Actually got it a couple days ago, but I haven't had a chance to share the story. My wife, the troopper and Supra fan she is...drove with me all the way down to Kansas City from Duluth, MN to get it!
The Supra is a '85 Super Deep Red P-type, 120k miles. Interior is near perfect and paint is really nice too, minus a little checking on the driver's side door only. 16-inch rims wearing 245/45zr's on the rear and 225/50zr's on the front...tires are Continental ContiSport.
I previously have owned two other mkII's, both were quite used by the time I got my hands on them. This one however has really been taken care of and other than needing a new driver's side door-lock assembly...everything works! I mean everything too, console map light, fog lights, cruise, a/c, and the windows close nice and tight too! Anyway, on to the driving stories:
First of all, motor is mostly stock except for a HKS mega-flow and cat-back exhaust...cat is removed too, gotta love MN and no-inspections :lol: It's definitely got more push than a stock setup, especially at higher RPM's. It's lowered a little courtesy of the KONI shocks and KYR shocks and struts. It's also got the thicker KONI sway bars and I plan on getting the strut tower braces that the good folks here are making. There are a couple riced-up Hondas and Neons in town that have a good idea of what the back end looks like, at least until I pulled too far away on them, but this car really shows it's stuff at 70-90mph and it's glued to the ground in the turns too.
This car gets lots of looks! It's nice enough to look almost new and there are so few of them up north that a lot of people ask me if it's some sort of new design! I haven't had a chance to do much racing with it because I've only had it a couple days, I'm going to enjoy this one and not beat it too hard though...until the turbo goes on anyway :wink: This car came with just about everything I need to go 5mgte from a mkIII, turbo has no shaft play and the intercooler and other parts look really nice.
There is just a little rust, it will be attacked though in the next year.
You all have a friend in Duluth, MN...I'll post a few pics as soon as I get a chance!
