Hi. Im turning 17 and want to buy a 1994 or 1997 Toyota Supra TT. I was just wondering where most of you go to get your cars upgrade. I found a store called www.suprastore.com and they have alot of cool parts but i dont know if its reliable or not. I live in NY so i need the store to be in ny or have a branch in ny.

IMHO they suck, there was a thread on another board and they got roundly lambasted for having lame customer service, their prices are okay but it is F@!# you if you have a problem, a much better site is mvp auto (http://www.mvpmotorsports.com/default.asp)

Dusty (owner of MVP)has a supra and sells at a pretty good price and I can also vouch for his support( no finacial interest in either)
the basic upgrades are not hard a boost controler down pipe ( be careful removes the cats does NY have sniffers? ) exhaust and bcc( boost cut controler) the exhasut work can be done by any shop the electronics are not hard to install your self
check out mkiv mirror (http://www.stanek.com/mkiv/main/) go to the technical section they will have some DIY info the above three upgrades( ~1500.00) should yield at 18 psi about 470 hp at the crank an awesome amount of hp for a 17 yo BTW the care can be a handful in wet weather if yougo to full boost:eek: any higher than 18 you melt your turbos some folks go single turbo for higher hp at higher $$$$ people ahve gotten 600+ hp on stock internals and pump gas
check outnorth east mk oweners (http://www.nemkiv.com/) for info on speed shops in the nyc area good luck
