I am finding more about this one as i play with it
The engine was running fine and my buddy i got it from daily drove it. he sold it to a kid and he blew the HG and sold it back to my buddy. He then took it to a shop and had the block and head cleaned up and what not, they ended up charging him twice the amount he was quoted. He refused to pay and took the car home and the shop kept the head.
From what i can see and gather... a new OEM Head is gonna run around $500-600 bucks and I have been searching and finding JDM Import low mileage engines for a just a tad more... so thats my move.
It pretty much needs a front clip
The hood, headlight buckets, bumper, fenders and lights are all dented and messed.
*Fixed as of 1/19/2010
The front bumper is getting replaced
The running lights and turns are getting new smoked out lenses
If i watch where i buy this stuff from, i can keep the price down pretty easy.
My buddy and I have been searching for stuff and have found things I like already.
I can tell by just looking at the interior and how its set up, that it was a well thought out and designed sports car back in the day and they did not leave out anything.
I will have all the little bugs worked out. and replace what needs replacing
Before any "visual modifications" go on, normal maintainance is obviously top priority.
That being said... if its a normal maintainance item that needs replaced and i already planned on "upgrading" it, then it will be upgraded will i have it "down".
It needs:
JDM Import 7MGE
Front Nose
Upper Nose Lip
Turn Signals & Running Lights
and other little stuff I am sure to get it back to commision
But here is what I want to do to it before summer hits.
JDM Import 7MGE Engine
Vented&Slotted Rotors
Stainless Steel Brakelines
Ram Air Intake
18x7.5 w/ 225/40ZR18s
2.5in Catback
Interior Cleaning
Cut Springs (lower it some)
CA Bushings
Ball Joints
Stereo System
Stage 1 Jet Black Paint
Smoked Out JDM Lenses
and I am sure other little stuff will come up.
I do not want to make a race car out of it nor do i want to make it ridiculously fast.
I want a nice performing, and looking Supra
that will last me a while.
It needs to be a good Daily Driver and have no problems... I have enough of those with my Crawler which is why i am making a new DD.
Anyways enough of the rambling, if you want any pics or have anything to add or anything... let me know.
The direction of my Supra is pretty set for now.
Enjoy my new toy.
