My 88 Targa Probe project

Post by Rich »

Been a bit so heres an update and a few new pics.

So far shes gotten 300 miles put on her. Though the water pump and front main seal failed so shes again parked but only till mid week. She still needs a lot of little parts and will never be done in my mind. Not much will be changed on the outside other than fresh paint at some point.
So far since she first started weve replaced....
Heater control valve
2 radiators
1 clutch fan
valve cover sealant
1 rear tire

New parts going in this week.
Newer style hvac controls
Newer style taillights
New door speakers
New water pump
New Front main seal
So shes had a few bumps along the way. And big thanks to SupraRacer and his brother! And onto a few new pics.

Im sure I will have more pics by mid to late week up. But shes coming along.

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you.
Hope this helps

The center caps will need covered or filled sadly. But yeah its on the list of things to do. Right now the next 3 things im aiming for is new larger sway bars. Electric cooling fan with an actual electronic thermostat. And the speaker pods for the doors from a later supra (early cars had 4 inch front later had 6.5's)
