    James' 94 Supra Turbo

    I saw it sitting outside a neighbors house and had to ask if it was for sale. I am having a damn good day. I got a KILLER deal on a MKIV 94 Supra Turbo with 60k original miles. It's a little on the rough side, but 2JZ-GTE The plan is to fix it up and sell it. Prior to meeting...

    James' 89 Supra Turbo

    I carfaxed the car today. The mileage is accurate, last reported odometer reading at 52,000 in 2011. The engine bay stocktastic, I have photos. I drove the car today and it feels awesome. The motor runs pretty nicely and it boosts pretty well. I parked it in my driveway just before leaving for...

    Bolt on Big Brake Kit For around 300$.

    Excellent, thanks for the pics I got a message from my ebay seller, he was unable to ship my calipers because he found damage. He therefore upgraded my purchase to a lower mileage set listed for $30 more than those which I paid for. Sweet! Can't wait.

    James' 89 Supra Turbo

    The fronts are 235's, rears are 255's. Most likely going to go for a small spacer and 255 at the front and 285 in the rear. I put on a 17x9.5" rear at the front to try it out, pretty close to the strut, didn't test for rubbing at lock since the steering wheel is off. It looks good, can't find...

    Donor shell. Couldn't get anyone to come get it, anyone interested was way too far to make anything happen. Time to chop... need the space to get my trailer built. I got an A-frame welder lined up and the frame chopped. Quick time lapse of car destruction, roof and windshield removal...

    James' 89 Supra Turbo

    That's a thread I can't stare at too long, all of a sudden my mod budget disappears. The engine bay would look great repainted, but that's if it doesn't clean up well enough. Can't say it looks fun to clean.

    Oh the horror. The engine is missing and there's grease everywhere underneath where it was, but that dirty mirror switch! Turns out the mirror switch in there is a no good anyway, it keeps blowing the radio fuse. The original switch didn't do that... I've got a good letter MIRROR switch out of...

    I'd really like to get my hands on one of those lips with the brake ducts. Might try the heat gun, but like you, it's kinda nice after a little straightening of the brackets. CT-26 57 trim... got a little beat up in shipping, should hopefully be fine after switching the coolant lines and...

    CT-26 durability during shipping

    Both housings look undamaged thankfully. At the most there is some rubbing marks along where the coolant pipe was rubbing against it. Thank you.

    CT-26 durability during shipping

    I recently purchased a CT-26 57 trim turbo, however it went through hell during shipping. It showed up in a really banged up box. Obvious things: coolant lines bent, actuator housing bent (one bolt appears to have been stripped right out of the aluminum) Only protection I have found are...

    Thank you. I have also heard these exhaust systems are on the quiet side. around my area, too many cops with nothing to do. a super loud exhaust would be a bad idea. I am going to do my best to keep the car looking relatively OEM. If only they pulled over more bro leaning truck drivers for...

    Donor car now... in a little while I'll have both subframes out and nothing but a shell left over. And for purposes of show, here is the vehicle prior to being disassembled. Back to the project car. 7MGTE out and ready to be disassembled. Evidently, the car has had a motor...

    Trying out a new interior photography method... inside the car with the cover on. When the interior's all ready, I'll do a nice shot showing the seats and center console, etc. A couple videos I put together. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjDDabHHxv0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3T1E7QfFuM
