Re: Remember my Supra turbo?
Slick car.. I love the MKIV wheels. A buddy of mine just built a 3rd gen turbo and it is scary fast. Actually, he said it's too fast (and also big since he has to parallel park a lot) so he's selling it and will probably make about $5K on it :D .
I'd love to have me a Supra turbo one of these days...

x2, I have seen people like that and I look at the car and just think of the potential it could have had.
That is a sweet supra, wish I could afford one..

I don't think I will ever own another car as fun as that one.
At the time he bought it, the new owner had just turned 16 years old. His parents were well aware of how much power it made, but they said they had one of those unusually responsible kids. I began to explain to him the boost setting button on the boost controller that brought it from 7 psi to 15 psi, and his response was "don't bother, I probably won't use that button for a long time." I thought 'yeah right.'
He still posts rather frequently on supraforums and it's nice to see his enthusiasm over the car. It's also nice to see that all the time and effort I spent on the engine build were worthwhile. Other than a clutch-related issue, it seems like it has been really reliable for him.
