Make plans now for TX2K9 in March. I'd love to have 5-6 Mobile area Supras there. Look in the introductions section for Justin87. He's got a really nice looking white 91 in Mobile.

We gotta get him, James, Bill, and Richard to get in here.

Scott, you are making me feel bad for buying it. LOL Jessie keeps it looking pretty good. She is always washing it and putting the soul glow on the tires. However, the paint is finally starting to show it's age. We want to get it painted soon, but I would rather put money and time into the motor. It needs work and parts, but I need $$$$. Marshalls Paint and Body in Mobile painted April's Talon and did a pretty nice job on it, so we may get them to paint the Supra when the $$$$ comes. Haven't decided on color(s) yet! It won't be black, that is for sure. We had all kinds of plans for it this year, but we lost the spare car we wanted to use for her daily driver.

This car is a beast!

No comments about the Neon please, Tony is a great guy, and that's a pretty damn fast neon. Those are the two cars that were present when my grey car went down.

Bill, you should hang out here a little more often. The MKIV section is growing. And your 2J knowledge would be helpful as there are becoming many more 2J MKIII's. You should also post a pic of the SC.

[suprahero]

Great looking car Bill. I"m glad you posted up some pictures of it. You can post up some of the track videos if you have some as well. Maybe post them up in another thread though if you want too.

[03bamaGT]

Good looking Supra Bill.

[blksupratt]

yeah the neon that me and james "didn't" build, lol. thanks for the comments guys. here are a couple of videos, I should have some new ones this weekend hopefully with some 6.2x-6.1x times and over 100mph, we shall see.

[suprahero]

Those are some impressive times. My car isn't much on the dragstrip at all. Automatics are definately FTW when it comes to racing and everyday driving. I wish I had a good th350 in mine with a set of 3.5gears for the higher rpms. That's what I will end up going with some day and then maybe I can make a ten second pass. I think my car will make enough power to do that, but I doubt I ever get the five speed to hook up good enough. We'll see one day though.

[03bamaGT]

Those are some great vids Bill.

Jay, if you get sticky enough tires and are confident in your clutch then you could get into the 10s easy. Although a TH would be a lot easier.

Sorry about the double entry. Had a time figuring out how to post a pic.
No, this car hasn't been to Steele. It hasn't really been anywhere other than Anniston a few times and Walker Dyno a couple of times. I keep it in some stage of disassembly most of the time. I did the ebay twin turbo upgrade before it got out that they were garbage. I'm trying to get the single up and running, but am having some plumbing problems, as in I'm not sure what to do with a couple of hoses. I'm hoping to hit the forum when I can and talk to some of you guys in the know.
I also have a bunch of twin stuff I want to get rid of reasonably cheap.
I'm out for a couple of days, but will check in this weekend. Thanks for the compliment, but don't look too close, I painted the car myself, and it was my first paint job

[suprahero]

Hey Pat, I'm glad you got signed in. How's the 1jz going?

Chaz, very cool looking car. I can't wait for our next supra meet. We've got a lot more supras around here than I thought. We have about as any other place I've seen except for Cali and Florida, but if we all show up, our meets can be bigger than theirs.
We'll definately plan on a big one come spring time.

[SupraNBama]

we need to grab racerxj220 next time he comes in town for a couple of weeks

[Chaz]

Hey Jay,
Who did your interior? Very nice. I haven't done anything with mine,but
its in pretty good shape. My dash got a canyon size crack in it over the
summer. Have you heard anything on a dash kit for the Supra?
I am amazed at the Supra's around here. I thought I was alone.
Here's a pic of the single upgrade project

Very impressive Bill.................:bowdown:

at mobile, it moved around a lot off the line but still did a 1.49 60ft. I have to get a helmet before I can run again, but so far I am only .04 off of jons (orange 280z with an rb25 and a lot of NOS) time and he is the quickest around here. I am trying to beat his time with no nitrous then I will be going after my goal of running a 5.xx with a new turbo starting next year.

hey jay your buddy that stayed with you before the steel meet, what is his name on the forums ? i was talkiing to him at the meet and he wanted to buy my rear seats . ive found a set of 92 shadow grey seats for the rearof my supra and i wanted to give him first dibs.

[bhmsupra]

Chuck - Not sure where Jay is this morning. Last I heard, he was at the gun counter store an assault weapon. I will answer in his absense. His name is ForcedTorque. His name is Scott. He will be glad of the news.

[suprahero]

Thanks Patrick. Deadcell also stayed with me and I don't know which one of them talked with Chuck. If it was Forcedtorque, his name is Scott. Good luck.

[ForcedTorque]

Yes, That was me! PM me a price on those seats. I only need the top halves, and that would be easier to ship as well. But, I would take consider it all if need be.

Good to see you on the boards. You should hang around a bit. You car is beautiful!:aigo:!:aigo:!:aigo:

hey guys hope you had a good thanksgiving. gotta stop eatin so much. update on the supra i installed a lower mile lsd in last weekend by myself with a 3'' exhaust in the way. the exhaust guy welded the hanger on both ends . i guess he doesn't think its ever going to need to be removed. it was a pain . im installing a new steering rack tomarrow i think my driveway will love me for it. i also need to install a bumper duct but im scared to mess up my new paint . anybody have any tips? hey andy welcome to the hood.

[suprahero]

Are you installing a turbo A duct like my car has? If so, I hope yours fits better than mine. I had to have mine fiberglass'd in because it wouldn't look right any other way. Good luck with that powersteering rack, it can be a pita. As for the rearend, me and Ricky changed mine in 29 minutes last time and that included jacking the car up and taking the old one out..........it wasn't our first time though, since this was my third different rear end.

Nice Golf Cart, needs some camo paint though.

[dogdrake]

close thats a 67 gto it used to be my fathers before he passed. he gave it to me 13 years ago id work on it but dont have the room and the supra takes up most of my extra funds. but one day it will be a nice ride . it has a 455ho from a 71 judge . just needs paint and a little body work.:icon_bigghttp://i383.photobucket.com/albums/oo276/dogdrake/102_0666.jpg

Nice of you to join us Philly. I absolutely love your seats. When warmer weather gets here, we should have a really nice "car" meet. Not necessarily a supra meet, but a get together of some cool people. I can't wait.

[dogdrake]

nice paint slick :love:i love black but hate the swirl marks

[03bamaGT]

Yea...a "car meet" would be nice...haha.

And then there was one among many haha.

[suprahero]

Your on our turf now greaser!!!!!!!

We've got three more of us in the backseat!

Pity the backseat!!!!!

[labrat469]

Ok that's it! No more "The Outsiders" references.

[suprahero]

Very good Labrat.........although when I first started to post it, it wasn't going to be a quote from "The Outsiders", that's why I said greasers, when it was actually a greaser that said Pity the back seat. It was the very famous Emilio Esteves. I read the book when I was in the seventh grade by S.E. Hinton. I later read Rumble Fish and the movie starred Matt Dillon and Mickey Rourke........sorry for the tangent.

[labrat469]

Another good book was "That was Then, This is Now". If you like that book you might want to read "Tuned Out" By Maia Wojciechowska

[suprahero]

I just googled it and I never knew it existed. I'll have to check it out. Thanks.

[labrat469]

LOL .... now book referrals.... we are a strange lot....

[suprahero]

If word gets out that some of the people in Alabama can read, then we got some splaining to do.

[labrat469]

True. It would be hard to explain how I can read when I went to Chicago public schools and somehow through a twist of fate ended up in Alabama. But I can blame to U of A for having a bad influence on me.

The three "R"'s in my school were Running for Cover, Returning fire, and Reloading quickly.

[03bamaGT]

Haha...sorry Jay...hopefully you get to 100% soon.

[suprahero]

It won't be soon, but I"m hoping to get there by spring time anyways. It doesn't bother me right now. With the cold like it is, for some reason, everytime I get on it, the tires are breaking loose, so I've been kinda babying it for a while. When the warmer weather and warmer roads get here, I'll want more power. Thanks.

[03bamaGT]

I am having the same problem with my tires...1st and 2nd rolls are out of the picture.

[bhmsupra]

Same probs here, believe it or not.....
Got caught in the apex of a "yellow light" intersection yesterday morning, dumped it and the rear end completely stepped out, it's never done that. I am sure everyone sitting at the light was looking at me like was some idiot that doesn't know how to drive....
wait a minute........ I am an idiot that doesn't know how to drive.
And unfortunately, this morning in Shelby County Traffic Court, Judge Johnson didn't think my behavior qualified for driving school either so he busted my ass instead.

All in favor of driving down to Shelby county and giving Judge Johnson an old fashioned beat down say I.....................silence


Sorry Patrick, but I tried.

[bhmsupra]

Jay - You get an "A" for effort. I'l take my medicine, it could have been much worse had I lived in California and they crushed and shreaded my car.
In light of yesterday's events, it is funny how I found myself looking at the Big Brake Kit instead of the Upgraded Turbo. My subconscious usually drives about 50% of my behavior.

There are rumblings over on SF of an Alabama meet on Dec 13 not sure how much traction they are getting though but I am "IN". No real details as of yet.

Selling a Supra for a Celica?!?!:aigo: Go to your room until common Supra sense returns!!:3d_frown:

[dirtlord420]

just found out the guy doesnt have the title in his name. i did some searching and hes owned it sence june or aug . doesnt make sence why he dosnt have the title in his name. plus its a tn title and that can be a pain. anyway keeping the supra. what would summer be like without the taga. got to give them somthing to hate on. how much do you think it would cost to have my block decked? i want everything eles inspected. i need to build my 7m swap for my 85. also does anyone know where i can find a 85 oil pan? there kinda hard to find.

[suprahero]

DL, I may can find you one. I have an 83 sitting out here in a field by my house that used to be mine. It now belongs to a friend of mine, but I can probably get the oil pan off of it if you need one.

[darkspeed]

I think he's looking for an '85 pan specifically. They're deeper I believe

[dirtlord420]

^^^yeah need the 85 its has the fitting for a 7m swap to hook up the turbo. i have a 84 that i might modify. looked at the celica it was junk. i get there the car was just sitting there idling with the hood closed. witch was really strange. am sure he was trying to hide somthing.

[labrat469]

If you're in the Tuscaloosa area then call Morgan's machine shop to get your block decked. He did all of the machine work on my 7MGE and I have had no problems with his work. My motor was messed up from the start with pitting and warpage. But after he was done the block and head were good to go.

Head milled .020 and block decked .002. My motor is running a higher CR but hey NA motors love high CR.

Welcome Brent.......what made you get rid of the black supra? It looked pretty good with those black wheels.

[BlackDynamite]

well i got rid of the wheels and there was a guy at my work that wanted it really badly. It was automatic, Na, and Targa...which equaled slow. But it made up for it by having 49,000 miles on engine and a new black paint job. The engine had BHG and a spun bearing. I rebuilt it, check sig, and dumped some money into it. Had a nice stereo in it already put in etc.

i bought for 1300$ broke and dumped in 1700$.

I sold it for what i had in it. It was also my first rebuild.

Made the mistake of putting in a 7m crank for durability but made it slower revving... :[

do ya have some detination goin on? or are ya wantin to keep the hp numbers high on the pump gas? i seen where you replyed in the crower gb u lookin to upgrade? you have 272s ,you upgrading to the 280 or the large core?also are the small core 272s the same spec as the new design 264s. id like to upgrade but i dont know if i should spent my money on a e-manage ultimate it would probably net the same hp as the264s.what do you think.

[suprahero]

I have the ones equivalent to the 264's that he's selling now. They give you a little bit of lag early and then more than up for it on the top end.

I don't know anything about the emanage but anytime you can control your timing, you'll gain a little bit of horsepower.

I'm running the meth kit so I can run more boost and more timing without blowing up.........hopefully.

I should be able to run about 550rwhp safely on 93octane.

550 h.p daily driver. You'll probably get decent MPG, too. I appreaciate you gettin Blake Walkers number to me, but I wished I went to the guy in b'ham. What's his name, Mullins?
Blake's a flake. He told me to call him when I got to town and he would give me directions to his new shop. He wouldn't answer his phone. i ENDED UP DRIVING 4 1/2 HOURS FOR NOTHING AND HE NEVER EVEN CALLED TO APOLOGISE. Even worse, on the way back, I pulled into a gas station and hit a pile of dirt some idiot pushed up while grading (it was dark) and just about desrtroyed my front body kit that I had just fixed and put back on.
I shouldn't be to hard on him. I guess he could be dead and then I would really feel bad

Did you have an appointment set up with him? That's not like him at all to miss an appointment. Sometimes he doesn't answer his phone, but everytime I've set a time and date to be there, he was there. I hate you had such bad luck with him. There's a great guy in Sylacauga named Eric Hux. He's twice as expensive as Blake, but he seems to know what he's doing.

[darkspeed]

Blake isn't the type of guy to stand by the phone. He stays busy, so make sure you lock in a time slot, and he should deliver. He always met my needs

[Chaz]

Made the appointment the week before. He called me and we set it up after I left a message (Wednesday at 430). Like I said, he said to call him when I got to Trussville. I tried from 3pm to 430 pm, but his message box was full. I went to his old shop and asked the guys there if they knew where he was but the directions they gave me were wrong. Just seems to me a guy should have a land line if he has a business. But thats just me. Blake did a good job the last two times I went to him. He did stay on his cell phone most of the time, but didn't charge me for the time he wasn't working.
The guys that gave me the bogus directions told me his phone didn't work too good at the new location, but Blake did know I was coming and told me to call him.
But you know, it's done and I'm not going to worry with it. I was more pissed with the damage done to my car on the way back.
But you may want to tell Blake that the guy in Bham is getting several of his customers(according to him) because they either can't get in touch with him or figured he was out of business. That guys Dyno is down, but should be fixed in a couple of weeks
Blake seemed to be a good guy, but I won't go back.

Hey all!

Can anyone tell me of any junk yards near-ish Auburn AL that have some mk3 cars and or parts? :aigo:

Also, I know this is a loaded question...but, about how much is a '87 NA auto with a BHG worth? Apparently is has a straight body and little of no rust. It is silver (oxidized) with maroon leather (cracked rear seats). I have not seen it but I trust the guy's word. I want it mainly for the rear sub-frame, gas tank, and diff. Any rough ideas?

Thanks!

[darkspeed]

$500

as for junkyards, Pull-a-part always has a few mkiii's ready for the picking. Montgomery and Bham; choose wisely

[labrat469]

I paid 600 for my 88 NA w/manual, BHG, rod knock and a crappy interior. It all depends on how much the car is worth paying for. I've seen cars in worse shape than mine going for 750+

[dirtlord420]

being an auto i would say 400. no telling whateles your going to run in to. with a blowen head gasket i would say it would be better off being fully rebuilt. it really all depends on how much money and time you have. parts add up fast, and being a supra it doesnt like cheap parts.

[Nalleywhacker]

Hey guys iam not in Alabama but you guys seem more fun then the tenn guys lol i drive a 90 targa 1jz car its stock for now, you guys have very many get togethers? Id like to get to know somemore supra guys and noone in tenn seems to ever get a meet going.

[dirtlord420]

mines almost done. am about 45 min from chatt. sad thing is tho works not looking great and i got three supras to sell. might park the 85 tho. so i might have to move. but then again i might be back to work in 3-4 weeks. either way the n/a has to go. to fund the 85. you ever head to south pitsburg? chatt is just to far for me and i dont really like the city. huntsville would be a good place.

[dirtlord420]

its right at the tenn, and alabama line. let me get my supra put back togather first. i never driven this car, but the motor is out of my old one so i know thats good.

[88project]

What's up Alabama people? I just bought another Supra after not having one for about 5 years. Anyone in the Florence area or even North Alabama? I'm in Killen. I saw a couple of you are from Huntsville.

[dirtlord420]

i was out there working in rogersville. that area out there is dead. lucky for me the place shut down, and they sent me home.

What were you doing in Rogersville?(I hate Rogersville. Nothing but a speedtrap.) Yeah, Mustangs are the sportscar of choice around here. That's my daily driver also. But I love and prefer my Toyotas too.

[suprahero]

I live about fourty five minutes south of Cullman.

[dogdrake]

im from the gadsden area where is killen havent heard of that town.

[88project]

Yeah, I've been through Cullman many times. Killen is on HWY 72 just east of Florence by a couple miles. If you're not familiar with Florence, it's in the far northwest corner of the state right on the Tennessee River.

i was working at moss hardwoods. i live in that shity motel for six weeks. the people in that town are real shady too. i always had this feeling like i was going to get robbed out there. if they ever start back up i'll end up back there again, but am bring my gun. i also worked in gurly east of huntsville thats a bad speed trap.

I have been wanting to try and get the local Tuscaloosa car guys together for a meet and greet. Decided to take some initiative and set a date and place for a get together.

time: 5.00
place: sonic off skyland

Would love to have as many guys show up as possible. Post or pm me if you are going to come. All cars are welcome to come and you are more than welcome to bring youre friends.

[labrat469]

I'll have to see if I can make it. I'll probably have to work until 6pm. If there are too many people we could always meet in the Book-A-Million parking lot across the street. In the side lot that faces the corner of Skyland and McFarland

[brad horton]

well i just got kicked out. i cant work on cars here any more, or even store my parts here. all over some osha b.s. i got 30 days to move all my stuff. i've now got two supras with out homes or a place to park. thing is i live at work. the mill shut down and no sings of me going back to work. i feel like tell that old bitch to fuck off. i dont know if they expect me to stick around and wait to go back to work or what.

[suprahero]

DL, that sucks big time. Good luck with all of that. I wish you the best.


SnBama, good looking car. I've never owned a honda, but they seem pretty reliable.

Bubba, congrats on the win. Do you have any pictures you can share with us?

Brad, I love that body style cougar. They looked good in the later sixties before they became land sharks.

[dirtlord420]

dont know if am going to stop with the supras, or just park them. i really want to hang on to my 85. its so close to being done, but i got to move. i dont know if this is against the rules but you can check it out here. http://forums.celicasupra.com/showthread.php?t=46264

I hate to see you have to get rid of them. That's a great deal for all of the stuff you're selling with it. Unfortunately, the economy isn't allowing for any more projects. I really want a good MKII, but I'm scared to spend any money on another money pit.

[ForcedTorque]

If I had the money to buy that car.............






























I'd be headed to TX2K9. But if I got the money again, I'd definitely be coming to get it. I'd love to have that car.

I'm checking in. I'm also back for good ;) Hope to see some of you guys around once I get on of my cars up.

Peace!

Not sure if I have introduced myself on here or not, but my name is Richard. I am from Mobile, AL. I drive a 93.5 TT supra. Right now it's down getting a built engine. The one currently in the car has a very slight rod knock. The car has basic mods like. eibach springs, RMM wing, cut MVP front lip, painted headlights, 18" ruff racing wheels, greddy 3 row, FMIC, donwpipe, gt spec catback and etc. My plans were to do the 6 speed swap here soon but my engine failed so I had to dip into my 6 speed funds. So for the time being I would really like to do a R154 swap. The auto is killing me lol. so if any of you guys have an r154 parts laying around let me know. Mainly looking for, R154, 1jz flywheel and bell housing, aftermarket clutch for R154, and MKIV pedal assembly

He parked close to where they pull the cars out of the paint booth one day. Is the paint still wet? No Does it look as good as the pictures make it look? Yes it does!

I stopped by the shop just after he got it. My jaw dropped for a bit before the airspace radar alerted him that someone was close. He came out and pointed out a flaw or two, but I doubt he'd be painting this beauty if he didn't work in a body shop.

[dogdrake]

ANY meets anytime soon ? Its starting to warm up. I up for a meet at steel one weekend.

[labrat469]

I'm up for any Tuscaloosa meets. Last time I heard on ARS they were trying to get something going after spring break. I'm still replacing parts on my money-pit and I'm afraid if my car goes beyond the city limits it will break down. I replaced the power steering high pressure hose only to blow the seals in the rack.

Somehow the car knows I have money in the bank and it wants me to spend it all on repairs. And I thought my last high maintenance g/f was expensive.....

[dogdrake]

One of the great things about owning a 20+ year old car .My car is nearly new ,I have replaced everthing ,motor, trans,clutch,clutch master and slave, power steering rack,tierod ends ,wheel bearings,tems shocks, radiator,carpet ,dash,doorpanels,seats,targa seals,fp,exhaust,brake calipers,windshield,the list goes on and on.

any of you guys interested in some stock MKIV chrome TT wheels with tires for $450 picked up. The chrome is in rough shape but the tires are practically brand new except for one. It has inner camber ware. Here are some pics. 255/40/17 and 235/45/17. I planned on sand blasting them and painting them bright silver or black/polished lip. If i do that, the price will go to $575
