Hello

[Dr. Pepper PhD.]

Hi,
My name is Mike and I am from Dayton Ohio. I have just recently gotten into Supras and have purchased and been working on mine for a couple of months now. A friend of mine pointed me here who also has a supra and said you guys would be the place to turn.

This is the right place to come to when in need of info. Welcome. What year is your Supra? Any pics?

89 N/A Auto... I know kinda boring, but with the condition of the car I couldn't pass up $1800 dollars. A buddy of mine told me they are money pits. I have found this to a degree but when I have more time than money you find new and inventive ways to fix old stuff rather than replace it. I almost have it to where all it needs is a new paint job and a little rust control. Will get pics tomorrow for any interested.

Hello...Is it me you're looking for? I can see it in your eyes, uhh umm where was I? Oh yes. Hello! Welcome to SM. This is the place for anything Supra in my most humble opinion. I too once had an 89 NA but now have an 86.5 converted to a GTE. Let's see some pics of yours, Supramania is a very visual group of people.

While it is currently being worked on (vacuum troubles), here is my new family member. It has 218k on the body and just got a JDM motor 20k ago... (I almost wish the original motor blew on me so I would have an excuse to do a turbo swap) I plan on eventually doing one but after a bit and some money inflow.

Things I've done in the month I've had it:
PM (Oil change, spark plugs, O2 sensor,
Brake master cylinder
Rebuilt all Calipers
Front right wheel bearing
Muffler Reweld - Still to be replace when funds are better
Exhaust flange gasket
Vacuum regulator
Rebuilt All seat motors
Replaced Window Regulator
Repaired little things like the push to open box, rewired the amp that came with it that was wired wrong when I got it
New CD player
Replaced the door step trim

To do list:
Rebuild the power antenna motor and remove the one on the rear hatch window
Finish the rust prevention on spare tire compartment.
Picked up old seat backings with the nets... replace elastic and put on
Find these parts: Rear hatch Trim, Third brake light cover (both on mine are cracked), and burgundy seatbelt guides (found them but am working on a payment plan)

All in all I love working on this car and it has cost a little money but It will be worth it when I get it running perfect.

Oh... and another thing I forgot to mention... I am somewhat obsessed with the idea of custom painting (not exterior but engine wise) so keep a look out for changes from here in the engine compartment.
