hey guys. I'm new to the forums and to supra alike. i was a regular on toyotacelicas.com but sold my 91 GT and had to change forums. i love Toyota. great history with almost all their models. ever see a 76 celica? mustang clone ftw haha.

i have an 86.5 N/A ":(" supra. got it about a month ago and love the car. plenty of pickup for a non-turbo and i couldn't walk away for $1000. *talked down from $2200 haha

haven't done much to it besides removed the stock intake filter and housing. the replacement filters were too expensive and i already had a K&N leftover from the celica. and a metal head gasket. had enough experience with inline 6's to take any chances haha. had to replace the hose from the water-pump to the block, so i decided to change every hose i could get to. removed the front bumper lip cause it was bent and ugly. +2" ground clearance! haha

anyway here she is:

i plan to stick around for a while. Forums are the best bank of knowledge when it comes to cars and this was highly recommended for supras.

so HI everyone and i hope you're patient with me if i have any questions haha

Welcome to SM Max! I'll be going up to Chicago tomorrow morning! Also I've seen a 76 Celica and that car is just raw. I took a picture of one recently. It belongs to my mechanic's older brother. My mechanic have one too but his is still in the works of a rebuild.

Dude I work every Sunday night unless I take a vacation. Next time give me a heads up like 2 weeks in advance or something so I can take the days off. Dammit I'm missing out.
