In a daring move, Tj Hunt took a gamble on a burnt-out Mark V Supra from Copart, shelling out a hefty $50,000. Hopes were high as he delved into the dismantling process, seeking hidden treasures within the charred remains. Clues like an SFI sticker and ties to ATF Speed hinted at a potentially souped-up transmission, sparking excitement in the hunt for performance upgrades. However, the disheartening truth emerged during disassembly, revealing a standard transmission rather than the coveted built version.
As the investigation deepened, a compression test uncovered a troubling issue with Cylinder 6, pointing towards piston ring wear and engine damage. The once-promising project now faced a harsh reality check, with multiple cylinders showing signs of distress. The financial blow dealt by the Supra's condition hit hard, with the car's value plummeting far below the initial investment. Despite the setback, Tj Hunt remained resolute in his determination to salvage the situation by embarking on the challenging task of replacing the engine.
Amidst the wreckage and disappointment, Tj Hunt's unwavering spirit shone through as he vowed to breathe new life into the beleaguered Supra. The journey from a burnt shell to a roaring beast symbolized a test of resilience and determination in the face of adversity. With a fresh engine on the horizon, Hunt's quest to resurrect the Supra stood as a testament to the unyielding passion and relentless pursuit of automotive excellence.
