Here's the deal. I can buy a MKIII turbo automatic shell for $400 no engine or tranny (I like MKIII body style better than the MKIV). I can also buy a 2JZGTE with auto tranny, ecu, wiring harness, fuel rail, and some other things for $2100. Would it be worth my time and money to install the 2J...

I was wondering what did you use to prep your car for paint? I am going to be painting an all trac celica during spring break and wanted to know what sort of equipment or methods you used for sanding and prepping your supra for paint? Any brand names of items you used would be greatly appreciated!

cool, what color you thinking of painting it?

Lets get an update.

You definitely have a beautiful supra. keep making it cleaner and better and better, even though it is already gorgeous. Love the teal.

Subscribed, this is going to be one cool build. I can't wait for the day to come to do my own build. My dad and I are building a 1988 celica all trac turbo. Good luck on this build, you'll love the process!

Where are you going to mount the alternator after you install the intercooler pipping?

I am not on AZSupraCentral. I would say keep working on what ever you can, come interior stuff can easily be done without much cost, but parts are all about having money. How would i join AZSupraCentral?

This build is great, I am located in Precott, AZ so it is cool knowing someone in the vacinity is soing a build. Keep it up it looks great so far.

I would rather not try and do a swap, no time or money for that. Pretty much what is a 7m-gte capable of hp wise? I won't go crazy high but could it stand up to 400hp max (meaning 300hp range for a daily driver) with an auto tranny off a turbo car or would it have be be given a R154, because W58...

:1zhelp:Alright, I have been reading alot and would like to know why some people completely prefer the JZ engines over the 7M's? Also, what are all the engine choices out there, these are the ones i know something about: auto/manual 7M-GE/7M-GTE 1.5JZ ??? NO NOTHING ABOUT auto/manual...

Awesome, thanks!

I know that TEMS is an electronically controlled suspension that changes the setting of the shocks. I was just curious if TEMS was noticeably nicer on a stock supra than if the supra didn't have it and you answered that, so thanks. Also, thanks for answering if i could buy aftermarket shocks...

Thanks for the info! GREATLY appreciated!

I have a question about TEMS? I have searched the forums and can't find much. Is there an advantage of having TEMS vs. not having it. Also, can you buy replacement springs for your TEMS or can you not change the shocks?
