!!

[Supra_5tAt1c]

Hey all! I'm new to the site here. I am a member on celicasupra.com, same name here and there.....i'm George. I have an 82 P-type.

Nothing much for mods as of yet. 2.5" straight-piped, custom intake, custom stereo. I'm in the process of sanding out all the rust and repainting....i'm rattle canning the black. Turning out decent so far. I am saving up for a custom paint job.


Here sometime towards the end of August/beg. of Sept. I am going to be driving my Supra out to Southern Cali to visit a friend returning from Iraq. I've posted a thread on celsup as to the route i'm taking and such. If anyone is along the way, give me a shout. the car is quite old and i hope i can make it without too many problems. I'm busy preparing the car for the trip. Anyone, feel free to comment and I'm glad to be here. HERE is the thread.

I'm apologizing in advance as i will probably be on cs more than i am here. Nothing bad, just the 'sis' site is ded. to my car.

Welcome!!!! glad to see the old war horse is still running!!!

 

[Supra_5tAt1c]

thanks. yeah, she's only got 106,000 miles on her...still running strong, not drinking too much oil. 2 quarts in 3 months isn't too terribly bad. Anyways, it's alot of fun and gets alot of attention around here because i'm the only Supra in a 100 mile radius....lol!(take that back, there are 3 mkIII's and 2 mkIV's 72 miles from where i live).

Looks good! I spent a few years in Huron SD when I was little, are you anywhere near there?

No muffler? How loud is it?!

yeah...i'm about 50 miles away...i went to school in Huron in the 7th grade also. Umm, not too loud...but at WOT she wails.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KqKF1uDAiE

there are other videos on there too...camera pics up too much sound so you don't get the full effect...

South Dakota,

wow that brings back memories!

I purchased my 87 Supra in Rapid City, South Dakota back in 1994.

Hey there George, welcome to the forums.

 

[Supra_5tAt1c]

Thanks guys....I'm trying to keep this beast alive and spinnin!!

My dream car is the MKIV but I'm more than happy starting out with the MKII...

I want to give her a better powertrain, so in the next few years, be watching for a build thread...may happen sooner than I think! Hopefully!!

Turboing the 5M is pointless IMO....it would cost more to turbo the stock motor than to swap in a 7m-GTE...soo..i plan on implementing such motor or even a 1J or 2JZ if i become lucky enough to get my hands on one...part availability means brownie points for me....lol!

Like mentioned above, I'm heading to California the last week in August - the first week in Sept. so if anyone wants to meet me along the route i posted, give me a jingle...i won't have internet along the way but my celly is 605-377-3869! Thanks!

and a pic before i washed her and the hood still not attached...
