I was down there with the BC DSM guys but i got a handfull of photos of supras at the track, all the photos I took are here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=465294&id=564865380&l=b3c12cbcb7 Some of them in hi-res can be found here...

lololol ok, but be forewarned! Not really work safe, and keep in mind it's a joke. Here is extreme advertising for a toyota supra: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4038/4684255759_a2c2f69ee8_b.jpg

looked like chocolate milk :p Good news though! It's done! ITS DONE! I'm into this car, just over $1000. I'm really curious to see how much i get for it! All the profits from selling it are going into my wagon. 1JZ swap, here i come! :D

got some bad news. The shop I sent the head to to get cleaned up says that the cams are severely warped. Time to start looking for a new head/motor.

dope! original turbo. well... valve covers off: turbo out! HEAD OFF WOOO oops lol: dope, i never realized how heavy these were haha TERBO! This is cool, still can see the crosshatching! diiiiiiiickkkss

oh, nevermind, i was looking at the number on the firewall, the doorjam and all the papers say Ma71, does the firewall just say chassis code or something? I dunno I'm a noob. It is an original turbo. looks like new inside though, still has the crosshatching(?) on the cylinder walls.

lol I'll have to pass on the $600 offer for now, I moved the supra into the garage and the cressida outside so I'll check the VIN when I start working on it tomorrow. I agree on the Maroon, ugly as sin. But it's in good shape so I'll deal haha. If you want to check out my cressida build you can...

as far as I can tell. Is there a way to check from the VIN? I know the tranny is not the original.

So I found this 89 supra on craigslist, The ad only said 1989 Toyota Supra, blown head gasket, best offer. Or something along those lines. So I send him an email asking if it's a manual (obviously thinking for a swap for my wagon) what kind of shape it was in etc etc and that if it was a 5...

Hey my name is Cole, I live up in sunny Canada. Kelowna BC to be more specific. For the past 4 months I've been rolling in my 1986 Toyota Cressida Station wagon: I've been planning on doing a 1jz swap to it, among other things... The other day I found an 89 Supra on...
