So here it goes, this is the story of my black JDM GT Limited but before that, lets get some background info first!
It all started when I was a lot younger, my best mates brother had an awesome power house of a supra and from time to time he got my mates and I to do minor work on it and overtime it grew on us and we loved supras! eventually throughout the past two years my best mate bought a couple, my other mate bought one(soon to be two) and a I also bought two and all in all, we have 7 supras between the four of us haha all the supras we'll ever need.
I bought my first one about a year and a half ago.
Its just a simple 7mge, auto thatll get me from A to B in style haha. Ever since I owned it, it's been a massive learning experience, working on different supras and learning many things but i've realized that overall, they require some attention from time to time but its definitely worth it!
Dont mind the plates or the fact that its right hand drive, its Australian after all haha
after owning this for a while some of the others bought some more supras and after finding that there wasn't much else I could do to this car I figured it was time to start hunting for another, especially as theyre rare around here! With a couple of weeks of looking and no luck I remembered that we looked at one for my mate 6 months earlier and I thought, why the hell not and messaged that guy and was it my lucky day! The owner was about to put it back up for sale for within my price range and I thought I had to have it and agreed to inspect it again the next day! Here is what awaited me
I was in love with the possibilities! A Japanese import with 144xxxkm on the clock, GT Limited which have digi dashes and a 7mgte, apart from a slight knock it was great but with that, I had one issue I had to resolve...there was no transmission in the car and it hadnt been started in nearly 6 years.. So after a bit of pondering with my mate we realized that it was too good to let go and asked if we could fix it on the spot and drive it home, nothing wrong with that ahah
We had a one week deadline to bring her back to life and as she was a factory manual and we only had half of an automatic conversion with the sale, we had a lot to do..
After three longm stressful days of trying to put an Automatic in whilst the engine was on, we finally had it together along with the driveshaft, shifter and everything else apart from the auto electronics.. Then the exhaust, coolant and engine oil all went in and after a bit of playing around, she started perfectly!! It was so quiet we couldnt even tell it was started and the best part, everything worked! and with that we were on our way back home with smiles all around! and to this day here is how she sits
and for you digi-dash fans!
And here is a photo of all the supras between my mates and I
That is all for now
