Supra when i first got it



Supra Exterior now:



Now onto the build as of today 12/10/2012:
Head is off at the machine shop for hot tank cleaning.


Transmission out of the car


Getting into the rear main seal to be changed it was leaking.

 

Very cool. This is the only car that I would sell the EVO for.

 

Ive always loved Supras. Car looks sick and cant wait to see more updates

 

Right car right color. Good luck with the build

 

good luck with the build! Gotta love the MKIV

 

painful to see someone mod a clean, low mileage supra. seems like a waste.

 

thanks man!

 

Nice color

 

Love Supras cant wait for updates!

 

Update as of 12/11/2012

Head is back from the machine shop cams valve springs and retainers should be coming in today as well.

 

Agreed. I don't mean it negatively at all because definitely more power to anyone that wants to mod their Supra.

There are just so few bone stock, low mile ones left in existence it is a little painful to watch one be torn down so it can be modified. At the same time, I always enjoy Supra build threads!! You have to make baller money to modify Supras. Good luck OP!!!

 

Well I wanted to stay bpu with exhaust and intake but my stock twins failed major shaft play and leaking oil. Second reason is my valve stem seals were leaking badly causing it to burn a lot of oil and changing the seals require the cams spring and retainers to be taken out anyway. Third my front and rear main seals were also leaking. I felt this way was more cost effective and I will have a little more fun with the car.

 

I went through the same dilemma but honestly the car was pretty boring to drive stock.

It's way more fun now with bolt-on parts, but we're all car guys so the quest for more power will always be there .


Right now I'm parts hoarding in my garage to go big single.


BTW OP:

Hope to see your car at one of the NE Supra meets come Spring.

 

Oh I cant wait to see this come together. I love mk4 supras. White makes every car look good in my opinion

 

Kill youself. Thanks.




OP, why an old GT4088? what are your power goals?
