    • It's Whiteout Conditons!

      It's really snowing hard outside so it seems fitting that I should post about the Whiteout Supra! Supra 1.jpg

      This is a 1990 Supra Turbo 5 speed, Canadian Spec with Burgundy Leather interior.Because it is Canadian, it has daytime running lights and I guess it had some type of rust prevention coating at one time. The tires are Firestone Firehawk and are about 3 years old. It also has white 16" Sawthooth whees.

      20220305_160616.jpg
      20220304_121815.jpg
      The leather needs some conditioning and dyeing which I have started the process. The good news is that they are not ripped and cushions are in good shape. The leather hand brake cover needs to be repaired/replaced but it works and has no rips. The interior has a couple of loose trim pieces but nothing is broken. It has an aftermarket Kenwood head unit that has wireless Android Auto which is a big plus. The PO also gave me the original stereo with CD but it is not working right. My plan is to see if I can fix the unit but keep the Kenwood for now.

      20220305_100944.jpg

      The car has about 70,000 km or about 43,000 miles. It is also SUPER CLEAN! I mean you can eat off the drain wells! 20220305_102522.jpg 20220305_102534.jpg 20220305_100959.jpg

      All of the rubber trim is in great condition and looks almost new.20220305_102346.jpg

      There are some paint blemishes but nothing major. The headlights work as do their washers. The power antenna doesn't work that well but I hope to find a replacement for it. I even have the targa top cover for it!20220305_101322.jpg

      The engine is the 7M GTE rated at 232 hp and 254 lbft. It starts fine, no smoke and sounds great. I probably will need motor mounts for it and the AC will need to be recharged or converted to newer refrigerant. But no aftermarket mods which is great. The previous owner even bought a new battery just because it was 3 years old. He was a really nice guy that took great care of it.

      20220304_121607.jpg

      But he did something that I cannot forgive him for which is this:20220305_160510.jpg

      He put a stupid fart can exhaust on it!!! I can tell you that that car sounds nice but it is very obnoxious, loud drone when cruising is terrible, and it won't pass inspection! It will be remedied very soon.

      The other embarrassing item in the car is this:
      20220305_102623.jpg

      I've already unplugged it and will be chucking it out soon. I think it was installed during the 90s and it sounds terrible. They also cut a hole in the rear wood floor and carpet to fit the subwoofer. However, the previous owner gave me extra carpet and replacement wood floor to replace the modified one.

      The car drives straight, stops well, and shifts great. Doing the ball joints and control arms next week and probably exhaust too. Then paint correction and ceramic coating. Overall I really like the car and can't wait to have it all sorted out.

      Also forgot to thank @e90m3 @adamftw @Engineer-In-Motion and @LimitedTimeOnly for helping me find a PPI place in the below post. Thank you!

    • I went to check on the Range Rover and saw this...

      So I went to the shop that's working on fixing the numerous issues with the Range Rover Classic I bought and then spent two hours talking with the owner and walking around his auto repair compound. What you see is a series 1 Iso Grifo with a 327 at 400hp. The car was in Europe and still wears Swiss license plates. I have dreamed about seeing one for many years and to see one this close was amazing. I'm still giddy from it.

      Beautiful fall day for a drive. The car isn't perfect but sometimes it sure feels like it.

    • RE: Would it be cool if a Toyota Supra Convertible was produced?

      @genesis-haysenhox-dt It's called a BMW Z4. What would be great is if Toyota actually gave us a Toyota.

    • What did Krusty buy now?

      20220216_115845.jpg20220316_164116.jpg
      2022 HD Pan America Special. It has been a bike I really wanted to buy since it first came out but didn't want to pay the markup and don't like buying first year models. I'm not going to go nuts and go on trails but a few unpaved roads and fields are probably in its future. My goal is to take an off road course to learn how to get the most out of it.

      I will miss the ludicrous speed of the ZX14R but not its lack of rider comfort and wind noise. I'm selling it to another dealer tomorrow morning so if anyone wants to make an offer before 9am and pick it up, go for it. I'll be making a more detailed post on the PanAm once I have more seat time but so far it's been great. 20220316_164130.jpg

    • BMW Driver falls into a joke.

      As I was leaving the grocery store this morning, there was an older gentleman with a "M Motorsports" jacket in front of me as I'm exiting the store. The guy had a cart and the cart return was to the right of the exit. I'm following behind him and he stops and swings the cart to the right but I was far enough away to stop before he hit me. He does a little laugh and says he forgot to use his indicator and I without missing a beat say "You are a BMW driver." as I'm walking away. He then laughs even harder and we go on in opposite directions. I'm happy he had a sense of humor because there was a smidge of regret just after I said that but come on! That was way too good to pass up!

      Edit: Forgot to mention he had a Z3.

    • Looking/ buying a car today.

      I have...money in a box and a reservation for a car trailer with uhaul. Wish me luck oppo. I hope the car is as great as the pictures and PPI make it sound to be and the seller doesn't flake out. I'll be posting pictures once it's in hand. Haven't bought a car in a few years and this is very exciting! I'll be driving for two and a half hours so probably won't see pictures until noon EST.

    • New Exhaust on Supra and Visit to the OPPO Repair Shop (Pic Heavy)

      Had the HKS exhaust on the Supra finally installed and it now has a nice sound but without the terrible drone of the fart can exhaust it came with. It also looks like the stock exhaust and I'm really digging the look. Next is to replace the aftermarket sub with a newer one and then I'm going to enjoy the car as is for the time being. 20220418_182714.jpg

      On my way home, I finally felt worthy of stopping at the Most OPPO Auto Repair Place in the world! Let's begin!

      The owner was a really cool guy that goes all over the place finding these cars. I couldn't talk much with him but I'm going to try to return to get more information on the cars.
      I just realized that most of these cars could have been villains in Cars 2.

      I do want to buy one of those Fiats and that Renault. Both seem very cool.

    • RE: Unpopular Opinions: EV's... don't help the damn world.

      @Genesis_Haysenhox I don't know if it was intentional but excellent trolling. Let's see:

      1. Unpopular opinion, check
      2. Lack of references, check
      3. Misinformation, check
      4. Says change my mind but isn't will to, check
      5. Won't respond to posts with data and references, check.

      Well done good sir.

      @ZHP-Sparky-the-5th Yup. I don't see how people look up to this guy. His whole fortune is basically made from government subsidies but he then talks about less government? But it's okay for government to mess with a person's identity or reproductive rights?

      @Jarrett I do think there is that also. However, I think most of his motivation is to stick it to the Dems.

    • RE: DITCPL (Costco parking lot); bonus Kia about to be KIA!

      @ash78 I love Costco but shopping there takes a lot of effort. I'm always trying to dodge someone flying out of an isle and have no understanding of shopping right of way rules. I do like the self checkout though and I try to get to the gas station early in the morning to beat the lines. I also think Tuesday morning seems to be the slowest day in terms of people at the store but not sure if it's just when I've gone.
