New to the supra world.

[Omoi]

Hi every one, my name is Williams I am 30YO and new to this whole supra universe. I always loved the toyota supras but, due to the price I was never able to buy one.
I ended up buying a 91 Nissan 240sx and swapped an Sr20det into it, fast forward a couple of years and last December a throttle body butterfly bolt
got fell off and into cylinder 4. Nothing mayor happen, it would have been a quick fix BUT, that was the best excuse I could have ran into. MUAHAHAHAHA!
Quick talk with the wife and an explanation on how this little screw "messed" the whole engine and now I would (Sad face) have to take out the Sr20 and replace it with
"Something else" A quick (long) explanation on how the 2JZ motor would greatly benefit US and how she would cream my seats when boost would hit...blah blah blah she was sold.

this is how I ended up here, ready to start the long journey to the streets.
So far what I have are:

-Motor
-Shell car
-Misc. parts...
Buying more parts as we speak.

Here are some pictures of the mess.
