Hey guys, just thought I'd introduce myself here, just signed up, not sure how much I'll be around, heh, I'm already spread pretty thin . (6500 posts at Supraforums.com, Admin at Supramania.com, plus Club4AG and Dori-Kaze, heh).

But I may be around a bit.


My two main Toyotas of choice (my Camry is my winter beast, heh) are my 88 Supra and 86 Corolla GT-S.

A few pics to start off.


My Supra:








It has a Lexus AFM, 550cc injectors, 3" downpipe, HKS MHG, and 93,000 miles. I have many many cosmetic mods, etc, some good Supra eyes may be able to spot some of them. Also have Tein Flex coilovers. My dad bought the car about 8 years ago, and it's been our project car since then.

My Corolla GT-S:










It's basically stock, though I've done some small stuff, and have done quite a bit since these pics too, I've replaced the climate control with a new one from Toyota, added cruise control, and have power windows on the way. I've changed some of the wiring, the interior lights now fade out after the door is closed and the buzzer to remind you the key is still in has been replaced with a beeping module from a Supra.




I've modified the car to have a JDM wiper switch, it has a 9-position adjustable intermittant setting, versus the stock one, which is a single speed.




The car is going to get a 92-94 2-DIN CD Player/Cassette deck from a Supra/Celica/MR2/Camry, as it will match everything else very nicely, I've already changed over the stereo wiring to the 87+ Toyota connectors.

It has a lot more history than the Supra, my uncle bought it new in 1986 from Stampede Toyota (from salesman Todd Brown, now the General Manager). I still shop there for almost all of my Toyota parts unless I can save a lot by buying it from the USA. It was serviced at Stampede Toyota up until 2002 when my uncle stopped driving it, and parked it behind his house, I've always wanted the car, since I could remember (I was born in June 1986), and bought it off of him last December, and started restoring it. That's sort of where it sits now, it has a lot of rust on the rear quarter panels, I've got new fenders from Toyota, a new trunlid, I'm going to be buying a new hood from Toyota as well. It's getting the royal treatment. I have new door decals for it after I paint it, and am getting replicas for the trunk as Toyota discontinued the Silver ones.

Here are some historic pics of the Corolla:

Here's my all-time favourite pic of my car, with me and my uncle, in Banff, Alberta in 1992 (You can see my dad's old 1986 MK2 Supra beside it ):


The car is in my garage right now all stripped down, getting fixed up and ready for new paint for next spring.


Well that's me, sorry for the huge post. I know a lot of crap, mostly useless for general living, but great for Toyota forums. So I hope you guys like having me around.
