Well its been a long ride. I dont even know where to start. Well here it goes...

Once upon a time, there was a Supra that was heading for the carwash. My dad spotted it up north from me and knew exactly what it was. It was something I had always dreamed of. He pulled the guy over and offered to buy the car from him. We ended up buying it a week later. I was all excited because it was my first car and it was also my favourite car. (my dad is building a cottage up north, this is for the future of this story) My dad has a business partner to help build my cottage. So basically he knows a guy in the area who would help fix the power steering leak and some break issues. Those issues were fixed and were sitting at the shop for a while because my dad was too lazy to pick it up. So, my dads business partner decides to take it to his place. Here is where my dream turns into a nightmare, he took my car and my dads boat ransom for money which he will never get, the cops got involved and now I have my car. He enjoyed the doughnuts and burnouts he did in it because now my clutch is blown. There is a 4 foot long key scratch on the passenger side and massive scuff marks on the rear bumper.

I have a few questions if you guys dont mind. I have gone through a rough 10 months and I just want to get it fixed as soon as possible.

#1 What is the best clutch to get that will support between 350-450? I am guessing a Spec 3, is this what everyone is getting? I am very car illiterate and I just want my car to run knowing my clutch wont blow out the day I get it.

#2 How much money could I get for my sound system? (See bottom of post)

#3 #3 The previous owner said there is an MBC in the engine bay. I can't find it, where should I look?

Here are the pictures I took today. I will take more tomorrow. There is rust and ripped seats and all kinds of nonsense.

I am selling my entire sound system. It is still in the car, I will get pictures of that tomorrow. What I have if I can remember correctly is this:

- 2 15" Solo Barics Subwoofers (Set in an enclosure)
- Pheonix Gold Amp
- Rockford Fosgate Amp 400watts
- Alpine Deck (sattelite radio compatibility)
- Alpine 6CD changer
- Some power surge thingy, the lighting ones
- A set of tweeters

How much can I get for a setup like this?

nice looking Supra, to bad you had to go through all that trouble with it though.
As far as Clutches, i have an XTD stage 3 clutch and their lightweight FW, i got it off Ebay for cheap! course, most of the guys on these boards dont like stuff from Ebay, soooo, maybe go with the Spec Stage 3. Check the parts review section.
Check underneath the IC piping coming off the 3000 pipe, under that horribly installed aftermarket BOV... it should be in that region.

wa.
wow that is really really nice. i usually dont go for hte pre 89's but that is a really clean car.

lose the monster tach if you dont need it
and if your looking for the mbc try looking underneath your accordian hose. there is a vacuum line that runs from the turbo outlet to your wastegate, look under there and look for any thing/or line that is tapped into the wg. follow it until you find your mbc.

more engine shots piz.

I have more great news. My turbo is WASTED!!!!! I pulled the accordian and IC pipes today to take a look at the turbine and here is what I found.

How do I know if it is upgraded or not? I was told it was a 60trim, but it might be a 57.

Paint looks clean. IHI is right, you need to come up with a better method for mounting you BOV. And as always, Allan & IJ are being fuggers.:biglaugh:

The paint is actually really crappy, the car was just wet when I took the pics. I ordered a full set of cooleeze IC pipes with an HKS SSQV BOV, so that gets rid of the shitty bov problem.
