39691, My new car (new to me)
Posted by 2GNT_95eclipse, Apr-18-09 10:34 PM
Well..... Its time to say goodbye to the cursed NER Car. i traded the guy straight up for this. http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/cto/1113808148.html Its fast as hell. It really puts my car to shame on acceleration. He wanted to get rid of the supra because he is moving to AZ and needs a car that gets good mileage. Please do not flame or anything, I am just tired of the constant maintenance of this cursed to hell car :dark I will always love my 2G but since im only 17 and dont have any money, I just cant do it anymore.

Hey Joe I got your message this morning - I was out partying in SD last night. ha ha, just when I thought we finally FIXED everything that could go wrong on that car - oh well. Admit it you just wanted boost :9 Well hopefully no more need to run 'errands' to home depot and make use of the on-display vices

that supra should be fast, be careful :thumbsup

that's still a pretty stout engine. it'll take a few more psi }(

My RWD 'yota won't go as fast as yours but it weighs quite a bit less :P

Yea i can post pics but not now (on meh phone) It is an 89 with a clean body. Ive read online that the 7m suffers from head gasket problems so i dont want to push it too hard. more psi= bigger injec.

Yea i know its kinds heavy but it still moves fairly well. The 89 Supra Turbo model came with all the upgrades like 5 way adj seats, power mirrors, pwr windows, etc etc.... The Targa top is really nice to have down in SoCal since its been 105+ here. There is no a/c tho, I never even used it when i had it in the 2G so its not a problem for me.

I love driving our 914 with the targa top off during the hot weather here. great airflow and no roof to hold the heat in. Epic

the only problem you may run into is that the word "targa" is actually German for "leaky" :7

I was wondering if it stood for New Edge Racing. There really wasnt even one kit together. The idea was actually mine in the beginning. I'm the one who had RevHard fab the manifold for the 420a, I'm the one who got all the parts together, etc. We only had one kit fabbed up, and Shawn split town after that along with 900 cash that belonged to me. I was the first one to get fucked by him, and it eventually led me to my current bad credit situation due to parts I rang up on MY credit card.
