    James' 94 Supra Turbo

    First I ran some seafoam through the intake manifold. Also did an engine oil treatment to get as much crap into the oil as possible. Changed to fresh Mobil 1 10W30 and a K&N HP-1002 filter. Added a fuel injector cleaner and fuel system flush additive with a full tank. Cleaned the stainless Blitz...

    Hat tip to you, mad hatter. No Supra deserves to be left alone, especially if riced. Same here! I've got a couple 4WD 4Runners that wouldn't mind having a word with that fiberglass POS that used to be there. Great minds think alike, brother. What's even crazier is that I sold the Blitz...

    Crank back from polishing and it is much nicer than before. Rod bearings, main bearings, thrust washers, standard size Cometic 1.9 Metal Head Gasket and a teflon intake manifold isolator gasket Now that's a head gasket! NPR Pistons and rings on their way, .040" over Current state of the...

    After reading about the OEM 5x7 subwoofer, I was curious why mine must not be working. Popped the clips from the carpet and unscrewed the cover... that'll do it! Ordered one from eBay and its en route. The car has a bad pull, so I paid our alignment tech a visit. The toe was terrible up...

    Sent the tint back to hell from where it came. Faded to purple es muy mexicano. My friend John had an alternator from a Lexus RX330 he had parted out. The thing shared internals, voltage regulators, brushes, stator... it was the same alternator with the exception of the mounting...

    Tags! :D The extra car cover fits pretty good, not so much around the spoiler, but it's close.

    The Blitz wheels are gone - Traded them for a set of chrome TT wheels plus cash. The sorry state of the brakes - new rotors and pads will be finding their way onto this car. The silly brembo stickers will be removed from the stock TT calipers. Bonus! Stainless steel braided lines! The car...

    Thank you everyone for your support. Seriously though, here are some things that could cost more than what I paid for this car: - A stock 2JZ-GTE motor (just the motor) - A V160 6 speed Trans - A new Samsung refrigerator - A valve body replacement on a 2009 Mercedes Benz GL550 So far...

    Got a BIC performance downpipe, bellmouth 7M rebuild time! Blown head gasket to say the least... #6 did have coolant in it. Scraped deck. The block appears to have been surfaced and bored to .040" once before, there are no chamfers on the edges of the cylinders. The timing cover where...

    So the alternator took a shit. 4 lights came on the dashboard and now I'm plugging into the trickle charger. Anyway... Rear bumper removed, rear quarter skirts removed, stock bumper installed While I was at it, I realized the exhaust was a good brand - HKS Super Dragger Side...

    Blitz logo and Toyota logos were painted Gold... ugly if you ask me. Plus this Blitz logo can go in its entirety. Notice the blue in the paint?

    James' 94 Supra Turbo

    After a day or so, we agreed on a price and I got the car. Surprisingly it fired right up after a new battery, 63k on the ODO. Drove it home and it even boosts well. Next step was to take it to work and get it cleaned up.
