Hello SupraMania. My name is Skylar, I'm from Boise in the wonderful state of potatoes.
I've beme if using the site for a few weeks now to research a but about the Supra I just acquired. I thought this would be a good time to introduce myself before I started making posts of my own.
Anyway, I recently bought my first Supra (1989 White Supra Turbo) which seems to be giving me a bit of issues that I have to work through but am very happy to do so.

The car is beautiful and more than I could ask for. Being new to the Supra community I bought the car without really knowing what was going on with it. The previous owners seemed to be somewhat incompetent with motorized vehicles all together. The car had been sitting under a cover for almost a year without being touched. The outside was pretty so I said, "what the hey! It couldn't cost too much to get this kitty purring.
After getting the car home and doing some recon I came to find d that the owners before the last were running much more boost than the stock vehicle can handle and fried pretty much... Everything.
As of now I'm planning on swapping the engine out for another 7m. And to all those who would say " Throw a 2j in there!" no thank you. As of right now it would be too much money and I'm not really looking to make over 500 horses with the car.
I should be able to order the new engine in about a week or so and am very excited for the swap. The ordering from Tiger Japanese. I've read that they are fairly good and reliable... Correct me if I'm wrong.
Again I am new to the Supra community so constructive criticism is always welcome.
