This is my current and most heavily enjoyed Supra I've owned. It took me 2 long months of searching the
internet to find this car. I eventually found this one located in Marina Del Rey, CA. It had all the options and
features I wanted and in the exact color I wanted too!! Turbo model, blue exterior, cloth interior, auto trans,
sport roof, TEMS, and most importantly, LOW miles. I flew over on Oct. 21, 1998 and checked out the car at
Marina Del Rey Toyota where the owner worked. The ride home assured me I had bought the perfect MK3!!

You can't really see the SOGI short shifter mod here. I have my turbo timer located right below the
radio. The gauges are the new reverse EL gauges from Speedhut.com. A voltmeter from an N/A
Supra has been installed in the stock boost gauge location as well. You can see it function below...
I picked up a JDM "3.0i turbo" badge from Suprasport.com. I got tired of the plain old "turbo" badge on there!
