Just all caught up on your project bud, what a build. To see the difference between 2012 when I first met you to seeing her run the strip at Japshow finale last year is phenomenal. Thanks for using my photo in your build thread. The car looks even better in the metal and the attention to detail is spot on. Hopefully will get chance to have another meet up at some point this year no doubt.

Good spot bud! Thanks for sharing the photos, really missing this car at the moment, should never have sold it....ah well glad to see it had decent life and was looked after until it went SORN in 2020.

Hello ladies and Gents, Curiosity has finally gotten the better of me. I was hoping I might be able to get some info of what life my old SZ has had since we parted ways in 2012 (biggest mistake of my life selling it). It was a silver SZ with the reg of MUI 7118. I've attached a photo, just because well who doesn't want to look at a supra. thanks for reading!

Nice one! Will come and say hello!

That interior is amazing! looking forward to seeing the end product.

Just got my tickets for this, anyone here going? I'm slowly indoctrinating my daughter into the tuned car scene and will be taking my Soarer. Would be good to meet up and say hello as I've been out of the scene a while. Hopefully see some of you there.

Welcome to the club, nice Supe too!

I'd be up for meeting around East anglia. I'm living near Swaffham and hope that I'd be okay to join in my Soarer?

It's almost a 2 man job to use it

Front end was straight as, been out to look during my lunch break and there is a slight droop on the door. Well it's something new to do

Cheers bud, never even noticed that one, door shuts fine....but thanks for the heads up. Yeah the wheels will be going at somepoint.

Thanks, yes it has the old school digital dash. Living out my childhood knight rider memories lol!

Well, I pulled the trigger on a spotless Soarer V8 last Saturday. It feels great to be back in a JDM sled again…I will always miss my supra, but I am so enjoying this. Will get some nicer pics up after I’ve given it a proper valet. Cheers to swampy for his advice, and hope to see some of you guys at a meet soon!

Cheers swampy will give that a look!

Cheers swampy! Those are the types of things I'm after. Is the stock headunit in the 31 easy to change as I know it has all the climate controls etc within the touch screen system. Not many 30's around at the moment.

Hi all, not been on here a while as life has had it fair share of twist and turns since I sold my supra 10 years ago. Now that life is starting to settle down I am now looking for a nice v8 Soarer. I've seen one that I like its a silver '97 era UZZ31, and I will be off to have a look at it in a week or so. Anyone here had much experience with them at all? I would love to get back into a supra but the budget is not that big at the mo, and I've always had a soft spot for the soarer. Looking forward to getting to a few more meets in the upcoming year, so it would be nice to have a catch up with new and old members alike. Moylesy

That's a cracking looking car!! Congrats on the purchase, the paint correct looks amazing.

Worst "I'm gonna be a GE" post ever!!! good luck Si, and I might need a flight to vegas at some point

A bit late in the day, but I've just read the whole thread and I'm now subscribed to see the finished product. Awesome work dude.

Mate, this car has come along way since seeing it at the LMM meet back at the beginning of 2012. Glad to see you are still going strong with it. I sold my supe in April of 2012, and regretted it ever since, but one day I will have another. Enjoyed reading your build thread and wish you all the best with it and look forward to the results.

I've always loved the look of this supra! If only I had the money! Good luck with the sale!

I might be able to make it with my crumbling mondeo lol

I've been following his on Facebook Rog! Looks awesome so far. Good work chap!

I do love a good engine bay clean.....feels very satisfying once done. Keep up the good work Mike!

Sold mine to a member on here called Davis, hope he is still enjoying it! Well at least you have a flat Jason, I moved last year to a house with a lovely double garage so....just need the supra now....and the money to buy one with lol. Do you have the last gen (7?) celica, if so how are you finding it? Always liked them since my dad had a C reg white door wedge shaped one (cant remember what gen it is).
