89 Supra/97 Corolla owner saying hi

[geougebv]

Hello all!
I'm around Richmond, VA and have owned several MKIII Supras(3 drivers, 2 parts) for about 10 years. My most recent is a 89 turbo targa I picked up in non-running condition with an automatic tranny. I did a engine build, converted it to manual, and swapped the interior and upgrades from my former 88. Right now I'm running it at 15psi and wishing I had some wider wheels.

I also recently replaced my old daily driver (97 accent) with a 97 Corolla CE. I bought it in non-driveable condition with a bad auto trans. After pulling an auto tranny from a local junk yard and installing it to realize it was nearly dead as well(and realizing how much that blasted 3spd kills performance), I decided to go the safe route and convert it to manual. So I went back with my friend, who is also an 89 Supra owner, to get the conversion parts from a Geo Prizm and put them on and all has been good so far! I bought the car for $1300 with 110k on it and invested about $400(new clutch, conversion parts, new axle, oil...) and some blood getting it going. I'm happy with it and its definately an improvment over my old DD.
