Supra enthusiast trying my hand with an AW11 (56k warning)

suprarx7nut · 01-06-2009, 03:54 AM

Hey guys and gals! Happy to join another enthusiast forum!

I'm a supra enthusiast looking to have some cheap fun with an AW11.

Pics of AW11 soon to come, but here's my current DD:

Old Supra which I flipped as a summer project. Learned a lot and got to drive a fast car. All for a profit!

i love ma70's. I had 2, but you havnt truly driven a supra until you drive a mk2 with a nasty 7mgte swap

mr220v · 01-06-2009, 02:32 PM

^Why 7mgte? I would think you'd go straight for the 1/2jzgte?

Ya, I love the MA70's, but my god are they heavy...

I bet a mk2 would be a blast with a powerful motor.

Welcome aboard... Very nice car indeed. My cousin is a supra enthusiast himself. i think his screen name on supra forum(s) is (supraholic) or somethingl ike that. he had a 91turbo white one stolen and currently owns 92turbo auto converted to manual black. Maybe you've seen it around the forums...

Is that Miguel? Or Manny? I don't visit supraforums too often, IMO, it's poorly run and hard to get good info out of. I strongly prefer supramania.

The car was stock. I just restored it. The project was not to make it a dream car, but rather bring it back to life. It hadn't run for 2 years before me.

I'm in my senior year of college and this isn't going to be my main car. Most my money will be going to the mk3, so I have limited funds. Hence the aw11.

yeah, my cousin goes every year... He tries to compete on every event or something just like what you saw on that site (Dyno challenge)

Preference. Easy to work on. It's a turbo truck engine, so there is gobs of torque on tap and in all honesty, i think it's a better engine for making streetable power.
