upgrades?

i've been contemplating upgrades for my car... but my first upgrade will be my alarm. next might be tinted windows... next a cool sound system that i can hook up my ipod to... then probably some rims...

also i got a quote for an engine swap to the 2JZGTE turbo motor and itll cost 6500 for the engine and harness, with labor itll cost 9500. i need to start saving up!

too much attention.

wow i've noticed that this car tends to attract a whole lot of attention. i noticed a lot of people tailgating me on the freeway. just tonight a bmw drove side by side with me. i noticed his friends in his car were checking my car out. i assume they wanted to race me or something. but i decided not to do anything. i didn't want to harm my younger bro who was the passenger at that time, and i didnt want to get into accident since i just got my insurance that day. safety first!

back...

finally it's tuesday... i got my car back from kearny mesa toyota. and the car runs great! now its time to party! more pics coming soon.

Supra Maintenance

Today i checked the engine out to make sure everything was okay from the previous night. I noticed that one of the fuses was placed incorrectly. So i placed it in its designated spot, and I also purchased another 30 watt fuse since there was one missing. In addition, I removed a weird wire that was sticking out of the diagnostic thingy. the car seemed to start better with the new fuse. i cruised for a bit and the check engine light came on while i was driving.

we headed up to the toyota dealership at kearny mesa so can get it checked out. i dropped off the car for inspection. Oscar (Toyota service guy) called me up later in the afternoon and told me it needed some parts and it would be there by tuesday. He gave me two options. I could pick the car up that day and continue driving it without the new parts and bring it back tuesday or just leave it there and wait until the new parts arrive. Having thought about my options I decided to leave my car at the shop till tuesday, I didn't want to risk further damage to the car.

i'll be picking up the car on tuesday. for now im supraless... :(

Rainy Evening

I drove the Supra in the rain for the first time... It was pretty scary. The rain was pouring down really hard. While I was driving I noticed that the check engine light briefly turned on and off. That freaked me out. I wasn't too sure what to make of it. I thought that everything was fairly good when I purchased the car. Weird.
