Summary (BACK TO TOP)

I was pleasantly surprised to find this Supra at all, since Alpine Silver cars represent only a very small proportion of the Supra hardtop TT population.  I never thought that I'd actually find an Alpine Silver 1994 hardtop TT model that I could afford, but I stumbled across this car the day I received a deposit on the sale of my old 1995 hardtop.  I protected myself much more than usual when buying this particular Supra due to the high mileage (117,900 when I bought it).  However, the car had always been bone stock and the compression was very solid (155 across all cylinders) and a leakdown test also came back with favorable results (10% per cylinder).  Driving this particular car cross country from Wayne, NJ to North Bend, Washington was a real treat for me due to the comfort and civility of the car, and my long standing dream of owning an Alpine Silver hardtop TT was finally realized.  Although it is my fourth Supra, it is my third hardtop TT, and I'm optimistic that third time is the charm! 

My short term goals for this particular car call for improved handling via suspension modifications, increased power with the usual barrage of bolt-ons and stock twins, and careful but methodical weight reduction.  From a medium term perspective, I plan to add a small single turbo, augment the fuel system slightly, and decrease rotational and static weight in a calculated manner.  My end goal is a 3150 pound Supra (light fuel load) that can out-accelerate, out-handle, and out-brake the stock Supra equivalent by a significant margin.  Think Japanese Corvette Z06 and you'll be on the right track!

Previous Curb Weight = 3211 pounds with old BPU modifications and 3/8 tank of fuel.
Previous Dyno Results = 305 rwhp, 308 rwtq SAE corrected (bone stock, summer 2004)
                                          373 rwhp, 402 rwtq SAE corrected (BPU-, spring 2005)
                                          400 rwhp, 425 rwtq SAE corrected (BPU, spring 2005)
Current Drag Times = N/A, but likely slow with me behind the wheel on street tires!  =)
