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

Audi, Toyota land on MIT's list of 50 Most Disruptive Companies
Sat, 23 Feb 2013MIT Technology Review, a magazine all about innovation, has announced its list of the 50 most disruptive companies in 2013, and both Audi and Toyota made the cut. While the term "most disruptive" may carry a negative connotation in most uses (especially in the classroom), the acknowledgement in this case is an accolade, signifying that the company is at the forefront of its industry. In a nutshell, a disruptive company is a business whose innovations force other businesses to alter their strategic direction.
Audi made the list for "pushing autonomous cars closer to fruition with a laser-scanning road detector that fits in a vehicle's front grille," and Toyota for "expanding its dominance of the hybrid-car market with its new plug-in version of the Prius." Click on the image above to be taken to the original graphic at MIT Technology Review, where clickable colored squares reveal information about each of the 50 winners, compiled from a variety of industries.
2015 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro
Thu, 23 Oct 2014Despite the earnest efforts of Japanese automakers like Toyota and Nissan, the American pickup truck scene remains wholly dominated by the likes of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler. This is not news. Part of the reason is because of the sheer number of variants offered by US automakers - everything from work-spec base trucks to house-leveling heavy duty models can be had, with a seemingly endless combination of engines, cab sizes, bed lengths and trim levels. It's a hugely profitable business, and though the Japanese automakers still offer competitive fullsize trucks, in terms of sheer volume, they simply don't compete.
But American pickups aren't just about work; there's a huge play aspect involved, too. Look at the desert-storming Ford F-150 SVT Raptor or the Ram Power Wagon - these butch trucks are built with superb off-road prowess in mind, and Detroit's Japanese rivals have once again largely been silent in this segment. Until now.
Introduced at the 2014 Chicago Auto Show, Toyota now offers the TRD Pro series of models that, in addition to the crazy-orange Tundra seen here, includes the smaller Tacoma pickup and 4Runner SUV. And this isn't just some pretty appearance package, either - there's honest-to-goodness capability baked into all of the TRD Pro models. Intriguing, for sure, so I recently spent a weekend with the big boy Tundra to see what's what.
Legal approach in $1.2 billion Toyota settlement could impact handling of GM recall cases
Wed, 26 Mar 2014In the past, if an automaker did something wrong, they were usually prosecuted by the US government through something called the TREAD Act. Short for Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability and Documentation Act, it basically requires automakers to report recalls in other countries, along with any and all serious injuries or deaths, to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Failing to report or attempting to conceal anything when there's been a death or serious injury constitutes a criminal liability. The idea is that this setup puts the onus on manufacturers to keep NHTSA apprised of safety related issues before they become a problem in the US, thereby allowing the regulator to better protect consumers.
In theory, it sounds like a relatively airtight set of rules for dealing with misbehaving automakers. That didn't stop the US Department of Justice from ignoring TREAD in its prosecution of Toyota's handling of the unintended acceleration recall, though. The result of this new approach, which charged Toyota with wire fraud, was a $1.2 billion settlement. Now, the wire-fraud approach could be used for the expected case between the US government and General Motors, based on the statements of Attorney General Eric Holder, who specifically mentioned "similarly situated companies" when discussing Toyota.
