Hey Guys,
My name is Justin. I'm a Store Manager for Express Oil Change in Huntsville, AL. I am a first time Supra owner, but definitely not a newbee when it comes to turbo cars. For the past five years I have been very big into the DSM world. I have owned 2 AWD and 2 FWD turbo DSM's. My current one is a 1992 Plymouth Laser RS AWD. It makes 350+awhp and is a low 12 second car on an EVOIII16g. I have done all the work myself on all of these including the engine build in my current car. I won't get into any more specifics unless someone just wants to know...
Now on to the good stuff...
I have wanted a Supra for a while. Since I am entirely too poor to afford a MKIV I have been eyeballing MKIII's for quite a while now, just looking for "the deal I couldn't pass up". Well I finally found my new project.
1991 Turbo 5-speed (bone friggin' stock)
"White" package
116,xxx original miles
All the goodies (TEMS, leather, etc.)
Body is excellent with only 2 small dings on the drivers fender (no rust)
Interior is good with only 1 tear in each front seat. Perfect Dash, all electronics work including TEMS.
The car had a BHG about 6 years ago and has been sitting ever since. The original owner didn't ever getting around to fixing it and sold it. The person that purchased it pulled the engine, had the head and block machined, and attempted to start rebuilding it in his garage. What he failed to do was have the crank turned/polished so he couldn't figure out why the bearings didn't Plastiguage out correctly...lol
So needless to say he got frustrated (and broke) and listed the car on Craigslist. I rented a car dolly, drove 11 hours each way and picked it up for only... should I say it... $950.
It will be a tax time project as I will be buying parts when I can until then and finishing it off when Uncle Sam gives me back some of the money he raped me out of.
I'm trying to researcha as much as I can but have a few questions that I have not been able to find answers to that I will post in the correct forums. So any help would be appreciated.
For the first time (and I'm sure not the last),
THANKS GUYS
