Seven years after I purchased my first Supra and started updating and rebuilding it, I am starting over on another Supra. The short story on the old car is that I screwed it up. The full build thread can be found here. To summarize my, I shimmed my oil pump too much and was blowing oil filters out on cold start. Something went wrong in my transmission that I didn't have reverse. Through a series of events the car ended up just collecting dust and getting pushed out of the way. Along the way I was offered a chance to pick up a 90 white body turbo car and I took it. Over the years I have collected parts that I have come across and have finally decided to do something with them besides put them in the spare room to collect dust.
So, right now the major part of this build-up is swapping all of the performance parts from the 87 chassis over to the 90 chassis. Then swapping all of the stock stuff from the 90 chassis to the 87 chassis. Tokiko blues, Eibach springs, ST sway bars, oil cooler and inter cooler and MAFT pro are all coming over to the new chassis. The 87 will be returned to a stock turbo car. So at the moment everything I am doing is happening twice. Last weekend I got the front suspension swapped around. This weekend is all focused on the rear end. Am also replacing all the brakes and steering rack on the 90 chassis while I am at all of this.
