For those who asked! Updated pics of my Supra!!
For those who don't remember or just don't know, a few months ago I bought my 88, bone stock. Well, the owner modified the front bumper a bit, but now it's GONE, as I upgraded to the 89-92 style front. I also upgraded the tail lights to JDM, the fogs to Euro style, the turn signals to clear style, the complete moulding set to 89-92 style... Eibach Springs, KYB GR-2 shocks, a new Pioneer MP3 head unit, some cheat steering wheel (heh, 15 bucks! =P) with the Momo adaptor (so I can at least put in a good steering wheel any day now).. hrm.. what else... Oh, the rims, 18x9.5 and 18x8.5 (with 275-35 and 245-40).. Oh, and the 89-92 climate control unit... I'm yet to change the cluster, but I want to. I also changed the whole e-brake handle and bought a new e-brake boot from eBay..
The old thread was this, in case you wanna see how it lookd before: http://www.toyota-supra.info/forums/...finally+bought I wont post pics directly, but instead give all the links. The car has not been washed in about 2 weeks, honestly. :( I know, I know... http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...9_139_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...9_140_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...9_141_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...9_142_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...9_143_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...9_144_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...9_145_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...9_146_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...9_147_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...9_148_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...9_149_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...9_150_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...9_151_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...9_152_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...9_153_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...9_154_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...9_155_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...9_156_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...9_157_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...9_158_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...9_159_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...9_160_full.jpg These were taken today, 16th of March 2006. The car is still N/A and automatic... but that should change sometime soon. I'm done exterior-wise... although I need a front lip, and some sort of license plate to put up front... I'm thinking a Japanese one or something... but not sure. Also re-considering those clear turn signals... might go with euro style instead. Let me know your thoughts. |
ITS ABOUT TIME!!!
Looks great man, just need a lip and an intercooler ;) I really like the rear bumper. |
Heh!
Hey mate! Nice to see you still wanted to see them :P
Well, remember I'm in Dominican Republic and I ordered pretty much EVERYTHING I've put into it from the states.. so sometimes it takes a while. Funny that you mention the rear bumper, coz the previous owner did that!! He olso modded the front bumper, and honestly, it didn't look bad, but I just love the way this 89-92 one looks, specially with euro fogs, wow. More people are looking at it now, definitely. And the mouldings also make a BIG difference, coz the ones I had were REALLY bad, all bent.. And notice these are JDM mouldings, with no rear side-markers. Btw, on these pics, the two bumper grills are in the wrong possition. Tomorrow I'll take it so they put them right. The D U M B people at the shop couldn't notice how they go... they have a curve in one of the four corners, DOH, where would it go!?!? =( But it's not even noticeable really... but I want it the right way =) Oh and knwate, now that I'm pretty much done spending money on looks... the intercooler shall come eventually, don't worry ;-) BTW, do you know of a good site to bay parts for the body, like, tie rod ends, bushings, etc.. ? I'm also in need of the rear strut hats (the piece that allows holding the spring and the strut together!) and I'm having a hard time finding them. =/ |
very nice. wish my car looked like that :(. I think it looks kinda cool without that front lip, i might take mine off now haha. I think those help the radiator not recycle its own air tho. but u can put a little dam right under the radiator.

..
Thanks! =)
I want some sort of license plate to put in there, up front... |
My '88.

There it is. =) I purchased an engine already. Will be installing it as soon as some parts that have already been shipped arrive here. So I might start the swap mid to late next week. I will then post pics, once it's manual and once it's running with over 300 hp (at least @ the crank) instead of the factory 200 on the current automatic tranny. I reckon 300 at the crank is very easy with a 1JZ, rated at 280 stock... intake/exhaust, and you're there.. right? =P |
lookin good ;)
you want me to merge the threads? |
Yes!
Sorry for being lazy, but I've been very busy lately. I even did a 1JZ-GTE swap and I've had it up and running for about a week now, feels awesome. =)
Do you happen to have a speedo cable that will work for me btw? It's a 5-spd manual... I'm still now sure if one from a W58 would work, or one from a R154... darn =) Merge the threads, I will later add pics of engine bay and stuff. =) |
