So I've got a 8 month old, 19 page long build thread on www.tristatetuners.com but now that we have this section here I thought I would include my project.
Its not as big budget as some of them out there but I'm trying to do the car right and do it justice... and hopefully you'll find some creativity and a lot of hard work and love in this project.
I bought my 94 TT 6 speed Supra last December with a damaged engine harness and other damaged wiring so it was not running. Interior and exterior were in very very good condition, but the engine bay was pretty dirty and of course need some wiring work done.
I had planned to keep things simple and inexpensive at the time, but its clear now that I have no self control and I've dug a whole lot deeper than I originally planned to. I wasn't planning to mod much or put too much money into the car but now she has a single turbo, fuel system, new coilovers, wheels, painted engine bay, and we're in the process of some really cool relocation to clean up the engine bay a lot.
I'm bummed the car still isn't running, but I think she will be soon, and I think all the hours and all the late nights and busted knuckles will be worth it.
I'm just skipping through my other thread posting all the photos I put up over time so I may be missing some details... if you're curious just ask! You may notice that some things were done out of order but its because I didn't plan on going as far as I did and plans kept changing. So not everything you're reading from early on is accurate...
Anywho, on with the photo updates... there will be a lot of photos I'm catching you up on so hold tight...

Picked up a new project, I just couldn't resist. Always wanted one, just kind of figured I'd get one 'later.' Well, I'm not one to pass on an opportunity and I found this little peach in need of some much needed love that I am willing and able to give it. It needs some work and has some sketchy wiring that I will be replacing and repairing (thanks fred you're the mannn!), and by spring I expect her to be in tip top shape.
I've been giddy all week, nonstop smile and to the handful of people I told about it, I pretty much haven't been able to shut up about it. It just really puts things into perspective on how simple, easy, and 'inexpensively' (same amt you'd spend on another car to add 50-150 whp), you can add an extra 400 whp to this car.
Without further adieu...

1994 Toyota Supra Twin Turbo 6-speed Targa
Black with black leather interior
...and NO, I am not selling the Subie! I'm finishing the Subie real soon, and only then will I dig into the almighty Supra. Its gonna be a fun winter :mrgreen:
I should also add that short term goals are restoring the car to near-perfect condition inside and out, and not really adding any mods to the car (unless stock parts are bad). The car currently has a few mods that will give it quite a boost in power over the 320 hp it comes with stock... probably in the neighborhood of 425-450 whp.
Current mods on the car (that I know of) are:
Greddy Profec-B EBC
Greddy Turbo Timer
Greddy Boost Gauge
Greddy 4 Row FMIC
Short Ram Intake (not sure what kind yet)
Stock Downpipes I think (I'll be going aftermarket here)
HKS Dragger Catback
Tint, probably 15% or so
H+R Coilovers
Stock calipers painted red
SSR GT3 18" 3-piece wheels... staggered, probably 9 in the front and 10 in the rear with 235 front and 275 rear Bridgestone S-03s
Blitz Triple Plate Clutch (which will be removed for something much more streetable)
