Hey guys,
A little bit about me! My name is Taylor. I'm a sophomore mechanical engineering student at Arkansas WOO PIG. After I get my bachelor's in MEEG I hope to do a two year master's program in automotive engineering, not sure where I want to go yet or if it's financially feasible at the moment but we'll keep fingers crossed! First car was a $1000 '98 Ford Contour, then reluctantly got a truck as a HS grad gift, but my current DD is a '98 Accord.
I don't recall when the Supra bug bit me, but I went through my dream phases of various other cars just like the rest of us. Something about the MK3 though stood out to me (not the price LOL). After a great deal of impatience got the best of me, I jumped on this 1992 Teal Turbo.
Bought with a rod knock from a kid who had it for a little over a year, his first car. Leather is in half-ass decent shape minus wear in the typical high traffic areas, possibly a couple holes in rear seats covered with tape. Paint is also fair, has a couple faded spots on the rear bumper and sunroof, and there are random dings/nicks in the paint as well as some cracked bondo on passenger door.
Before trailering it home 7 hours I had not witnessed a cold start and was terrified by a couple seconds of an ungodly clacking from the engine followed by an eerily smooth and quiet idle (my guess is also main bearing). Anyway, plans for the car are to remain cosmetically completely stock after repairing the bondo crack, hoping to pull the block for a stock rebuild with upgraded oiling system and fastening hardware, debating on MHG.
There's my story, hope you guys like my new ride and I'm looking forward to finally contributing to the forum!
