my '90 RHD mk3

[hlvw wrecker]

I got this car just before the big dump of snow on trade plus cash for my old rhd crx. Its a '90 2.5 Twin Turbo R, but with the Auto trans, which is odd.


pic time

(sry but i have them on facebook at this time) http://www.facebook.com//photo.php?pid=2984446&id=517643151#/album.php?aid=127131&id=517643151

she has:
Mine's ecu, HKS super dragger exh, Apex'i intake and that's pretty much it lol


I dropped the tank in my driveway to pull the pump(i got pics in there as well of that) and it wasnt as hard as everyone on supraforums made it sound.

enjoy

[Bri-Guy]

Okay.

That's where it popped up.

In great shape.

[hlvw wrecker]

she needs alittle tlc to get it into prime shape(power polish and repair the WICKED tear in the dvr side seat)

mike

[annoyingrob]

Pulling the tank is dead easy. Supraforums don't know a Supra from their ass.


And welcome BTW.

[hlvw wrecker]

dyno vid of my old soarer, the supra will be goin the same direction basically.

[MicaGreenTurboR]

Nice Turbo R i got one also with the Auto and its Mica Green!

[hlvw wrecker]

nice, got pics?.

mike

[hlvw wrecker]

well the time has come for the modding ot begin.

first big purchase(kinda) is a T88-34D, supra_devil will be building the manifold for it along with other things.

ill post up pics of the progress and parts once i get back from Bc.

[10secdream]

That is a huge snail for a 1jz.I wonder what the spool characteristics will be like.

[hlvw wrecker]

start seeing boost at 4200, full boost by 4800.

laggy as shit ,but im goin for big numbers, and drag times.

mike

[Funkycheeze]

Big peak HP numbers don't always translate into a fast car.

[10secdream]

I guess we will see. Most 2jz guys dont see full boost on that thing until 5000-5500. Either way it should be a fun track car. What are your hp goals?

[hlvw wrecker]

a modest low-600's for this year.

mike

[Funkycheeze]

Just my opinion that turbo cars that are laggy as shit are fucking awful to drive around. And needing to rev the shit out of them to make good power is hard on the motor.

[hlvw wrecker]

thats why i am sticking with auto :)

[Tara]

You mean blowing up the auto? :P

(I have no idea how much power they can hold)

[hlvw wrecker]

the stock auto's are about 400whp, once it goes i got a 4l60e in the garage ready to go in.

This is Jeremy's old car! =D

[Bri-Guy]

I think that the discussions about this car being a street car should be limited at this point. Judging by those tires, you definitely have a purpose in mind.

[Piggity]

I like the balloon tires, I mean slicks. Should give you a great 60ft time.

[annoyingrob]

I have some 255 drags on sawblades. They're pretty ballooned..... :)

[hlvw wrecker]

ya im quite pleased with the "fitment" she has now, IMO stretched tires are over-played, tall sidewalls is where its at

[annoyingrob]

The only people who think stretched tires are cool drive 240s and golfs.

[Funkycheeze]

HEY! Funny thing is that the tires on Tara's celica (the summers) are waaay streched - 215s on an 8 inch wide rim. They are going to be replaced.

[Tara]

Yeah. The previous owner curbed the rims a bunch as a result... in only a few short months of driving. How depressing. Stretched tires are bad mojo. I like the look of a good amount of meat on a rim.

Anyone looking for some cheap-as-borsh 215 45 R17s?? :P

[Piggity]

What brand and model of tire, Tara? I could use those for my 17" wheels.

[hlvw wrecker]

well, my old t78-33d kit has come available, and i am thinking about picking it up and installing the turbo soon (aslong as the army people give me the money for it)

if i do expect to see transmission r&r thread soon after that

[hlvw wrecker]

plz excuse the crap-tastic front bumper, she might be gettin paint this year, but here she is installed.



I did have to screw it into the sides of the bumper skin, and use a zip disc to trim all the plastic to get it to fit properly, aswell as trim the "driver" side of the small udct to clear the tow hook(as pictured)

[Dan_Gyoba]

Exhaust looks good. I do really like that front grille kit, too.

[hlvw wrecker]

thnx, the front air guide really sets the car off. And i love the sound of the exhaust

[hlvw wrecker]

new pic's time, finally got around to washing this damn car.

[CanadianLurch]

where is your upper timing belt cover and spark plug cover?....Looking good! What type of coils are you running in your car?

[hlvw wrecker]

car never came with the coil cover, and i got a few timing covers im having done.

the coils are supersparks, great coils!

[strictlySupra]

[hlvw wrecker]

[Grandavi]
