For a little while I was debating whether to part ways with my Supra ('97 VVTi 6 speed single) just for a change; I finally came to my senses and decided I would miss it too much and had to keep it. That has now been further reinforced as the right decision as my love for these cars has extended a wee bit further through the purchase of a second black Supra
A lot of you may recognise this car as belonging to my best mate marcAB10 - it has been up here in Aberdeen for about 12 years now and has transformed quite a bit since I first saw it (back in 2008!).
It is a 1995 SZ-R 5 speed manual which has had a 2JZ-GTE engine swap. Running relatively stock, it made 341.5bhp when dyno'd a while back.
Externally, it has the following appointments:
RMM Lip
Blitz Skirts
Shine Auto Carbon Diffuser
Ridox Carbon Boot Lip
It used to have Workmeister S1 3 piece wheels, though I have taken these off and put on stock 17s for the moment; as I plan on refurbishing the Works, putting on 1/2" narrower lips and fitting them to my 'main' Supra. It also had OEM interior retrimmed in a stunning 'chilli' red. That has since been fitted to the other Supra as well, with my Recaro SR5s (black cloth with red stitch) swapped into this one. I have also raised the car up quite a bit so that I can actually move it around without the worry of scuffing/scraping everywhere!
A wee bit of attention will be required on the sills as they are a bit corroded - I'll have to gauge just how bad they really are once I get it onto a ramp and then make a decision from there as to the best way forward.
Unsure as to my plans if all can be salvaged structurally. Probably pick up a new bootlid to return to having the OEM spoiler, a different set of wheels (may put my CCW LM5T on if I don't just sell them) and just enjoy it as a largely stock offering.
Here are a few pics of the car in it's prime a few years back.
