🔧 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

All that was trash. The idle screw would always back out and crank the idle wide open or the car would die, take your pick. The cable was always floppy. Its been awhile now, but there was a reason it was all shit....I dont remember.

willizm has far deeper pockets than me :rofl:
Pockets ain't that deep with 3 kids and a wife with a screamin' amazon addiction to support :rofl:
btw, that is a 1200 hp capable clutch. So we all can assume there are other plans coming down the pipeline as well. :s00ls:

Maybe, but you know I like to overbuild sometimes. :)
