My Car! 1988 Toyota Supra Turbo Targa 5-speed

[Goodspeed]

Update: I know there were some mumblings about black wheels on the car...well, a teaser:



DJ suggested putting on two of his Evo wheels w/Hoosiers to see how black wheels would look, and I'm sold. I absolutely loved the look, I think it makes the car look 10x meaner and more aggressive. I know, I know...theres a metric assload of wheel gap and hopefully that will be resolved in the future. Can you see how happy I am?



Well, I've gotten completely used to the car by now, the clutch and all, so I guess I can go ahead and list some future plans I've had floating around in my head. I won't say I have the technical skills to complete it all on my own but I'm itching to really get working on this car now that I have no reservations about driving it and to learn as much as I can.

Anyways, future plans:

Modify driver
Wideband
Alarm/turbo timer
Tokico Illumina's (TEMS compatible) w/ Eibachs
Repaint rear bumper cover, came to me with some spider web cracking in the paint
Some sort of audio system
Short shifter - very expensive for these cars
Intercooler - stock one is horrible on the MK3

I guess I could go way into the future and talk about upgraded fuel and a larger turbo setup etc etc but thats just a dream right now. I'd like to maintain the quality of the car first and foremost really. I'd also like to try my hand on the quarter mile just for fun.

Oh, and tucked away in the glovebox was an envolope that had the original dealer's name on it (Checkered Flag Toyota in Va Beach). Well, I kept saying I'd look in it but never got around to it, I finally did today only to find the original window sticker, complete with even more documentation on the car. It just gets better every day

Speaking of this car's history, here's a few videos of my exact car back in the day when the previous owner (Gus) purchased it, he had barely modded it at MIR. Lots of missed gears according to him, but the second link shows him chasing down a BMW :twisted:
