1987 Supra son to own
 
Im about to buy an 87 supra, its a 3.0 L straight 6 cylinder with single turbo, i dont know much at all about them, but lets first start with the motor, seeing as its going to be an autocross car, what performance parts are available? its a little rough, its been sitting for awhile, motor works though. Second, for some reason it has no fuel system, no tank, lines, etc. Whats a good size and style of fuel cell and what all to go along with it (lines, pump, inline filter, etc)? my third concern, is the interior, its ragged, no carpet or headliner or anything, just seats and a dashboard and both are in BAD shape, so since its a racer, or soon to be, i dont want either of those, so what product could i use to coat the entire inside of the body shell with? I have a jeep wrangler that we had rhinolined inside, functions great, i want something like that. Thanks in advance!

(also might be pulling the motor and tranny and body all seperate, sandblasting the frame, etc, undercoating recommendations? and the hood and hinges are badly damaged, is there any carbon hoods with the pin style hold downs? like you see on street car based dragsters?) again, thanks!

im currently trying to make mine an autocross car that can also function as a daily. the aftermarket i belive is there, just not as up and front like the mk4 that every one knows about. from shopping around suspension is expensive to upgrade but since tire rack.com sells suspensin its come down substancialy from sites like supra store and hoarsepower freaks. besides thoes few things on tire rack you really cant beat hpf.com, they even have a full build roll cage for the mk3 from cusco for 700$

Don't forget the miata. Just try an open a GRM magazine and not find several miatas. Part availability is so much better too.
