General Vehicle Comments Ohhh boy... My history w/ "The Beast" is a kinda long one... This was the first car I had ever owned. Id say in 2003, my father bought it for $300. Only the Tach and Boost Gauge worked at the time... Lower radiator hose blew, there went the motor.
I wanted to keep the car, drop a 2JZ into it but my dad made me sell it... I got into drifting after that, had three 240sx's and after crashing my 93 240sx @ the hialeah speedway (failed drift attemt) I ended up buying my supra back from Ray. (I sold to Ivan, Ivan gave to Ray, Ray Sold to me). |

Future Plans Well my new motor is in and I've already started swapping my parts onto this one. The motors comming along nicely, just waiting for a few parts here, and some over there and it should be ready to drop in soon.
Then again, even with the motor in the car it still needs:
1. Buy HKS Super Sequencial BOV
2. Buy Red Samco Engine Hoses
3. Buy Red Hose Techniques SVH Kit
4. Buy Red Samco Upper and Lower Radiator Hoses
5. Inspect Brake Booster
6. Buy Custom Black Carpet
7. Buy 2 NRG Racing Seats w/ Sliders
8. Buy 2 Sparco Seat Brackets
9. Buy Titan Motorsports Harness Bar
10. Buy Sparco 2 Inch 4pt Cam Lock Seat Harness
11. Buy HKS GCC
12. MAFT Pro
After the above portion of my build is done, I can start focusing on the exterior apearance of my Supra. Till then, STAY TUNED! |
