    '89 Turbo Supra build

    CCW's aren't in the budget right now. I've already spent more than I expected on random hardware, hoses, gaskets and stuff... Ended up ordering these: They were pretty cheap CCW replicas. I'll see how they work out. If I'm not happy with the quality I'll end up getting something else later.

    '89 Turbo Supra build

    Haha! Just googled that name to see who it was. That car is the reason I wanted the mesh style wheels. Didn't know the owner's name but I've seen the car all over the internet.

    '89 Turbo Supra build

    I've been looking at wheels, trying to figure out what I'm going to buy. I want 18's. I like the mesh-style wheels and there are tons of options out there. They look great on these cars and it seems like I couldn't go wrong with those. But... Then I found some bronze TSW Panoramas for a decent...

    '89 Turbo Supra build

    I just received some new suspension parts! I got KYB shocks/mounts and a set of H&R Springs. I also found a set of white mouldings in good condition on eBay so I bought those and cancelled the order from C7. Things are coming together slowly... I'm still waiting on some fuel and oil lines from...

    '89 Turbo Supra build

    I might! I really hate that I had to buy the things from C7, they're really expensive! There was one that's completely missing from the car though and a 2nd one is in pretty rough shape so I had to do something...

    '89 Turbo Supra build

    I haven't really decided yet. I wasn't sure exactly how rare the white package is and if people frown upon changing any of it. I'm not opposed to painting the mouldings gray though. I know I'm definitely replacing the white wheels...

    '89 Turbo Supra build

    Yeah I'd prefer gray but I'm just taking it one step at a time right now so getting it running and somewhat reliable is priority #1. Paint is definitely coming before any interior swap too!

    Hello! New to the Supra, not to Toyota...

    Hi Guys! My name is Joe. I've worked for a Toyota dealer for about 8 years now, I'm a Parts Manager. I've owned lots of Toyotas before but never a Supra. I currently have a supercharged 09 Tundra and a 04 4Runner V8 4WD. I recently got a great deal on a MK3 Supra and couldn't pass it up. It...

    '89 Turbo Supra build

    Umm.. thanks? Yeah, it's not very pretty but the body is straight as far as I can tell. Carfax shows it was in a small accident on the left front fender back in 1994 but everything looks to have been repaired properly. It will definitely need to be painted once I get it running. It's quickly...

    '89 Turbo Supra build

    Hi everyone. My name is Joe. I recently picked up a 1989 Turbo Supra that needed some work, thought I'd start a build log here. It's a "white edition" with burgundy interior and (unfortunately) automatic transmission. This is my first Supra but I'm a parts manager for a Toyota dealer so I'm...
