Is the one with the stripe the new one? If so there must be something about black stripes and cheap Supra's. Picked this red one up dirt cheap recently.
What did you do to your supra today? Pics

Lol yup. It runs and drives. Need to go through the brakes and see what I can figure out.
It also has masking tape all over the trim and everything from when the PO rattle canned it. The paint is not very good. I haven't decided if I want to part it out, or sell as a whole, or fix and sell as a whole for double what I paid
Mine wasn't running but came with a list of mods worth much more than I paid for it. Swapped them over to my grey one. I'm parting out the engine/trans in the red one and will be doing an LS swap into it.
Today I showed my gf how to drive a sick on it :/
Only stalled a few times, had blast doing it

Wasn't bad at all, she didn't slip it at all. Still not good though, as I believe the car has a stock clutch. It gets a new clutch when I do the 1jz swap so I'm not too worried.

New charge pipe came in but it seems to be quite a bit smaller than the factory hose charge pipe.
What I do to my Supra today? I pulled (literally) it arond the side of the house and covered it up until spring when it is warm enough to work on it again.
Had my friend over yesterday and he convinced me to set it on the ground since its been on stands for the past 1.5+mths since I put coils on. So we rolled it out for a few quick snaps and so I could sweep out her bed. this is stance coils all the way down with out messing with preload, no engine or trans so Im probably gunna raise the front a little once those are in but it almost seem like they were designed this way considering how level it sits.

That's as low as the stances go? How high do they go? If I ever buy coilovers I need them to go as high as I need since I'm in hill billy ville

Your best friend when tinkering with gear ratios, rev limits, tire size changes, etc... All I can say is that my car tops out at 150 at the top of fourth with the setup I described above. Have only done that once, and don't have the power (or space) to top 5th out, so... there ya go.
I have the Stances, you'll be fine man. I'm not quite at the highest they'll go safely, and I'm not *too* much shorter than stock suspension. I think you could probably get it pretty close to stock if you really wanted to.BoostMonger;1896728 said:
Quite comfy for a coilover setup too.

Oh that's good, thanks man, I'm just wondering cuz Id like to get coilovers I can fully adjust my ride, but I can live with the illuminas til I find a cleaner body.

Not sure yet, I need to talk to Aaron again at DM. I'm only going to be running the Ct-26 off my 7mgte setup when I do itso I don't need to be able to handle too much more. I was thinking absolute max I'd ever need to handle is 350-400whp, though we all know how that goes. So something that is fairly streetable, deff won't be a puck clutch

Was going to test fit for a faceplate for the APEXi Neo and AVC-R in the car... But if I have to shovel snow before I can even open the door... Maybe not.
Noticed I had a headlight out on top going back to Verizon for the third phone this month...I wasn't in a good mood. Drove to AutoZone, changed it in the parking lot.
Half way through an old lady came up to me and asked what year it was, she told me she had An 89 with 100k that was the white package she got brand new in 89 she needed to sell. I said I probably don't need it but I know some ppl (this forum) who may be interested, so I got her number tand she said to come take pics and she will give me some money if I sell it. Needless to say, ill post pictures of what she has soon. Hopefully its a diamond in the rough!
