Dad just got home from the auction and took me for a test drive since i dont know how to drive a manual. Dang the thing flies. Bone stock, garaged. I'm the 3rd owner and 87k miles on it. Everything is clean, interior, exterior, it's red. 88 Supra Turbo targa top 5-speed. Dang, i'm afraid i'm gonna kill myself in it.

Don't have any yet. I will get some though.



However i do feel like a bit of a bastard as it has pistons and is almost the exact opposite of an rx-7.

Just be aware that it has limitations.... and don't be in a hurry to find out what they are, i.e. "what is it's top speed?" and "can it hang on in a 25 mph curve in the rain at 90 mph?". Preserve the mystique. It's kind of like getting to know a cute chick before you bang her. It's safer that way.

Yeah, and don't turn the boost up. The head or block (can't remember which) has a habbit of splitting somewhere low (but above stock settings - I wanna say 10psi). Read that somewhere.
