Well, It didn't just fall in my backyard, but I took a train ride into Chicago and brought this baby back with me. I bought it for a work car to drive for the winter, but now that I see how sweet the body is, and completely rust free, I almost feel bad doing it. I think the body is better than the red rocket (for now). So......The future wife has been so cool about me working on and dumping money in the Supra that I got her one too, she's lovin' it. I will be driving it for the winter and fixing it up at work when I have nothing to do there. It needs auto trans rebuilt, oil leaks fixed, brake work, wheel bearing, got broken into so radio/shifter bezel, climate head, ash tray , etc. It makes 1psi of boost....w/g prob i think. Body and interior are very good. Its a hard top 88, tems, ABS, auto. I will post fixes /mods/pics along the way. First things first, it will be getting a CD player, and the sawblades removed. I always wanted a black one so I was pretty happy about the condition, esp. for having 228K on it.

Borhor, leather not perfect, but very good for 88 w/228k.

It is pretty clean, just needs some TLC

Hero, .....I see you went through a couple a340's when i was searching for posts......this one is real weird, it has the slip shifting 1-2 which ive seen plenty of times, but it shakes like a mother taking off from stop, and sometimes 1-2, mostly when cold, never seen that....unless it has an LSD problem also.

Nice find bro. There seems to me more and more supra's around the area latly. Also the shaking could possibly have something to do with the lsd. When cold my car used to shake a little bit so i just bought a used rearend and it has been good ever since, and its holding over 400hp.

I dont see too many with decent bodies on the road, i dont really see many MK3's at all, and no MK4's.

Today I was driving home and saw smoke spewing out the back, the v/c gaskets were leaking bad, I tightened the screws up, I will try and reseal them at work tomorrow if I get time. Trans is definitely bad, I saw a rebuild kit from a reputable seller on ebay for $208, think I will go that route. Maybe try the valve body mods on the sticky on SF. Anyone tried it?? Didnt get a chance to do much today, hopefully tomorrow.

When I do see one around, its usually a POS, Im hoping on some good weather this weekend, for a last chance at track w/ red rocket. I have some repairs to do on black beauty, then mods, maybe a 300HP car.

TODAY!.....got a new cd player installed, ordered a master overhaul kit for the transmission.
