Turbo, 5spd

WiseAssJester · 01-25-2006, 03:06 AM

Finally, I managed to buy an 88 Turbo 5 speed. Near immaculate, inside and out. Runs pretty well. I'm loosing a lot of power by switching from my Camaro to the Supra, but whatevah.

Drilled front discs, 1 and a half inch lowered, after market suspension all around(cab adjustable, of course). Was even installed CORRECTLY. Nice tires and rims, though I'm not into the rims to much. They look expansive. But the tires are twerties.

Minor bolt ons. Most importantly, everything works. And no serious modifications. Which is perfect.

A coolant hose seems to have broken. Haha. But thats so petty and looks even easy to get to. Anyways, just thought I'd announce a triumphant buy.

Congratulations on your buy. How many miles is on it? What's a "twerty"? Finally, any coolant leak is more than a petty issue with this vehicle, take care of that fast.

Yeah, this isn't my first vehicle build up.

It looks like a heater hose, I'll know probably by the end of today for certain.

Do these cars come stock with 3 fans? I've never seen that, but it has one 17-18 inch fan up front, an electric fan, and an electric pusher fan. As soon as the coolant began leaking, the tempurature actually started dropping.

And my old car is a fully built 350 with a Super T-10 4 speed. If I sell it, as oppose to parting it out, it'll be in the range of $5-8k. And the interior sucks.

A twerty is a term beyond explanation, matey.

Bit of a street racer, I guess. I'm told they're fast. Delivering it home with a friend driving the Supra for the first time. I drop gears and make a scream from the twin pipes flowing down this pony's flanks and it takes off like it's tail's on fire. I look back when the Honda gets to its tap-out and the Supra's only two lengths behind. No one I've let ride my bike has told me its slow, they've all loved the thing. That car is a good thing indeed.
