New Yota member. Nothing stays stock

No automatics, no Naturally aspriated motors, and bring on the custom parts. Im all about making my car or truck different or bigger, stronger, faster, or slower. As are most enthusiast. so lets start with the first toyota

The wrong motor 3vze with a R150 and 4.10 basically all the neat factory power options. Base power upgrades on it. I got it as my first car and at the time the speedway blue taco was released. I fell in love with the color and this was as close as i could get. seats where redone, carpet was new, soft tonneau cover and that bed was rusted but i couldnt give up the look of the embossed toyota and the rails at the top for some plain flat sided bed. so we repaired it as best we could.

then I went to college and wanted a sports car so i got a NA 1986.5 mk3 supra. It was perfect for upgrading.

went to marlin crawler and rebuilt the r154 similar to the r150.

then said bye bye to 7mge and hello 2jzge with a cummins turbo

later the subframe cracked

so we fixed that up
replaced the tired bushings for Energy poly bushings

long nights making magic happen

last time i was on the dyno with my backyard build

next is the 66mm borgwarner s366 turbo and make big boy power

Back to the truck side of my life Im feeling confident i can afford a new taco and still live comfortably so I tried selling the blue beast multiple times but just couldnt get what i wanted for it. i was to proud of it. after months of waiting the right buyer came along. I wish i could have kept it but the apartment is already upset that i have 3 cars here and number 4 would be hard to hide from them haha.
Meet the new blue beast

the pictures of the supra are old, there has been more mods done and it looks alot cleaner. I hope there is a members rides thread. ill do my build pictures there if anyone is interested.

but anyhow the taco was brand new with 4 miles on it. i had waited 4 weeks for the S/C to arrive and Today I just picked it up. She has 1800miles now. Im one happy camper
