Default New to Tampa Racing...

Well I guess I could start off by introducing myself. The name is Shawn and am the proud owner of a 1987 Toyota Supra. Just got this car a few months back and I've been working on it and getting it back to par. So far it is completely stock but I plan on some mods in the near future when the car is good to go. My goals are about 400hp, not too much and not too little. I'm kinda new to the whole car scene but I have always loved the Toyota Supra. My first car was a 94 Acura Integra LS automatic but after blowing the headgasket I decided to sell that one and finally get the car I've wanted from the get go. I do miss my integra though and will get one again one day. I've been a member for a few months now but never had the time to get on here for I spend all my time on supramania.com researching lol. Well looking forward to being apart of this community.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

bah....In my eyes its the best and thats all that matters ;P

Just can't wait to start modifying but first things first. Gotta get my injectors sent out for cleaning, and my parts to come in the mail on Wed or Thurs. After that I gotta find out why 2nd gear is dragging butt. If it means auto tranny rebuild time then that means time to go r154 5 speed and scrap the auto tranny hahaha.
