Introduction time~

Greetings from Missouri.
I'm a 25 year vetran of both owning as well as working on Toyota's. My Dad worked for the dealership and then opened his own shop. I started there my freshman year of high school. I've been lucky enough to spend a little time with nearly every different Toyota from 70's Celicas and Coronas to the Celica all-tracs to supercharged TC's. (Still a Toyota to me-haha)
I currently own a '97 Paseo Convertible, a '91 Cressida and just acquired a '92 Lexus SC300. The Paseo is stock and gets 42mpg, the Cressida has a little tune, header and high flow exhaust and gets 38mpg and the SC doesn't run just yet.
I have wanted a late model Supra, but they are so scarce in the Midwest, that I thought this would be a good alternative.
The thing I am now searching for of course is a stock twin turbo set up to squeeze a bit more happiness out of the engine.
I am also searching for an '85 GTS to replace the one I let go and have regretted since~

I currently run Wise Speed Shop and Elite Pro Streets, so if anyone has any questions-I will do my best to answer them.

Thanks~

Fn'A I built both my 76 Stingray and my ProStreet 81 Monte Carlo entirely from the parts over counter at Wise in South City on Hampton!

And I have to agree with you, the Supercharged tC is definitely a Toyota! ...it says so on my title.


WELCOME to TN!

sorry for stepping over a boundry

I did not mean to offend when I said where I worked. I was trying to legitimize my offer of assistance. It won't happen again. (>^_^<)

Lanativul - Don't worry about it, just don't start pimpin parts and site links all over TN and you're good.

I don't think Wise really caters to the Toyota crowd anyways. Last time I was in there it was geared more toward American muscle.
I use to run American Graffiti Auto Museum on S.Jefferson at 44 and we used your S.City location all the time.
