She's dirty as hell from the transport from Maine.
Body work is AMAZING.
Engine work is top notch.
I know that a few of you are going to hate me and hate the car but oh well. Tis my dream car and well I have what I wanted.
Oh and the CL is still staying. This car is just going to be for show (and for fun).

TT supra is a beautiful car. I think that is way overdone. The supra in generally was way before it's time and its an amazing car so I'll say very nice pickup, but personally I'd get some new shoes, redo that interior to start things off. How much you pick it up for?

Not my style at all, I think it looks ridiculous.... but definitely props to you if that's what you've wanted, and it does look like the body work was done with quality, so enjoy!!

A bit steep but with whats done to it, I'd consider it a steel.. 32k
I'll get the specs on the motor in a bit with prices or parts
And the whole damn car is molded. Not a line anywhere.

my bad I meant "in general" and 
at 32K... Shit I would have just used that 32K sold the Cl used that money towards 09 skyline. Looks like quality bodywork tho' just not my taste. nonetheless supra's are f**kn beasts. further plans for it?

Future plans
-Suspension is a must.
-Single Turbo Conversion
-Different rims with a 6-8 inch lip in the rear
-Re-do the trunk (interior)
-Change some stuff on the dash
=Gauge location
=Screen in Steering wheel
=And some other things that I have written down
-re-upholster the seats
-Possible repaint years down the road
I got all of the stock engine parts from the car and damn were they heavy... the crank itself weighs over 100lbs. Was replaced with one 1/3 the weight.

I'll have DoubleShot come by soon so he can attest to it. He will be here shortly to see this thread...
And honestly, when you roll the windows up and take off the top... car just gets a new look to it.
Every time I see it, I just want to get in it and drive it but long behold, I cant. No plates and no way in hell is it getting out of my driveway at the current height... No possible way other than MAYBE on some boards to even out the ditch at the bottom.

I cleaned the tips with some chrome cleaner and it looks much better now. I'll post pics tomorrow after I wash the car and clean it up 100% (might take 12 hours or so haha)

Wow I can't WAIT to see this thing in person... I'll probably be over tomorrow! From the pics it looks great minus the white trim inside, but otherwise awesome. I'll call you tomorrow before I have my car towed to my friend's shop.

my friend had a street supra he converted to a single turbo pushing around 9 to the wheels. The pull was god-like so have fun w/ it. Def. need to put a single exhaust on it though, I think they look best on supras

I like the color, and if it is a 2jzgte, the car itself. However, everything else is waaaaay overdone. I don;t feel the monitors, headlights, or the rear hatch itself. That just makes it look like a Del Sol to me for some reason. Look into some OEM parts for the car and a single large turbine and you should be good to go.
I would DEFINITELY LOSE THE EYEBROWS AND THAT PASSENGER SIDE HEAD LIGHT. Looks like crap to me. Also, is the hood the trd widebody hood?
But, if you love the car, screw whatever i say and congrats on the purchase, but you paid WAY too much for that car.

I talked with the previous owner and the engine builder and they told me the same figure on what the engine can hold.
The compression was bumped up to about 9.5-10:1
With the stock turbo's its going to max at 15-18psi
With a single turbine and correct tuning, it can handle a max of about 35 or so psi... with a possibility for more. (have to look into this)
I need to get my CL on the runners to see what numbers that thing is pushing and at the same time get this thing is as is and not moded any more to get a base figure. THEN work it up more.
Either way, this car is just a toy. Def not street legal in many ways with the most noticeable of them being the lack of airbags. but in their place a screen was put in and gauges with an air vent
Still love my CL!!! Got all the way to Maine and back without a snag. At 85 MPH, I was getting 25-26 MPG. And here is the kicker. At 55-60 MPH, I was getting around 36 MPG.. I know this seems high as hell but I calculated it a few times..
I was getting 250 miles before half tank
Currently its a twin. Will be changed in a little bit to a single

With that hole in the headlight looks like its a single turbo, but might be wrong..
