TooColdToDrive Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Hello all, I'm a new proud owner of a JDM MKIV TT 4 speed auto. Bought it minty fresh from a buddy importer. Only 93k on it, no mods, and purring well. Let's hope it survives a Saskatchewan winter of -45 degree Celcius weather! I'm also a big n00b when it comes to Supras unfortunately, but I love mine to death and will take good care of it. Hope to get to know you guys better! I hope these pictures work! Were not taken by me, but by Evan, who imported it (if I took pictures now, it would just be the Supra huddled in the garage). I do winter drive it, to stretch it's legs, so it is running snow tires right now (and somewhat dangerous spacers to fit the front steelie rims on). Hope my tires don't fall off if I hit a pot hole! Eitherway, sorry for the long intro. See you guys around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Welcome, looks very clean, is that a wood dash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooColdToDrive Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 It's a faux wood finish. It looks a lot better (and darker) in person. Also forgot to mention car came factory wingless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Welcome! There's no way I could live in that part of Canada with those winters! Car looks clean, it just needs a nice refurb on the headlights there are plenty of guides on here on how to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooColdToDrive Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 Thanks, I'll definitely look into it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I found a link on mkiv.com for you almost 100% of imported Supra's I've seen have this problem http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/headlights/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 It's a faux wood finish. It looks a lot better (and darker) in person. Also forgot to mention car came factory wingless. Hello and welcome to you I had a lovely 'walnut' dash too, and then I had it painted. Much nicer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooColdToDrive Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 Thanks a lot Tom! Wow, they look brand new after the spit and shine there. I might have problems pulling it off on my right headlight though, it has an end to end crack about 5 cm long. I don't think it will give me too much grief though. And thanks for the welcome all! Andrew - I definitely will look into painting over the walnut dash, even though I know we both love it ;P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesG Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Damian, I'd like to see a picture of how iced-up your supra gets at -45 degrees. I bet it needs a bit more than a plastic ice scraper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooColdToDrive Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 (edited) I'm fortunate to live in a pretty dry climate. A few thousand kilometers to the east, in Quebec, they get some really nasty ice-storms, up to half a foot of ice on places. I also keep the Supra in a garage, which keeps most of the ice off of it. However, around the back end of the supra I get a really dense ice that builds up on the paint from the exhaust - this usually doesn't thaw until the spring. It's never much, but it makes the paint appear dull. Edited December 31, 2008 by TooColdToDrive Spelling Mistake (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordy07 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 It's -3 in London at the moment. Is it summer in Scotland or something and we have the same temperature??? We are not that far away from you although this summer the hottest was about 18:blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefgroover Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Welcome, nice car you have there. How about a set of facelift headlights? they look great on a silver car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
