Pudsey Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I own a completely Factory Standard J-Spec JZA 80 -GTE its in Super White 2 and the Model is a RZ-S VVTI TT 1998. I love the shape of the car one of the main reasons for buying it, and of course always being a modifier myself the tuning potential held within the standard base. It seems to me that many people prefer the 'Standard Car' that hasn't been changed in any way, some exceptions of course but that's just personal taste and the ned to stand out from the crowd. I personally have always strived to own something no body else has hence rare cars in the past, but just thought this was worth a post to gather peoples views on the subject! Hope this doesn't start a Supra World War, but I am expecting some flavourable views ...........> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave17 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Stock except maybe some clear indicators and a louder exhaust! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris2o2 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Mainly stock , change the wheels and maybe some subtle modifications to the body - oem is nice but the engine - feel free to go mad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I prefer stock look but the wheels have to be changed for me! Dont mind oem skirts and spats though , if i was thinking about aftermarket body parts i'd go for a trial rear do luck or bomex front (but would have the actice front bumper over these 2 anyday!) and bomex sides!

TRACIE_LOU Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I have to say i love my bomex front and not sure i would change it, but would change skirts and rear! I think alot of people on here if they keep it stock then a splitter looks good, gives it an extra little edge without bieng it your face! You will defo get mixed opinions on here so don't expect this lot to make up your mind lol Have you got an idea of what you like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 So many people have added aftermarket body parts , when you actually see a supra ( Which is rare other than seeing your own each day!) 9 times out of 10 they've always got aome sort of AM body parts on them! Its rare now to see a supra in stock form! (Well at least around my neck of the woods anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope your having a good weekend (All). Most defo agree with highlighted comment!! but you haven't said what you like.. Alot do say stock but if you search members cars most have mods of some sort. no matter what they say they can't resist! I for one enjoy these kind of semi war threads (sshhh) so will have to watch and see reasons/opinions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiten55 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 i think this will be pretty one sided to be honest. stock with a few choice mods looks good. See Jamiep's for what i think is the best car on the forum looks wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRACIE_LOU Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 So how many owners have cars that are completely stock? no choice mods nothing just utterly standard:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'Devil' makes work for idle hands springs to mind [GRIN][/GRIN] You got a lot of Supra's around your way? Must be 7 or 8 maybe more in Cambridge , most have AM body parts , I think its only mine and Why T's supra thats stock (or close to it!) , the black wide arch around my way looks nice though! I wouldn't pay to have that done mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyW Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 (edited) Keep the stock look with some slight subtle mods: Wheels, clear indicators, facelift lights and active spolier. As hiten55 said, have a look at JamieP's car to see how it's done! Edited April 13, 2009 by JohnnyW (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
