history of the car i bought it from the original owner, he bought it new with 56 miles on it and took pretty good care of it.. (still has the original window sticker and all the paper work from the original purchase in the glove box). the only thing if had to do to it in the 6 months i've owned it is maintenance and a mass air sensor, and a little rubber line that hooks to the intake for the pcv valve..

and i completely misread your question lol. my history with cars is lengthy I have had a lot of 3rd gens, this is my first 4th gen though..

First car i got at 16
1989 Trans am GTA flame red, t-top 5.7 (had it until about 3 years ago) it was stolen 389,000 miles and a lot of work
1984 Camaro 2.8l 5 speed, bought it as a project. 383 swap (sold)
1990 Trans am GTA yellow, t-top. LT1 swap, hated opti spark (sold)
1989 z28 5.0 5 speed blue, bought it 2 days after my GTA was stolen. didn't keep it but a few weeks after that.. sold it and started saving for a nice 4th gen

other cars ive had are

1989 Ford Thunderbird SC 5 speed, did a lot of work to this as well rebuilt and ported the supercharger pully set
running 15psi (car didn't run for **** when i got it) it had been sitting for 7 years after a accident.. never buy a car on salvage title its a pain.

1990 Toyota Supra targa 5 speed Turbo. H&R springs tokico 5 way adj shocks, HKS turbo and turbo timer, full HKS exhaust, head work, cams blah blah blah Import too much money and not enough to show for it


and this is a newb question but what is the mirror mod? are you talking about the blind spot mirrors? it was that way when i got it...

yeah the supra was pretty quick for what it was, just a headache to get parts mainly suspension parts because there isn't much aftermarket for the 3rd gen supra.

First on the list of things I am doing is Borla exhaust, then complete suspension, K member, control arms, watts link, sub frame connectors, lowering springs and shocks.

Then engine stuff, haven't completely decided on the direction for that yet.. may be boost may be N/A, I like the Procharger set ups a lot.. but in the end boost is a lot more money than N/A, I learned that lesson with the supra..

try to figure the n/a or not with the motor. it sucks to buy borla just to turn around and decide you want an STS system or something...

I for sure will not be doing a sts system even if i do a boosted car, and front mount turbos are almost out of the question because i do not want to cut up my car. if i go boost it will probably be a procharger.. and i am getting a good deal on the borla from a guy on here, i just want to get rid of the stock cat back for now. and i will probably get most of the suspension done this year, and i wont start making plans for the engine for about a year.
