    Never really did this

    Hey, I've been having an account for about a year & two months but never really introduced myself. My name is Uriel im from Lawrence, MA, Im only 17 got my supra when i was 15 had been working on it since & finally got it on the road this year on September. My car... shes a 1985 toyota supra but was made in June so idk if shes considered as an 86 model as my father says she is, I havent gone crazy on the mods as im not employed yet (searching for a job hopfully sears gives me a call soon), all my car has is a Dynomax turbo muffler, an airfilter i purchused on ebay with a built in fan, st suspension lowered springs, & kyb shocks. She was painted over the summer love the color , well thats about it aha greetings from me to you.







    Last photo is with my brothers wheels ( want them so bad ! )

    June of 1985 is probably still an 85, but the only difference is the 3rd brake light on the 1986 model. What do you mean "air filter with built in fan"? If this is what I suspect, it will restrict airflow rather than help it. How about some pictures of that new paint job?

    You cant see the photos ? & yea the air filter has a fan inside of it so it can bring in more air lol i thought it would actually increase airflow since it drags in more air due to the fan

    Haven't heard the stick joke? Hmmm. As for the fan, the car engine basically becomes a giant high-powered vacuum at the air cleaner under full throttle. So it's like putting a small electric fan at the end of the vacuum hose: rather than speed up, you'd hear the vacuum motor slow and strain because the vacuum is more powerful than the fan, therefore the fan becomes a restriction. At anything over half throttle it hurts your top-end power (unless it's a very expensive, very high speed fan that spins as fast and costs as much as a turbo).

    Welcome to the forum: Day 1 and we've already increased your HP, lol.
    And, no, still don't see the pics...
