Default My Z's New Best Friend and roommate :)

Well, hwere are the pics, enjoy. Its a 1994 Supra TT Targa 6 spd Alpine Silver w/ Black Leather with 38,000 origional miles. The only things that need attention right now are the crap springs that slammed the thing on the ground and paint (Damn old guy repainted the car when he put a lip kit on and it looks like Maaco did it. However, we then put it on a lift and there is no sign of frame damage or other body work and a clean carfax. ) Mechanically the car runs excellent, and all services including the 60K have been performed on the car.

As of now, just had a downpipe, Greddy Intercooler, and the Apex-N1 exhaust put on and the Turbos are now spooling simultaneously. Waiting to get it on the Dyno up at MSP following the Thanksgiving holiday and have it tuned a little bit and put in the guages, A/F controller, and boost controller.

But Holy Crap this car is AMAZING. If only the Z had the potential this does power wise. Oh well. The Z is still more purdy.

Congrats Robbie, are you going to a more performance oriented modding plan with this car and leaving the Z for show?

Yeah, the Z is staying more show. This is just begging to be fast. It will stay TT for a while though, and just build off those for the time being. The car runs REALLY well so modding it drastically isn't in the plan for now.

You just have to know where to look and be patient really. They come up every once in a while. Another buddy of mine found a 95 with 13K on it but Black and bought that one a few yrs ago. That car is in every sense of the word mint. They are hard to find, but they are out there.

This was found by 2 brothers that own JMS motorsports outside Dallas. They are known for buying and selling Supras and finding them. They got this car of a 78 yr old man in Vegas believe it or not.

In due time, but probably not for next season. We'll see. The next on the list right now is the Z's suspension. Although let me know how your Do-Luck project goes. This could be heading that way as well.

Since you'll be repainting one day, Top Secret widebody would be a nice addition.

Does he hang/race around the Dundalk area by any chance? If so, did he race a relatively quick red FD RX-7 a little bit ago?

that TS Supra is nice...depending on what I get as my next car I might get one of these. I have always had a soft spot for Supras. Seeing that TS Supra makes me want to stop working on the Z and go get one of those.
