This is the finished product, and I like the small custom touches. It isn't the fanciest Supra on the road, but it's mine and I like the way it came out. I hope you do too.
UPDATE: Wow, it has been a while since I updated this site, so here it goes. The engine I put in during the rebuild, a piece of shit ATK rebuilt unit, didn't even last 10,000 miles before the rings went out on it. The company refused to do anything about it, so the car wasn't driven much until I could get everything together for a swap. I found an '89 for sale that was crap on the outside and interior, but had some nice work done under the hood. So in the Spring of 2008, the swap was completed. The new mill has a Greddy 20G turbo, Aeromotive FPR, Mk IV fuel pump, and flow tested 440 injectors. The Cooleze DP couldn't be mated to the new turbo, so an all new custom DP was made. The Blitz Nur Spec exhaust, Fidanza flywheel and Spec I clutch were retained. Electronics include a Greddy ProFec b EBC and Apex'i SAFC in the glove box. The results were amazing! It turned nearly 360HP at the rear wheels at 14psi on the stock 440s! I also added Eibach springs and Tokico shocks to lower it, and really liked the new look. Speed bumps are a bitch now though! I also added some Wet Okole seat covers that look real nice.
I was so happy with it, in fact, that I decided to drive it out to Supras Invade Las Vegas in October of this year. After 2600 miles out and back, it ran perfect. And on top of it all, and after all of the bugs and crap I picked up on the drive out, a fantastic detail job by Rich of Granite Auto in Las Vegas helped me win the Best Exterior - Stock Mk III trophy at the show! Surprise! So here is what it looks like now, lowered and much quicker...
