My 88T

1988 Toyota Supra
Pics are at www.spokanespeed.net/supra

126k Mles, Targa Top

Current Mods:

SP-58-GT Turbo
Apexi TT
Apexi SAFC
Apexi Intake
TurboXS RFL
Walbro 255
ST Sway Bars
Defcon 3" TurboBack
Momo Wheels
Autometer Boost & Air/Fuel Gauges

Next Mods?
I'm not too sure, I am thinking Lexus AFM+550's or a MAFT-PRO setup.

Problems? This car overheats a lot. I can usually keep it from overheating by getting out of the throttle and coasting in a gear for a few seconds then get back into the throttle slightly and the temps come down.

Heater does not work properly unless I zip-tie the heater valve open. Bah

Price Paid:
Traded a NON-RUNNING '91 Eclipse GSX www.spokanespeed.net/eclipse for this Supra.

What do you think?

I think it's a fun car.

Its really nice. It makes me want to look at my car.

Thanks. Just topped the coolant off because it keeps overheating and losing coolant. I fear a BHG. Maybe I will go back to DSMs sooner than I thought.

Is the sp-58gt really a bolt on turbo? and what trim/ ar is it available in? and like hp/flow numers etc. And on topic... Sound like a nice list of mods. Get some pictures haha.

Yeah I got the car like that - I have an appointment to have that tip cut off on Thursday and to just put some sort of stainless 3in pipe back there. It currently has defcon 3in turboback with just a cherry bomb.
