Cooks 1991 Toyota Supra Slow Build with Import Tuner BS

Whats going on guys! Some of you know that I've been looking for a DD for about a year so I can keep miles off the rig and get some maintenance done. Well without further ado!

Currently:



When I picked it up:



Plan for this is strictly a DD until I can get it back into the proper "show" car look and get some major maintenance done on the rig. Once those are done I'll begin to slowly start doing some things.


Some quick specs:

-Chassis has 230,000 miles
-Motor has less than that, PO had a 1JZ installed but was done poorly over 10 years ago so he threw another 7M-GTE in so around 180,000 miles on that.
-5-speed turbo
-Pop up headlights

Here's some more pics pics




Good ol 7M-GTE!



Interior is pretty clean for an almost 30 year old car apart from the dash really




First and third car owned! Toyotas all the way

 

Beauty

I want one

What did you pay?

 

Thanks! Probably too much but too late now. KBB said I got a good deal but I paid $8k for it. But I don't really care now because it's too damn fun to drive

 

I am going to sell my 93 MR2 turbo. Had it almost 16 years

Want a Supra. Thus was curious
Thanks !

 

whyyyyy?????

 

Suuuuuuuuuubd​

 

I’d keep it honestly unless you could trade for a Supra. I bet that thing is sweet. I’d wouldn’t mind an MR2 except no backseats. Granted neither does mine really but I can cram somebody back there

 

I want a MK3 Supra due to the back seat

Lost out on an Integra type R on bring a trailer . Bid $37,000 but got outbid

I remember in 2001 my local dealer couldn’t give the Type R away for 21,000$

 

16 years of ownership
Have 4 other 2 seaters
It’s the least valuable

 

You have an Awesome car with a lot of potential. Not a toyota so I have its rival but its an 1987. Been in family since new but its not stock. Less than 70k original miles. Only comes out during summer months

 

Ah gotcha well that changes it.

Damn that would’ve been sick! My buddy loves Type R’s but he sold his too, wishes he hadn’t. So I don’t plan on selling this as long as I can haha

 

Still a beautiful car! So for only people who know what it is are hardcore enthusiasts or other late 80s car owners haha

 

Yep, most people don't know what mine is either. Just has TURBO Z on it. Always liked the supras except for one or 2 years it was rounded body with big tail. You have a keeper.

 

type Rs are money now. i just built up my 93 integra woth a kswap.

i want it, lol.

 

Miss my DAs. Had a B17 92 GS-R, and a 91 RS back in the day.

I won't sell my MR2, till I acquire a Supra first. If you are serious, I will PM you when I have it for sale. It has 37K original miles.

 

Damn! Only 37k miles that’s ridiculous haha

 

Sub'ed.
Great car! Looks like it's in pretty good shape. Have you ever owned an MK3 before?

My first car was an 89 Supra Turbo in white. I blew the HG and had to get rid of it. I always regretted it afterward and eventually bought another. I've had this one since 09. It's a 92 7MGTE Auto w/Sunroof. Currently, on my second 7M and pushing a little coolant when in the boost. For some insane reason, I'm rebuilding a third 7M with forged rods/pistons and hoping to make this one bulletproof. Head is currently at the machine shop so I can finish it up. Going to do an R154 swap when I put the new engine in, too. I've been through hell and back since I've owned this car and it's in much better shape than when I started. I'm glad to help out if you have any questions or need some advice with the car.

 

Beautiful car.
