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

Toyota U2 urban utility concept inspired by Maker Faire [w/video]
Tue, 09 Sep 2014There's a quiet revolution happening in US cities. People want to mix an urban lifestyle with a connection to nature and appreciation for craftsmanship. The result of all of this is folks pursuing things as varied as urban farming, home brewing and the whole maker movement. Toyota thinks it has the perfect concept for these intrepid customers with its new Urban Utility concept that it is debuting during a panel discussion hosted by Make: magazine in San Francisco and debuting publicly on September 20 at the World Maker Faire in New York City.
The Urban Utility concept can best be described as a modern take on the old panel van. Designers from Toyota's Calty Design Research center in California interviewed Maker Faire participants to find out what its users want from a novel vehicle like this. "Toyota saw an opportunity for a new approach to an urban vehicle based on increasing re-urbanization of our cities and urban drivers' desire for flexibility, fun and maneuverability," said Kevin Hunter president of Calty.
On the outside, the Urban Utility doesn't really scream for attention. It's meant to meet users "desire for greater utility but a smaller vehicle footprint," according to the release, but the shape is still very much a van. The designers do try to lend it some panache with the LED headlights up front and checker board side panels. It's really more about utility than looks, though, because the roof can roll back for taller loads, the rear glass retracts into the tailgate, and the whole rear can fold down as a ramp to load stuff more easily into the cabin. Toyota isn't talking about a powertrain yet but claims that the underbody is also especially durable for a long life in the big city.
Toyota recalling 615k Sienna models over rollaway risk
Thu, 26 Sep 2013Toyota has announced a recall affecting approximately 615,000 Sienna minivans due to a possible rollaway risk. All of the vehicles in question are from the 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008 and 2009 model years.
In an official statement, the automaker states that the problem stems from the vehicle's shift lever assembly. "Because of the potential for damage to the shift lock solenoid installed in involved vehicles, there is a possibility that the shift lever could be moved out of the 'P' position without the driver depressing the brake pedal," Toyota said. Because of this fault, the affected Sienna models could roll away without warning, increasing the risk for a crash.
Owners will be notified via first class mail, and the affected Sienna models can be taken to Toyota dealerships to have the shift lock solenoid replaced with a new one. Have a look below for the automaker's official release.
Union to launch Toyota organization drive in Canada
Sun, 12 Jan 2014Toyota may be heading toward some labor issues in the Great White North, as employees at a pair of Canadian Toyota factories may be set for a certification vote. The Unifor union, which was the result of a merger last year between the Canadian Auto Workers and the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers union, will be holding the vote.
Over 40 percent of the employees at the Woodstock and Cambridge, Ontario factories have signed union cards, cresting the minimum percentage required to instigate a legal certification vote, according to Reuters. The Woodstock factory is responsible for RAV4 production, while Cambridge builds the Lexus RX350 and RX450h, as well as the Toyota Corolla. The two factories employ nearly 7,000 people.
It's unclear when the union will hold a certification vote at the two factories, but what is rather clear are the worker complaints. Employees are concerned about workers being hired on temporary contracts which lack the benefits of full employment, John Aman, head of organizing for Unifor, told Reuters.
