Sup fellas,
Ahh, got my baby. My new love. In my garage. I'm 19 and a freshman at Rock Valley College. I'm 6'7" and amazingly I fit into the car, lol. Just got it today. Paid $500 for it. It's a 1990 light blue/grayish color. Sadly, it's an automatic. It has the 7MGE engine in it with 160,000 miles on it. Some rust here and there, with a dent in the front-upper fender (driver's side). This baby needs alot of work, and I'm excited for it. Never worked on a car before?!
I'm giong to be taking out a $3,000 personal loan this week and don't even know where to begin. For the most part the paint and rims are in good condition. Deffinetly needs new tires. I work at Circuit City so I can get a kick ass security system put in it for cheap so I'm probally going to drop $300 on that. I'm also probally going to go with all new speakers and amp with the addition of tweeters; probally 2x10"s or 1x12" (want to conserve space), and a JVC KDAVX.
Will be taking it to my family mechanic and have him look it over, I don't know if he even works on supras, but i need to get tires first and foremost. What I need is: where should I begin? Should i just go ahead and do a swap with the 7MGTE or work on other stuff first (exhaust, intake, manual conversion?)
