Default Getting a new ride

Not a DD like everyone else, I've already got the DD :P





1985 Yota Sooprah, automatic converted to 5 speed, ghetto as all hell but its a blast to drive

Last two pics make it look flat black. It's really dirty and I think the lighting was way off, its a lot darker in person. First things im doing is painting the white grill/headlight shrouds black (as they should be), getting rid of that wing, switching the taillights back to the 85's (for some reason the owner liked those ones betteR) and getting rid of the rice pipe. Picking this up for only $300, and yes turbo is in the plans.
Someone sell me an FMU for cheap

You do know that a 7mgte exhaust manifold will bolt up if you slot the bolt holes on the #6 runners?
Dont use a RRfuel pressure reg on that car, the fuel rail is too long, and the pressure drop across cylinders is too great. You will end up like Ye Old Lundsford and replace your no.1 piston every weekend. MHG and arps, 5m head flows plenty dont even bother with a 7m unless you cant find parts. Super AFC and some decent injectors and call it day.

He wanted $400 and I talked him down from there. He was originally saying "What would you like to offer" And I told him $50 smackaroos :P

Nope, I did not. I figured something bolted up, I'm quite unfamiliar with Toyotas as of now. I'll see what I do regarding fuel management. Thanks for the advice though

Jorsher, just bid on the damn thing

thanks hondarex
