St2b's 7M-GE-T Buildup

Offroad race

My wife was looking over my shoulder this morning and said that your car was pretty. It looks pretty dang good with Jay's old wheels on there. Yes it could sit a little lower but I think it looks great the way it is.

Alright man, you're killing me :biglaugh: :biglaugh: :biglaugh:


And thanks GTS!!!

It's only going to get better, and better!

Idk, I kinda like it when Supra's stick their noses in the air... :biglaugh: Gives them a presence on the road that no other car has.

Matt: You need to make sure the HAC is functional in your car

Thanks, I got big plans for this Supra. More of a restoration thing rather than a modification!

Restore first, then modify. Once it's fully restored (mods are fine as long as they are done cleanly), people will really start to like your car as say things like "damn that Supra is clean" and "I wish that were my Supra." Look at former SM member mattjk's ultra clean 91 that he just sold. He had almost no mods other than a 1J swap and 5-speed conversion and some wheels and springs. His former Supra is considered one of the cleanest MKIII's in existance.

Keep the restoration up bro. Pretty soon you'll have a stack of Champion Toyota invoices as thick as mine (although I am just getting started).

Thanks man I took a look at your clean thread as well. I'm not doing any engine mods for one reason, reliability. I just want a clean Supra.

Here are my plans...

1. Drivers door trim
2. New leather seats and interior (Door panels and whatnot)
3. Pulled interior to add new rust and sound proof material
4. Headers and new exhaust (Rusted manifold and ugly tip)
5. Slightly lowered
6. Some 89+ Parts (Mirrors and steering wheel)
7. Compression test
8. Silicone vac hoses
9. Polished radiator and steel braided line (Just for looks)
10. Intercooler blockoff plate (Again, for looks)
11. Neutral Safety Sensor
12. 89+ Spoiler
13. New tires

Small tuneup type stuff, along with restoration.

LOL! That's what I said last year and now I've got one hellavu mess on my hands. All because of the Boost Gods. The flesh is weak. Resist temptation.

I had a really clean NA once.:3d_frown:

Nice man, but seriously I plan to stay n/a until I can afford a stock turbo Supra to upgrade.

Spoken like a true professional!

Matt, if you ever get bitten by the turbo swap bug, take a look at Ken's build thread, and stick to your original plans of just buying a turbo car instead.
