Tough times are ahead. A brand new car is not in the cards. My new (to me) 16 year old Accord serves the purpose extremely well. And it's paid off!

Dam, you gotta love the Supra. The sound, the look, speed. What a Japanese sports car is all about. Simply incredible car. Tuneability.... off the charts. I need one.

Yep, the Supra (and the Cressida) used Toyota's "M" series motors. This has the 7M-GTE.

I dunno, but it sounds painful almost like his clutch-plate got jammed, it almost sounded like he was dragging something.

It's a nice car, don't get me wrong but the "wo-wo-woosss" sound everytime he changes gears makes it sound wimpy. Shoot, where are my keyes to my Z06!

Re: First tests of a high tuned Supra *Video*

It's a very nice car, and the engine/exhaust sounds awesome. The BOV sounds like ass in it tho, I've heard much better sounding BOVs before.

It's the first tests guys. So they weren't finished with it. That's why they have the laptop in there.

Oh no, the 7M's were in the Supra MKIIIs. They were also plagued with head gasket problems. The one in the Supra MKIV TT is the 2JZ-GTE, while the N/A version is the 2JZ-GE, used in many Lexi.
