There will be a Mk2 mini-meet at my house this Saturday, May 10th.
It will be a working meet. Several people have already said they will be here.
We will be pulling a blown motor out of my burgandy 86 and dropping in a new one. People are welcome to work on other Supra related projects on their own cars as well.

Please reply to let me know if you plan on attending, by emailing me, so I can send you directions.

Looking forward to seeing some Mk2's in my driveway this Saturday!

I just wanted to thank everyone that came over on Saturday to help me do the motor swap on my burgandy 86.
I finished everything up today and the motor started right up. No problems at all.
A big thank you goes out to my local Supra club brothers: Tim, Rob, Alex, Ben, Nick, George, Bob, and my non-Supra buddy Andrew. And thanks to Phil for loaning me an engine hoist for the weekend. What a great bunch of guys we have here in the Toronto Supra Club.
I'm looking forward to driving the car and should have it out to the next local Supra event.

Hey Chad, I still need to get the burgandy car safetied and emission tested... Hopefully I can get that done next week. THEN, I'll have a hard time deciding which car to drive. My poor Acura is gonna feel left out, even worse than last summer. And I drove it so little last summer, that the battery went dead a couple of times!!! :lol:

Mark, make sure you get that guy to come out. We need to get all the local Mk2 enthusiasts to show up for the events this summer. It would be sooo nice if the Mk2's could outnumber the Mk3's, even for just one event....

Nick, my next project might be a road trip for yet another Mk2! I'll give more details next week.

 

[Dean]

Nick,

OK, let's get some friends to drive all our extra Supras to an event. I'll need a few volunteers to help me get my whole fleet there. It sure would be nice to see all the Mk2's out to a meet at the same time.

Road trip - should be picking up the new one on Thursday. Woohoo!! I can't wait!!!

 

[Dean]

Chad,

I'll be parking it behind my garage. Lots of room!

The neighbours WERE giving me some funny looks as Tim and I unloaded the new one yesterday! And we unloaded it without starting it up!! Wait until they hear it run!!! Whoa!!! :shock: Nothing like the sound of headers leading to a pipe that exits under the passenger door!!! :lol:

For now, you can see a couple pics of "The Beast" at the following address.

Then click on the album called "1982 Supra Race Car".
There are lots of other car pics in those photo albums as well, if you want to browse around.

I'll be adding pics to my website soon.

Chad,

This is a road racing car. More details can be found in a thread I started in the General Chat area, asking if anyone races their Mk2.

I'll give the whole story on the car soon, after I get to check everything out. That may take a few more days.

"Finding" more Supras

I didn't even go looking for the last one, it came looking for me! Someone saw my website and got in touch with me about the car. It's a pretty cool story, I'll tell you all about it the next time we get together.

I'm looking forward to racing it soon!

By the way, I've put up a bunch of new pictures of the car and it's modded parts at my Yahoo photo album site. Check them out at
http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/deanjanderson and look in the album called "1982 Supra Race Car".

Chad,

EFI Checker is a Toyota diagnostic tool. Part number 09991-00100-C. It tests stuff like AFM, water and air temp sensors, TPS, starter, ignition, injectors and O2 sensor. Looks pretty cool.

New intake piping would be nice, but it will need to fit under the GAB bar. Not much room there, it's a very tight fit as it is. Cold air intake will be easy to do.

YES, the passenger seat is available for rides!!! Getting in to the car is a very tight fit with the roll cage, but if someone wants a ride, just let me know!!

 

[Dean]

Chad and Mark,

If you can fit in the pass seat, I'll take you for a ride. I don't think either one of you will fit in the driver's seat. It's really tight. I just fit.

I'm hoping to get it on the road in time for the next Toronto Supra Club Meet next Friday.

Some better pictures of my newest Supra can be seen on pbase at

You can see some large pics of the car and it's mods. These pics are much clearer than the ones I previously posted on Yahoo Photos.
