blacks a good color, i always thought it looked dope on supra's... too bad its such a bitch to keep clean :(

plus black matches everything so ya dont have to fiddle around with making your mods match up with exterior.. what color do u have now?

burgandy... ugh... with burgandy leather interior.. double ugh.... interior is goin black over the summer

i might paint my stockers black. black wheels and white car look nice


here is photo shop done of it kinda ok to far away but looks kinda good

you will have to trun your gama up to see it better

What year is the supra in those linked pics? It's hard to tell without seeing the front grill.

Nashman NOOOO! hehe black wheels make white cars look like ghetto mobiles, or something Lam would drive :D

89+, look at the spoiler on the back, how it sorta curves into the body is one way to tell, the spoilers beforehand werent connected on the sides.

also around the wheel wells its a little more curved..


Enraged, i hear ya man.. burgundy gets annoying. we need a cheap fix that doesnt look horrible... i'll let you paint your interior before i try it, haha :)

ya, i need to get a security system, then the stereo goes in, and thats when ill start changin it over. ill have to get new seats though, and re-cover the rears, or at least dye them. ill put blue racing seats in the front.

Couldn't pickup my damn AVC-R yet maybe tmrw cause the guy who gave me the really good price wasn't working today!

DAMN!!!!

just rip out your back seats, thats what im doing

they arent much use.. unless you tend to drive around with a bunch of midgets in the back.

hehe that sux man, that looks like a dope boost controller. i doubt i'll get a electronic boost controller for awhile unless i get mad spikes under heavy boost.. who knows, gotta get my injectors in before i start thinking about high boost, im running about 9 psi now with just a few washers on wastegate and JMBC on the way (err so says suprasport, i ordered that damn thing in dec.) im hoping to go to about 18 lbs

yeah next paycheck is a lexus AFM!
I can't wait!

Then i'm gonna save up and get a complete engine rebuild heres what i'm getting:

JE forged pistons
Crower Billet rods
AEM cam gears
HKS stopper type metal head gasket
Stillen light weight flywheel
Total seal piston rings
RC 550cc injectors
ARP head bolts
ARP crank bolts
ARP connecting rod bolts
MSD DIS4 ignition module
walbro 255L/hr fuel pump

And there already on order HEHEHE

oops i red you post wroung yae the spioler does do that it like 3 pc

holy shite deathangel, that engine built up will be dangerous.

umm nope my boost gauge is still sitting in my ash tray, need some good weather so i can work on my car.. right now its just sitting.

Nashman are you polishing the stuff yourself? if so what are you using?

yup i am doing ti my self kinded fun too

who eles has air tools hehehe

yeah my engine is gonna be nuts i think i will tear it down after summer and have it down over the winter buy a beater carolla or something HEH;)

What would you guys say are the 4 mods you should do first on a supra (aside from repairing it if stuff is wrong, tuning it up, etc)?

The ones I had in mind where:
1) BOV
2) Exhaust
3) Intake
4) Lowering

And don't tell me "why don't you buy a car first", I've heard that enough lately.

;)

His pics are from the front, that's why...

The 86.5-88 have a crappy spoiler that looks like it was tacked onto the trunklid as an afterthought, and hideous taillights...

89+ have a nice wraparound 3--piece spoiler, and much more attractive taillights.

1) BOV!? Ricer. :P Blowoff valves sound cool, yes, but stock your performance won't be that impressive... Better to actually have a quick car with a BOV than just a stock 15 second car with a woosh between shifts...

Real list should be:

1) Metal Headgasket!
2) Downpipe (could be custom jobby with full exhaust)
3) Exhaust
4) Intake
5) Boost gauge
6) Boost controller
7) EGT or AF gauge

"1) BOV!? Ricer. :P Blowoff valves sound cool, yes, but stock your performance won't be that impressive... Better to actually have a quick car with a BOV than just a stock 15 second car with a woosh between shifts... "

HEY!

main reason i got my HKS SSSBOV was becuase my stocker was broken, and i was planning to upgrade later on anyways, so i figured, why not? it wont hurt anything. and its a bit intimidating to people too hehe

heres my current stages:
1) boost gauge (stocker is crap)
2) bov
3) downpipe and full "offroad" exhaust, no cats, 3" mandrel bent
4) intake

also will be doing these over the summer i hope: complete hardpipes, electronic boost controller, upgraded IC, MHG and ARP bolts, lexus afm and 550s and S-AFC maybe.

How much should a good metal head gasket run, installed?

The HKS ones are about US$350-550, but that's just parts.

SupraSport.com (excellent MKIII e-tailer btw) has the HKS 1.2mm MHG's for $135 usd.

https://www.suprasport.com/~admin15/...products_id/66

machining will probably be a few hundred bux, then you've gotta deal with the rip down and tear apart of your engine.. could run over a grand fairly easy, unless you want to try to do it yourself. you should get ARP head bolts at the same time to keep the head tightened down, then you can run higher boost without fearing a BHG.

this's how id go about doing the mods in order..

1) HKS MHG / Arp Bolts
2) 3" catback & Downpipe
3) K&N FIPK
4) boost controller (running 11psi)
5) boost / EGT Gauges
6) decent lowering springs and struts, specially if you plan to put on bigger wheels.

you really dont need the BOV.. thats just for fun, id spend the money on other stuff first.


PS -- ive heard of people just ripping the top off of stock BOV's that dont vent to the atmosphere, would this work in a supra? this guy with a DSM did it and i guess it was loud as hell!

Nice mod list... Similar to my mothers bf's (can't wait till I buy it... Can't put my car up for sale until I replace the stereo... grrrr)

i did all my modding in a rather strange order, but all in all it worked out fairly well....

1) 17" kosei wheels w/ yokohama rubber
2) 3" catback
3) brembo brake rotors
4) K&N FIPK
5) RT Downpipe
6) head gasket started leaking.... got HKS MHG / ARP Bolts
7) H&R Lowering springs
8) Cusco Strut bar
9) Lexus AFM
10) HKS SSBOV
11) Spearco I/C
12) Boost/EGT gauges
13) MKIV Fuel Pump
14) Rc 550's (not installed yet)
15) Greddy 20g turbo hopefully to be in mail sometime soon...

and shite, im not even using a boost controller yet, just a few washers on wastegate..... hehe time to raise up the boost!

do you guys think i can get away with the MKIV Fuel pump and 550's for now without a FPR? that Duane dude in vancouver said his stock FPR blew wide open when he did this... so he had to get a paxton FPR. im gonna try and find a cheaper alternative to the paxton, any ideas?

From what I've read you don't have to upgrade the FPR... I'd probably just wait until it broke, like Duane.

the fule persure regularter it must when useing high boost
