You are bidding on a 1988 Toyota Supra with a 5.3 lm7 swap from a 03 Avalanche.The body of this car is pretty straight and the interior is in pretty good shape as well. The car started off as a automatic car and was converted to a 5speed. The mileage on the cluster is unknown if it's true or not. Car is a Targa top.
This is a running and driving car. It just needs alittle more tlc to be finished complete. Very few lsx style swapped supras are running around. Everyone jumps on the 1jz or 2jz for supra swaps state side. This car averages about 13mpg in the city. Don't know about the hway as i have no reason to use to for my commute to work. I've had the car for almost a month and have put 400+ miles on it with no hesitation what so ever. It starts everytime! This would make someone a badass project to finish. This thing only needs a turbo and cam setup to unlock the full potential of the 5.3. This car also has working a/c, heat, powersteering and cruise control.
Currently the 5,3 has a custom intake with a k&n filter, ls1 intake manifold, sanderson block hugger headers, custom exhaust to a dynomax muffler., fbody oil pan tapped with a return fitting for a turbo setup, custom motor mounts and trans mounts, b&m fuel pressure regulator with gauge, The computer running it all is a 98 Fbody pcm tuned with hp tuners. The car dynoed 277/315 in may of this year. The 5.3 is mated to a tremec tko 600(rated to 600 ftlbs) 5speed. The trans alone is over 2k new without a bell housing. It is shifted with a mgw short throw shifter It is utitilizing a heavy duty 6 puck clutch. The driveshaft is a custom ls1 driveshaft with a toyota rear. The rear end is a 4.30.1 geared lsd differential from a 91 na car. It's rolling on 1991 supra wheels. Tires are falken on the rear and ripken on the front. The brakes are brand new advance silvers with cross drilled and slotted rotors and stainless brake lines. It has aftermarket traction arms to help minimize wheel spin and hopping. The radio is a older high end clarion with a built in harddrive, sd slot and aux slot. Not for sure on the speakers.

Car is not perfect, but has alot of time devoted to it by the person who built it and i have spent alittle time on it staightening out some small things. I just don't have the funds to continue with it anymore. The car is for sale as is. Everything i know that needs some tlc is listed. Feel free to price how much it would cost you to build this exact setup. My reserve price is set reasonably for this type of swap in a supra. The car is being sold locally as well and i have the right to end the auction if it sells.
The attached photobucket link has every pic from the build process of this car, the donor car for the interior and wheels and some recent pics. It is under the 88 supra album. LSX badge is no longer on the front end.
Happy Bidding

The Toyota GT86 Shooting Brake Concept is real
Fri, May 6 2016As a two-door wagon the shooting brake exists at the unusual but captivating intersection between practicality and sportiness. This Toyota GT86 Shooting Brake Concept is no different – it's a standard GT86, with no mechanical alterations save the grafted-on wagonette roof and hatch. It's fully functional, too, having turned some laps on Toyota's test tracks. It even has the blessing of Tetsuya Tada, the father of the Toyota 86 and its Subaru BRZ and (now rebadged) Scion FR-S, who's been protective of the original GT86 concept to the point of strenuously resisting any serious power upgrades. This isn't the first shooting brake concept we've seen from the Toyobaru twins, but it's the first Toyota-badged one. Subaru brought the Cross Sport Design Concept to the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show. So how did the GT86 Shooting Brake Concept happen? The story, as Toyota tells it, involves the company's Australian design team. They created a 1/4-scale clay model of the shooting brake, and showed it to Tada when he visited in late 2014. He was so impressed, Toyota says, that he had his hand-picked craftsman in Japan bring the idea to full-scale fruition. The Australian design team, in the outdoor-loving spirit of their country, immediately thought that the longer roof would be perfect for carrying surfboards and other unwieldy sports equipment. And it would be. Meanwhile, Tada and the rest of the Toyota corporation want to tamp down expectations. It's a design study, the company says, and it's just "testing the waters." Toyota won't rule anything out, and Mazda recently surprised everyone with the MX-5 RF's unusual and attractive targa model. Maybe in a world where Mazda felt confident enough to introduce the RF, Toyota can be daring enough to bring a sporty wagon to the masses. We can hope, and maybe if we all make enough noise together Toyota will make it a reality.

Recharge Wrap-up: Japan supports hydrogen, Fools against fuel cells, BlueIndy controversy
Wed, Jun 25 2014Japan hopes to expand the use of hydrogen energy by subsidizing fuel cell vehicles, according to The Japan News. The trade ministry plans to include the subsidies in its 2015 budget to coincide with the expected launch of Toyota's Fuel Cell Vehicle and the Honda FCEV hydrogen car. By jump-starting purchases of hydrogen cars, Japan hopes that innovation and mass-production will get a boost and the cost of fuel cell vehicles will be competitive with gasoline-powered models by the year 2025. Japan plans to have 100 hydrogen fueling locations operating by March 2016, and wants to halve the cost of building those stations by 2020. The amount of the subsidies has not yet been set. Investing website The Motley Fool isn't quite as optimistic as Japan about hydrogen cars, and is instead bullish about Tesla Motors. The Fool points to Tesla's strong stock performance, and predicts future growth will come from more car models in the future - starting with the Model X - as well as the company's proposed Gigafactory for manufacturing batteries. If Tesla's charging technology continues to catch on, that only improves its financial prospects. The article has some harsh words, however, for hydrogen: "Fuel cells are an inferior automotive technology and for fundamental efficiency, cost, and infrastructure reasons always will be mere compliance gimmicks." Yeesh. As part of a program to build charging stations for the Indianapolis EV carsharing service BlueIndy, utility company Indianapolis Power & Light (IPL) wants to raise its electricity rates an average of 44 cents a month per residential customer to help pay for its share of the project. State consumer advocacy agency Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor and consumer watchdog group Citizens Action Coalition oppose the plan, according to Greenfield, Indiana's Daily Reporter. The BlueIndy program, which is a partnership between the city of Indianapolis and battery manufacturer Bollore Group, will provide up to 500 cars for rent at 25 charging sites around the city. Those who oppose the rate hike call IPL a monopoly and say the amount of the increase is not allowed under state law and that the program wouldn't benefit working class and low-income citizens. A hearing regarding IPL's proposal is scheduled for July 23. A Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV will run the 2014 Asia Cross Country Rally, Hybrid Cars reports. The rally covers 1,367 miles of woods, swamps and mountains from Thailand to Cambodia.
130,000 Toyota Tundra pickups recalled over airbag issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Toyota is announcing a recall for about 130,000 examples of the 2014 Tundra Tundra pickup in Crew-Max Cab and Double Cab configurations.
According to the company, the "garnish on the center pillars" inside the trucks might not have been installed correctly. If the vehicle were in an accident, the side curtain airbags could deploy in the wrong shape. Toyota says that it's not aware of any crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this potential problem.
To fix the issue, the pickups will have their interior center pillars inspected, and if faulty, the pieces will be replaced. Obviously, this will be done at no cost to owners. Scroll down to read the full announcement.
