You should get some auto-bot emblems to replace the Chrysler ones. :P

I put "Autobot Edition" on the rear hatch, and had an Autobot head on the Chrysler symbol but it flew off.  Gonna put one on the metal on the passenger dash too

My 86.5 Supra, about to get paint.  Sent it in for a lot of reworking (mostly exterior, note the molded in kits).  Among other things, it got:
B&G 1.5" drop springs
MKW 18" wheels
Nitto Tires (unsure of dimensions atm)
Monroe Struts (or shocks, whatever)
Full air intake replacement (minus a sensor)
Full exhaust replacement (3" all the way back, GReddy parts)
Brakeperformance.com brand rotors, slotted
Ultimax pads
A 'hellacious' (as spoken by the mechanic) tightening up and tuning (had some pretty bad oil leak issues, no thank you) including lots of gasket replacements, seals, better plugs/wires...just y'know...tune up stuff.

I bought it from him last March, but Kyles Supra is an 89 turbo targa. He had 2, and I happily took it off his hands.

Hmmmm......I have several vehicles. Unfortunately I don't have pics of most of them......some aren't even worth taking a picture of lol. I will try to dig some pics up and post em later.
List of vehicles currently owned from oldest to newest......
1968 Ford Galaxy.....all original, even has original paint. Garage kept since new.
1973 Pontiac Ventura....for those that don't know...its similar to a Nova. 400 (6.6 liter for you ricer guys) engine with a 4 speed.
1974 Pontiac Ventura 350 engine with auto trans.
1981 Pontiac Trans Am 400/auto.....in a million pieces presently.
1987 Pontiac Firebird 307 Olds engine and auto trans.
1994 Ford Crown Vic...was previously a cop car in Wake county NC.
1995 Ford T-Bird V8/auto.
2001 Nissan Frontier 3.3 V6/5 speed.....one of only 3 vehicles I have owned that didn't have a V8 lol.

I hope me using the word "ricer" doesn't offend anyone. I don't mean it in any sort of derogatory way. I have nothing against 4cylinders or 6 cylinders, Asian or European cars nor people who enjoy making them go fast.

Well being an "old" man, I must say that I really like the  cars,Colin. I love the older better.
I love the Corps for those intangible possessions that cannot be issued: pride, honor, integrity, and being able to carry on the traditions for generations of warriors past.  [Cpl. Jeff Sornig, USMC; in Navy Times, November 1994]

Thanks...I prefer older cars too. Hopefully I will be puting different wheels on it sometime. It doesn't really look that good up close. I have always been the type that cares more about how it runs than how it looks.....lol.
