SupraSaver87 is on a distinguished road
Default I'm here to GLOAT!!!!

Well not really...just thought that would capture everyones attention...lol.

Actually I just want to say that today I purchased another Toyota Supra turbo. Its an 1988, auto, body rust, but my whole moms side are mechanics, it has command start, working TEMS struts, the hood and trunk stay open by themselves....don't laugh, my 1987 needs a 1 1\2 foot piece of rebar for the hood brace...lol.

It had two owners before me, and the original owner drove it for 2 years, then the guy I bought it off of got it. He took care of it, but was not able to keep in in a garage (He has always been a batchler, and lived in small apartment complex's), so he gave up about 5 years ago on rust prevention...he couldn't keep up. It has the leather interrior....**drule...*drip* *drip*.... so that car, the 88 will become my parts car, and it will make my 87 into the machine it deserves to be. Oh yeah, 63,000kms (not miles) ago, he did a $5,000 engine swap, he WAY overpayed, but hey, it was obviously done right.

Once I am done taking everything off of the car that I need, I will update my previous post in the parts section of the forum to reflect the parts still available, and how much they will be for. However I don't really want to gain that much in a monitary amount, I honestly just want to let others better their supra's by letting them have parts for cheap.

And since the engine in the 88 is newer, runs WAY better....I will more than likely have a FULL 7M-GTE (With the turbo) for sale. It would need a rebuilt, and some hoses need to be replaced (I just did a backyard job on the coolant transfer hose on the back of the engine, near the firewall)

Well keep looking for that update...should be in about 2-5 months.

Our Supra’s, which art in the driveway,
Hollowed be thy power, thy mods are great, thy speed endless,
On the road or at the track. Give us this day free of cops,
And forgive us our impound charges, as we forgive those who are slow.
And lead us not into speed traps, and deliver us from the interceptors,
For thine is our car, the power, and the glory…forever and ever….amen.
