[SupraJDS]

[supraghost]

hope that clutch works out for ya... ive heard nothing good about ebay clutches....


get that thing painted and turboed! looks good

[MKIIIsuprakid]

i was going though a few different colors . first i wanted a silver then maybe black ..then i found this crazy dark purple color that iam pretty sure i will be using it ....il try to get a sample of it to post. i was trying to figure out a way to remove the front trim where the fender and bumper meet ?? any ideas? i though of using sheet metal but i though it had to flex ?

[MKIIIsuprakid]

recently i have replaced the wires, Alternator, and battery




I am almost done my bodywork. This is bondo hair over Bondo...

wo... an 80s Supra that somebody is actually takin the time to fix. 7MG FTW! I'm happy for ya dude.

One of my co-workers friend is rebuilding 2 of the engines and usin a 3rd one for spare parts. They're trying to build a N/A 350whp daily driver and a Turbo 600whp drag car. Just swap the engines out when they wnt to head up to "The grove."
There's a 7MGTE Supra sitting at my friend's garage that has a massive turbo kit on it and a stage 3 clutch kit specifically for drag. The dude runs 11s. I wanna know what else is done to the thing.

Dude, just good luck. I've read articles in magz that even the cheap way can get you some goin somewhere. It def helps when its a learning process.

thanks man ..yeahs its been a great leaning experience i have done everything my self with some old school help. i would be happy making anything over the stock 200hp. nothing to crazy its my DD so i want it to last. next upgrade iam saving for is eibachs to go with with my tokico's.

So its been a while since i last updated so here it is

I bought a set of 17" Konigs Nexts from a fellow tst member.

And i have finished most of the body work,still need to get a fender and mirror

[Scapegoat]

i really love this body style... and wish you luck with the project. But those rims/tires are waaaay to small for the car

I'd love to see a bigger sidewall tire on those rims to fill in the wheel well

[MKIIIsuprakid]

Yeah bigger tires are definitely in the works for next summer i took them off yesterday. Back to the ol saw blades again. looking for some nice 235/40/17 's

[Honduh]

[MKIIIsuprakid]

[MKIIIsuprakid]

little update i re-torqued my bolts and advanced the timing a little bit its running very nice right now. gunna go to yard next week and get me a fender and mirror soon this looks is killing me. I am so glad i put my stock rims back on made me really notice how badly i need bigger tires on those rims.
