Supra Thread
Post Your Toyotas, your experiences, mods, questions.
Personally want to take a Supra and make it into a rally car.
pic related is a restoration job for what is now my DD, believe it or not.
215,616 miles and counting- and the AC still works and there is literally nothing wrong with the car.

How much money for mk3 2jz gte swap?
Is it hard to do? If anyone did it pls tell details.
>>15608995
Anybody that would mistake that for the attached pic deserves to have their brains bashed in with a baseball bat

you're going to need a brand new transmission housing, and a new engine wiring harness, the engine and tranny put together is about 2k, if you've got a 1989+, the engine mounts are immaterial, otherwise you'll need new ones. it's normal to have a slushbox with these swaps, if you don't want that i suggest getting the bell housing from a 2jz and using your MK3 supra manual transmission.
keeping mine stock, though i did look into it.
>>15610450
if you set aside about 3,500 you can easialy get the thing going fine. the swap really just requires you to pull out the old 7mge and throw the new one in.

Sitting in mine right now
I really want to get a supra as my first car. There's something about it I just love and I want one so bad it burns
>>15611329
not too difficult to get your hands on to be honest.
got one as my first car from a friend of mine's will.
>>15608984
>take a Supra and make it into a rally car.
Interesting idea but you'd never win anything unless you're the only car in class. Toyota got shat on when they tried it.
>>15611391
it just be a fun thing to do, to run rally tracks- i don't really have a want to go race rally style.
besides, this is a luxury sports car. emphasis on luxurious.
The mk3 is so cool but I've only ever seen one that wasn't in shit condition.
I saw one with the plate SUPRABRO and that was the shittiest one yet, it was covered in rust.
>>15611472
they're pretty rare, but on the west coast it's a piece of cake to find a really good one.

Just save up more money. You'll buy it... eventually.

As long as you have flip-ups.

I want to swap a V6 camry engine in it
>>15611391
Pretty easy to mistake for Celica.

>>15611889
Where are you finding these supras? I live in SoCal and can barely find any that don't need work to fix up and are in decent condition. If I do find one that fits those criteria then it's out of my price range, I can spend at most $6000 which I would think is plenty.
>>15613743
Buy one from another state and drive it home for ADVENTURE. If it breaks along the way you're so fucked though.

How bad that car actually is?
>>15614801
they're fwd.
>>15615828
Turbo was an option
>>15613292
That's the plan.
>>15613782
I actually tried contacting that guy for a bit more info on it. No response.

I'll regret it since it's the one I wanna save for, but here. It's been up for a little bit.
>>15615844
so?
>>15615844
neat
i picked this guy up a couple of months ago and haven't posted him yet
don't know weather or not to go for that 1000hp build or not thoughts?
95 N/A Auto(sadly) diamond pearl white
>>15617763
side note she needs alot of work still really deciding between making it that beast and starting a collection i have a large appreciation for jap 90s/70s and kinda wanna be that single 50 year old with 40 restored/clean imports but at the same time i own a jza80 and should really just be happy with that
>>15617763
okay, first you only need to build it to about six fifty- after that you'd need really high power fuel to work properly
>>15617789
so like 2 hks turbo build new rings rods cams and injectors ? or what all am i looking at
Ive been thinking the 400-600 drift box too but im just not sure how much would i be ruining the car with tuning?
>>15617832
the rear end's can easialy handle the pressures of the high horsepower.
but idk about the slushbox, and the ability to have it withstand the pressurse.
that car's very, very sturdy.
>>15617763
keep it sto.....
oh, its LHD.. kek
who cares.
>>15611101
Sex. Any more pics?
>>15611774
Saved. How much did you get that for?
>>15617763
Where's that at?
maybe i should mention there are a couple things not stock on the car already (all from the last guy) hks exhaust (but just the back.... not the full exhaust) k&n intake and the spoiler/fin clearly added afterwards
>>15617889
id swap in the getrag 6s if i were going for it
>>15617976
U.S. in a random parking lot in my small town
ohio if you need more specifics
Just chiming in with some Toyota love.
Does Toyota meme reliabily extend to their sportcars?
>>15618306
oh yes, if you tighten down the head gaskets on the 7mgte to its real 75 instead of toyota's 45 on the head bolts.
otherwise, i've got a supra with 345k miles with no real problems.
>>15618170
i want one.
>>15617763
Nice soup man, my first supra was an auto NA too, ended up trading it in for a 6spd TT which I own atm
Looks pretty clean tho man, would be worth picking up some s2 indicators and tails and maybe getting some stock chromies if you wanna keep that stock look.
>>15608984
Anybody got any experience in purchasing Supras in the UK? The only ones that I can find are MK3 Autos and to be honest I much prefer the look of the MK2 and would prefer it to be in manual.
If things get dire do you think it would just be easier to import one from America?
>>15622968
>multidrilled wheels
>THREE SPOKE wheels
>probably a non turbo automatic
BLEEEHHHHHHHHHH just vomited everywhere
>>15622997
You faggot, that's the GTR anon from straya. It's a turbo manual, he just bought it with shit wheels.
Can you get any more angry?
>>15609442
Craigslist?
>>15622877
Thanks man its really rough on the driver side (i believe it was sitting for a while due to the damages and some other suprises ive found in her like 2 rats nests one in the blower motor) the hoods 2 different colors of white and some rear wheel well damage on the side you can see just patch jobbed to prevent more damage until i paint it
Should i maybe just build a 6s tt? In some fashion im having a hard time with the tuning idea is it worth?
>>15624463
Going NA-T is fine if your not chasing massive power, but If your wanting to get some decent power you would want to either engine swap her or just buy a TT supra, here in Aus it worked out around the same costs just buying a factory 6spd TT rather than swapping the engine and gearbox.
And with the gearbox the factory auto will hold the power if you have stock twins but will need to be built or upgraded if you plan on going single, and the factory getrag v160 gearboxes are pretty damn expensive.
>>15623984
most definitley
>>15624508
this
>>15624508
There still pretty expensive in the us as far as i can tell 6-8k is what i was expecting to pay
Are the N/A's really that different from the tt engines i know the head is shaped much different (i have 2 stock turbos but they dont mix well with the N/A head) i mean is it unatainable to upgrade the internals massivley and throw on an hks/getrag turbo and call it good ?
Thanks for all the help tho everybody
>>15608984
the steering wheel is on the wrong side.
>boom
my moon-buggy spec supra.
has a 1geu in it. i shit you not, not even a 1gge, like this bitch is sohc...
from factory!
gonna either slam a 1jzgte in like a memester or chuck in a 1kz-te from a prado.
cos diesel would be amusing.
>>15630317
here is a 5min photoshop of the supra in meme-mode. i couldn't find moon-roon squiggles for the door, but i did add a rad lense flare.
in seriousness though, i would like to use those diamond racing style steelies - they always look tough and nascar-y i reckon.

Do I go for it?
>>15632327

>>15632327
Not for that insurance, that's silly. First car get a pre-smashed up shitbox because you will crash it.
>>15632345
I don't want to drive a shitbox for 12 months
>>15610066
Have a 2JZ Mk. III currently, did the swap last summer. Not incredibly difficult, harness I had built, though. Bellhousing, flywheel, etc. from a JZA70, custom motor mounts and had to port-a-power the firewall slightly for fitment but it wasn't too bad.
Fantastic car after that. Pic related, just when I finished the swap.
>>15629611
Have a read of this thread: http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?119214-NA-and-TT-Differences
You could probably save alot of money if your doing the work yourself but if you gonna be paying someone else to do the work you might want to consider just dropping in a GTE, It would just save alot of hassle and give you some peace of mind for when you want to run a big single later on.
You do also have to consider other things that need upgrading like the Diff, larger brakes, fuel system etc, depending on what your supra came with.
