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 Engines in the car. Trying to tie up a few odds and ends befor its able to drive. It still needs:
1. Adjust Valve Clearance
2. Inspect Bottom end for possible bearing/crank damage
3. Replace left Rear Bleeder screw then Bleed Brakes
4. Remove and Replace Brake Shoes
5. Re-Seal Front Windsheild
6. Purchase and Install Lower Engine Cover
7. Purchase AEM GenII EMS (Stand Alone)
8. Purchase AIMSports MXL Pista
9. Replace rear swaybar links
10. Replace PS Inner tie rod
11. Fix A/C
After the above portion of my build is done, I can start focusing on the exterior appearance of my Supra. Till then, STAY TUNED! |
