Please welcome my son John!

[cribbj]

Please extend a warm Lextreme welcome to my son John who just joined our community as "cribsterj"

JJ (nickname) continues the tradition of Supra ownership in our family, and has a very nice '94 Blk/Blk car with A/T transmission.

At the moment his car is at BPU level (tweaked boost plus a FMIC), and he's interested in dumping the twin peashooters, and putting a big single on it.

I'm trying to convince him of the error of his ways, since I just happen to have a spare UZ motor

 

[SC400TT]

Welcome cribsterj! Nice to see you following in your father's footsteps. Post up some pics of your car.

Welcome John. I'm not sure i'd call a well matched single on a supra an error haha.

 

[Lextreme II]

Welcome Jr. Your daddy is a legend in here. Hope u will enjoy the forum. You are one lucky young man. Not too many people at your age have a MKIV Supra. Your dad is a wiseman and I would listen to him 100%.

 

[JamesN]

Welcome to the forum. You are very lucky to have a supra at your age.

 

[Zuffen]

Can this Forum support two John Cribb's???

Welcome and I hope you can contibute a fraction of what your Dad has to the Forum.

UZ power rules!

 

[Smitherz]

Hey John nice to have another Cribb around. That's a sweet car you have and it's the best color too. I've always been a fan of them. When it comes to engines the 1UZ is a hard one to resist!

 

[cribsterj]

Thanks everyone for the welcome, sometime in the future i hope to contribute to the forum, but i am still learning a lot about the supra and car stuff in general

 

[Smitherz]

Right on, I discovered this forum and it pushed me over the edge - to start on a 1UZ to put into my Tacoma. It was a dream until I met all these guys! No one knows it all, just some more than others but we're all here to learn. We all love Supras... someday I see myself maybe having one? I used to like the NSX the best but I would rather take a Supra turbo I think if it came down to it.

And we all love picture to so post some up of your ride when you have a chance! Mmmm Supra....

A friend of mine bought a PERFECT low miles used Touring 350Z and we're picking it up in a day or two when he gets back in from town. To me its basically a smaller Supra but I like the Toyota interior "cockpit" better. Man yours is a turbo? Pretty awesome. I hope you have lo-jack in it.

Welcome on board!!! I'm sure you'll get all the love and respect on here just as your Dad. Since your Dad already has the supercharged Supra, putting a turbocharged 1UZ in yours will be unique.

Welcome from down under..
So the two of you are going to be fighting over the keyboard ?? Lol...

 

[JBrady]

I find the best way to discover the "error" in our ways is to make the error.

As far as the 2jz vs 1uz that is a tough decision. I would probably keep the 2jz and find an SCx for the 1uz project.

I wonder how close a Supra front clip comes to fitting an SC?

On second thought maybe getting John Sr's project done (or at least running) may be a better focus

Hear, hear!

And because JJ is now on his way back to his AFB in OK, I'll help out and post a pic of him and his '94 Supra:

 

[4000GT]

Aerotop, nice, just like mine. I say first step has to be a manual conversion!

Id keep the 2JZGTE to be honest, massive power potential and rpm potential and very known path to whatever power you want.

 

[Lextreme II]

Keep the TT as it is and get a SC400 and play with. Saw one today one ebay for $750 with no reserved and no bid. It has little electrical issue and only 4 miles from my place.

on his way back to his AFB in OK

Sounds like he is "the right stuff", better looking than his dad too !

You have done something right John.

The good look wasn't from senior for sure...

 

[SC400TT]

Black on Black!! Sweeeeeeeeet ride. I love Black Supras, and Black SC's as well. Very nice.

[Smitherz]

That car is almost too nice to modify heavily ya know? It's more like a touring car with the automatic tranny. I think you guys need to build a race car. Or buy an LS400 and make a crazy sleeper like D suggested. But I have to admit there is almost nothing sweeter than seeing a Supra do a burnout down the road.

 

[pres6]

Senior, you're a texan that lets your boy move to OK?

glad to have both of you here,
and JJ, your dad has an amazing wealth of info to share
