Well, little bit about myself. I am not new to the import car scene. I own a 1998 Subaru Impreza RS that makes ~560whp on 93pump gas at 21psi of boost. Its been my play toy for the past 5 years.

So, new project that brought me to this board and supraforums as well.

Red 1991 MK3 Supra turbo (automatic - EWWW!) with shadow grey interior.
chassis has 89k miles on it. Bought the car off a old lady whose son used to own it and he took the head off the car and let it sit in a field for the past 4 years. I paid $500 bucks for the car "which i thought was a decent price". I know the car is far from perfect, but i plan on restoring and building the car up in the vision that i have for MK3 supra's.

-Things i have purchased for the car so far but not installed.

94 2JZGTE longblock (has bad head)
1JZGTE head and intake manifold
Supertech Dual Valvesprings and Retainers
dual Bosch 044 fuel pumps
720cc injectors (came free with the 2jz)
5spd pedal conversion pieces
R154 transmission out of a 1991 supra
Marlin Crawler Billet Shift Fork
Marlin Crawler Bearing Retainer
Marlin Crawler Thrust Washer
Spare 3.73 LSD rear end (in case i break mine :D )
full 1jz gasket kit
ARP head studs
ARP rod bolts
ARP main studs
Cam gears

-Future purchases

Precision Turbo Billet 67mm turbo or Borg Warner 72mm (haven't decided yet)
Haltech PS2000 EMS
Brian Crower 272 cams for 1jz
exhaust manifold
coilovers (need help finding a good brand)
custom 4" exhaust
Spec Super-Twin clutch
new interior pieces to make mine back to mint condition
Custom made Intercooler and piping
Tial BOV
Tial 44mm wastegate

Im sure im missing a few parts, but thats the basic run down in the direction im leaning towards the car

Please make any comments or suggestions for my new project. Oh, and this is my first RWD car i've ever driven (once it gets on the road).

SO WISH ME LUCK!

Thanks for reading,

-Thomas
