Tell me what you think! ('88 1G-GTE MKIII)

87TT · 10-12-2010, 08:17 PM

I am definitely planning on throwing a manual in even though the difference between an auto 2jz and a manual 2jz is about $4000. It's insane
I would have never put the wing there myself but I do think it works well with the car and I have never seen another Supra with a wing like it
I don't want it to look like every other Supra out there and I don't know if I'll ever get rid of it. The other downside is that it makes it much easier to throw me into the "ricer" category which is something I never want to be part of
The kit is a Bomex body kit and I'm not sure how much it was lowered as that was done before I bought it
At this point I'm satisfied with the appearance of my car and I just want to focus on performance
I really should get some pics up to show you guys how much better it looks

I'm pretty sure you can get a new bell housing and then be able to use the r154. If you where thinking of using the 6spd, from what I understand fabrication is involved on the tranny tunnel.

okay I was too lazy
now my car is sitting in storage and I never took a picture
hopefully I'll remember once I take it out next summer
waiting for a write off mk4 Supra with a 2jz to hopefully go on auction right away so I can rebuild the engine over the winter

Poor think looks tacky to me. Sort of like something a teenager would do. Those orange seats are precious. Oh and that speaker job...
Have fun and remember you asked

Thats the same auto tranny the 7m bolts to so a r154 should bolt right to your engine or a 2jz with the bell housing.

Where did you get some bucket seat mounts from for this car? I want to get some but am having trouble finding the mounts

87TT · 11-08-2010, 09:33 PM

really? well good to know
not sure if this tranny could handle very much power though
and Minymurf the seats were in the car when I bought it so I don't know
sorry. also you have a single turbo 1ggte? i thought they only came twin or did you convert it to single?

Minymurf · 11-09-2010, 01:52 AM

ahh ok. dam.
nah it was a twin turbo, but the setup was running hell dodgy so the guy before me chucked a big turbo in it instead

fantasma87 · 11-05-2010, 09:42 PM

man i`m sorry that i will post this here but i never had a opportunity to drive a right hand drive car so can`t imagine my self drifting it . the first thing that i will do is trow my self out the door cause i will confuse the e-brake with the door handle.
