I just picked up my Supra last night!

[84celicasupra]

Wow, I'm so excited. I sold my boat to a guy who didn't have enough cash to buy it, so he gave me the cash he had + his 84 Supra. I agreed to the trade sight unseen since he was a friend and described the car to me. This entire time, I thought it was an L type since it's an automatic. I didn't realize you could have an auto P-type, so imagine my surprise when I show up and it's got the fender flares, Recarro seats with the air bulb adjustment etc. I was psyched. The wheels I bought for it will now fit, it has an LSD etc.



I went to change out the wheels and tires last night when I got it home, but there's wheel locks on it and I have the wrong key for them. I'm going to get an extractor this morning for them. The other nuts were so tight that my impact gun couldn't budge them, so I'll need some penetrating oil too and a big ass pipe.

I ordered an HKS intake last night and performance lowering springs and adjustable shocks, and then off to get an alignment.

I'm just so happy, I wanted to share this with people that would understand. No one else understands why I wanted an "old car" when I already have two brand new ones.

I would look in the owner's handbook for the Jacking/ lifting points, There are areas that you put the secondary stands ( emergency blocks) that many use as jacking points.
My car has some crushed areas and bent metal lips due to tire techs not jacking the MK2 properly.
A floor jack will mostly likely bend over the metal lip and crush the metal when used in the wrong area.

Thanks guys for the kind words. Here's what's going on this week.

Slotted front rotors with red stuff pads
Brembo rear rotors with grippest pads I could find for the rear
New shocks and struts
Performance progressive springs. 1" lower

The car had a recent paint job but the painter was sloppy and oversprayed trim etc. I'm thinking of covering this up with a set of custom graphics that mimic the 80's. http://http://www.google.com/search?q=celica+supra+group+b&hl=en&client=safari& tbo=d&biw=768&bih=928&tbm=isch&tbs=simg:CAESEglqQ6 G0DPq--yF_1gd9fX50i7w#biv=i|0;d|akOhtAz6vvt49M:
