🔧 BUILD My MKIV Supra build-ish thread...big boy 3.4L motor time

General Information

Most of you that have access to FB have probably already seen this but I did part ways with my Turbo TA yesterday. I've owned that car for over 10 years and took it from completely stock to a monster that is easy to drive and fun to thrash. I will miss that car but where I am in my life is I'd like to slow it down a bit and just have some cruisers and the TA deserves better than what I'm will to do with it. I think it's got everything to be competitive in the right hands. The new owner is a good friend of mine and lives less than a mile away from me so we will be seeing each others cars often that's for sure so it's not gone gone. This was not an easy decision but a combination of right place, right time, right person and right price as I had to come up with some cash on the difference. I would never sell this car normally as I don't think I could trust someone to not hurt themselves in it, but the new owner is more than capable of handling it and I'll be able to still see it perform at the track albeit from the sidelines and not in the drivers seat.

Edit: I'm going to turn this into a mini build thread and document some progress

Dude those pants....what year did you drag them out of :rofl:
I was hoping someone would catch that :rofl:

They are Jnco pants made out of the same material that basket ball shorts are made out of. They are super comfortable and I bought them around 1998 from hot topic as one does in the 90s :bowrofl:

Looks great. How does she drive?
I drove for about 10-15 miles yesterday and it’s super smooth shifting. Just feels better overall although the throws are a little longer it doesn’t have the notchy feel the regular magnum and sikky shifter had. Much improved overall and feel like I can beat on the car without the rear becoming a concern
