    1988 Tom's C5 Supra

    Very cool pics! Yeah it's crazy that so little is known about this C5 Supra. I wonder how many were sold and what the price was? C5 Supra and C5 Soarer would be one rare car to own! Hell I'd be happy if I could at least get some detailed pictures and a scan of a freaking brochure!

    New Turbo-A in CA

    Don't know what happened to the original saw blades but I have one saw blade (the spare tire)! I'm always stalking the internet looking for a set... But that's gonna be hard to find. The door stickers I have and I'm waiting to respray the car to put them on. I am going to keep it as stock as...

    1988 Tom's C5 Supra

    I'm pretty sure it was an '88? Says so on the Tom's website: http://www.tomsracing.co.jp/global/e/history/index.html

    1988 Tom's C5 Supra

    I found this... This guy was linked on the Facebook Turbo-A page, and apparently he has a Toms C5 and apparently this is the rear end of it. This looks different from the first 2 pics posted of it? He said he owns a Turbo-A and a Toms C5!

    1988 Tom's C5 Supra

    That's a start!! I'm gonna keep looking for more info on it. Wish we could find a catalog for it or something? I wanna see the inside and rear end and under the hood! How can a car like this just vanish into history?!

    1988 Tom's C5 Supra

    I found a pic of the Toms C5 Soarer that was also produced that year but can't find the Supra version? Apparently it had a weird different front end? Both C5 supra/Soarer where offered at select dealerships as a road car in Japan

    1988 Tom's C5 Supra

    Yeah that's like the most detailed thread that exists on the web about it? There are 2 pictures in the thread that seem to have been deleted? I was hoping there was an actual picture of it somewhere? I know some dealerships in Japan sold it but it seems to have been lost in time. Crazy that...

    1988 Tom's C5 Supra

    Anybody got any pictures of the Tom's C5 Supra produced in '88? I cant find any pics of it anywhere online. The one thread that had pictures here shows as being deleted :( Also is this thing rarer then the Turbo-A? I feel like too much MK3 history has been almost completely lost in time...

    Cool/Rare parts thread?

    No it's the stock Momo steering wheel that came on the Turbo-As in conjunction with the Momo shift knob.

    New Turbo-A in CA

    Actually it doesn't bother me as a daily. I got used to RHD in Japan so I'm more comfortable with it then regular LHD cars now.

    New Turbo-A in CA

    Yeah definitely try and keep it as stock and original as possible just cuz it's an "A." Small mods like rims, big brake kit, coilovers. I got some rims yesterday (some BBS knockoffs) but I dont like the way they look? Something is off? Either the tire is too big for the car or the car is...

    New Turbo-A in CA

    Ooooo yeah the sound of desoldering and soldering just makes me cringe! I wouldn't be up for that just in case something went wrong I would be SOL. That sh*t sounds scary!!

    New Turbo-A in CA

    Perks of being in the military! They shipped it for me. I asked them how much they usually pay to ship a car and they told me everything adds up to around $30,000! Granted the military pays more for everything I'm sure it costs much less if you do it another way. I was told you can ship a...

    New Turbo-A in CA

    I think I saw the other Turbo-A when I went to pick up my car. He lives somewhere in San Diego. I'm trying to find that guys contact info because supposedly he was able to register his car in CA with no problems so I wanna know how he did it. And yes CA is my home of record :(
