My 88T

swarm · 09-25-2006, 10:01 PM

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.

Supra2NR · 10-03-2006, 04:32 PM

nice and clean,
did you buy it with all the upgardes already or you did it all urself?

swarm · 10-04-2006, 06:42 PM

The car already had the modifications on it when I took ownership of it.

I just realized i love your car. The red and smoked lightss goes so well. But ill be honest. Get new wheels! they kinda mess up the overall look. But it is a very very clean car...I wish mine was that nice.

Very cool lookin...

Do your brake lights still shine through the black stuff that you have put into the lens. I would like to get that done to me my '89 Supra...
