Default New year, New Project and 1000k miles in 1 day.

I just got back last night.

We picked it up in Denver Friday afternoon and I got home last night, 1000+ miles.

1995 Supra non-turbo automatic Baltic Blue!

125k maintained miles.

Here are some pics I took along the way.

10 Degrees outside. Raton Pass, New Mexico..up in the mountains.


Raton Pass again


Texline City, Texas...only 9-10hrs to go.


Sweetwater Texas, electric windmill farms. You can actually stand up and walk inside the blades...they are very large.


Back home...I can't believe how much bigger the Sc300 seems than the Supra. Now I know where the additional 3-400lbs went into the Sc300. The SC is dropped on Eibachs, btw.


The engine bay...the bra was only installed for the ride down.



It needs a wash and detail badly now..

I'm sure I will at some point, but for now it'll remain stock unless the trans goes out then it's on. I'm either going to swap over the Soarer R154 box thats currently in the Lex, and put a Supra W58 into the Lex or buy a JDM 6spd swap next year for the Supra..not sure. I will definitely swap the TT auto diff from the Lex as it doesn't make enough torque as it sits to justify the 3.76 gears.

It's deceiving because it sits lower in the chassis from what I can gather. The big difference is how they made the tail end of the Supra narrower than the middle of its rear quarter panels.
