1986.5 Supra, Just bought this afternoon.

Well, it's got to be the exhaust. The muffler/pipes on this thing are just embarassing. Got the radiator replaced temporarily, threw one of my Volvo turbo radiators in there for the time being, until I get a new one next week.

Got the airbox taken off and just open aside from a hepa filter covering it (LoL, one of those little things you keep from your a/c in the house throwing dust around). It's revving up to 5,500RPM at least, but it's kicking crap out the tailpipe and choking damn near to death. Plus the pipe is so undersized, it's maybe a 1 1/2" and still crimped in a bunch of places.

Found a little bit out about the car today, used to be an automatic. Used to have a security system, LoL, needs a few wires replaced... Small stuff and lots of it. Should be fun. Interior is stage 1 gutted. Step 1, tune up/radiator/air filter. Step 2, exhaust/wiring.

Didn't check the speedo cuz the meter maid bitch came along nagging about working on the car outside of the garage, so I just finished up the radiator and parked it.
