pbryant_knight Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 HI All, I have decided to do a "The Fast & The Furious" replica of the orange Supra. Is anyone on here doing/done the same? The car already has the corrct rear spats and side skirts but lacks the correct front bumper. I have seen the Bumper on e-bay (replica) for £180 and i believe it is a bomex bumper? does this sound about right (Veilside skirts and Bomex bumper). Also, the Bonnet in the film had the vents cut into it? was this a custom cut or can you buy these hoods with the vents cut into it? Aslo, what stops water leaking through these vents and damaging the engine? Finally, what type of wheels are they in the film? Any help now, and throughout my conversion, would be greatly appreciated. Here are some pics of how the car looks now Cheers Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraHuman Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 The F&F supra look is very dated by now.The bonnet was a TRD IIRC and will have rain guards fitted( I think). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I like the car as it is. OK, maybe not. Good luck with the project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 HI All, I have decided to do a "The Fast & The Furious" replica of the orange Supra. Is anyone on here doing/done the same? Highly unlikely the wheels were discontinued which was a shame as I really liked them and they suited it well, the bonnet was a TRD one or maybe a replica. Loads of info out there no dought of what the actual car had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 So you have 15K to spend on overnight parts from japan? The bonnet is a TRD one that you can get. And yes the bumper is bomex But seriously why are you doing this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Oh and you have the wrong car You need an aerotop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benyon Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Will you make a Brian O'Connor replica to go with the car?

pbryant_knight Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 Thanks for the replies. I'm doing it mainly because i'm a sad movie buff. I already have a near complete Knightrider conversion (full digital dash and all) and i always liked the look of this F&F Supra. I've also wanted a Supra or a Nissan 300zx as a daily driver for a long time, so when this one came up at an ok price i thought......what the hell!! As for the colour it is now........well.........IT'S PINK!!! It used to belong to a girl called Sarah Jane and it even has a tax disc holder that says "Sexy Chick" lol. As for the fact it's an Aerotop, i know this, but i have an interesting idea for that Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supramkivcork Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Copy/pasted. Fast and the Furious Hollywood Supra *** BUILDING A REPLICA WILL COST $75000+ SO DON'T ASK UNLESS YOU HAVE THE MONEY *** 1994 700HP Single Turbo Toyota Supra - 6 Speed You can read all the particulars below, but first let me wax eloquently in regards to this RARE car. At SupraStore.com we understand Supra's and their value better than anyone in the World. This is why the worlds most incredible Supra's are listed for sale here. When Universal Pictures required an incredible looking (WILD is what they asked for) engine to be used for scenes in the movie, who do you think they came to? You are right, they came to SupraStore.com. We provided the mock-up red motor that you will see in the movie. When Craig Lieberman wanted to sell this incredible car, which appears in the same Universal Pictures movie, who do you think he came to? Yes, SupraStore.com. The Supra is an interesting breed of car, capable of incredible performance (handling, hp, torque), and with a very unique look. The resale market for Supra's is incredible!! Every day we have people looking for these cars. Take a look at this car from the upcoming movie, "The Fast and the Furious". In it's modified form it has over 700hp and is as faster than any production car in the world (and yes, it would give a McLaren F1 a run for it's money). This car has Lexus reliability and robustness (can be a daily-driver, but who would?), Viper GTS destroying power delivery and torches the skidpad with a 1.0+ G's performance on street tires. It has all the creature comforts, including air conditioning, cruise control, and power everything. As the owner of SupraStore.com and driver of a 800HP Supra (w/competition stereo), I understand quality. This car is quality from top to bottom. Sincerely.

Previously owned by a business-man, the car was totally unmodified when sold to the current owner. However, that was soon to change. Immediately upon acquisition, the car underwent a host of modifications in the interest of using the car for advertising and promotion. Companies such as Greddy, Eibach, Stillen, Clarion and NOS were all participants in this project. The first round of modifications included new candy yellow paint, 18” wheels/tires, a mild sound system upgrade and some body kit components, plus engine detailing. The car then toured the show circuit, doing quite well. At least 6 major magazine features were done on the car. Over that winter, the car underwent its’ next round of modifications. The Supra was treated to a custom spec T-66 turbo, done by Vinny Ten, owner of the world’s fastest Supra. Nitrous Oxide Systems installed a custom NOS system, Greddy installed some of their trick components and Stillen installed their Formula 1 AP Racing brakes. Custom interior touches were added as well as a new audio/video system comprised of three TV monitors, a VCR, a DVD, Playstation and custom neon glasswork, courtesy of Audio Options. The engine was completely detailed, chromed and polished. All of the performance modifications received inspection and final tuning by a Toyota-Engineer specializing in Supra Turbo engines and performance applications. The car then competed in the First Annual “Ultimate Street Car Challenge,” a grueling drag race, auto cross and car show, all in one weekend. The car took 1st Place Overall. The car also began to tour the show circuit for the balance of 1999. Its’ crowning achievement was the receipt of the prestigious “Meguiar’s Hottest Car of the Year” award in 1999. The car also won Best of Show in numerous events around the country, scored several first place finishes and has even received features on KABC and KTLA local news broadcasts. But the best was yet to come. In the Spring of 2000, the car was spotted by recruiters for Universal Pictures and was selected to be the primary car for the upcoming blockbuster, “The Fast and the Furious.” Universal rented the car and began to alter its’ appearance to for an even more aggressive look. Lamborghini orange paint was applied (the only car in the movie to receive an actual high-quality paint job), as was a new Bomex body kit (the first of its’ kind, imported from Japan). New 19” wheels were added, as well as a new rear wing, a new TRD hood and some one-off Troy Lee graphics. The studio then set out to build 5 cosmetic replicas, shown in various stages of completion, all designed to replicate this original. All replicas were destroyed during the filming of the movie. This Supra is the primary car in the movie….the script is virtually built around the car. This particular car was driven by one of the stars, Paul Walker and was used for all the glamour and close-up shots. Upon completion of the motion picture, the car was returned to the owner with no damage, having been carefully protected by the film’s Transportation Managers. Numerous 8” x 10” photos were provided to the owner showing the car in action during the movie, as was a host of other souvenirs. The owner also served as Technical Advisor on the picture and provided dialog assistance for the script. The car is scheduled to appear at the Hollywood Premier, set for early Summer and at a Press Junket for broadcast media in early March. In the interim, the car is touring the show circuit on behalf of Universal Pictures to promote the movie. The car has been carefully prepared, serviced and maintained throughout the last two years and while making its’ show appearances. It is sure to be a collector’s item, with its’ value placed at over $150,000. The car currently is actually driven and it has almost 60,000 miles on it and still retains the A/C, tilt, cruise and full amenities. It has always been garaged, is hand polished weekly and is totally reliable. It is never raced or abused. Careful attention was paid to every detail so as to ensure the utmost reliability and driveability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I think you should leave your supra as it is to be honest, I quite like it! The F&F supra is a bit outdated now. If you want to do something, do something unique. Is that also a 5th gen prelude I spy outside your house? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Good luck Peter. I think the car looks great but it has done many times before. The car is ideal for shooting down a sunny highway racing a Ferrari 355 but it looks really chav and tacky pulled up at the lights on a miserable afternoon in Birmingham..... This will cost a lot of money and in the end you will not get a true replica IMO. Better to go upstairs and flush 10K down the bog?? H.

pbryant_knight Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 Well, the consesus here is......Supra = Good...........F&F Orange with graphics plastered all over it = Bad lol. I hear what you are all saying and i take all your points on board. The paint job at the minute is somewhat shabby (and pink) so it Definately needs that doing. I've sort of got my mind set on doing this (for some bizzare reason), but unlike my KITT, it's not going to be a true replica. I'm looking to getting the external of the car looking so that to anyone other than a Supra fan on this forum, it'll look pretty close to the original from the film. The interia will come next and finally, a few engine mods (but i'm not gonna go crazy). This will all be done over a period of time since i'm not super rich.(starting with the paint job) The current engine is a 3L non-turbo Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Im not to sure on this but I am sure that the rear end was not only spats on the film car as i'm sure that they custom made a splitter also, and imop they wrecked the aero in the film. A nice paint job on a car fare enough but to put decals up the side and fit neons. But thats hollywood for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 The current engine is a 3L non-turbo It should fit in quite well with the film theme as that was the engine in the car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kill1308 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Go for it if that's what you want to do... It's not like you'll be ruining an original car, it's already been messed about with, so why not get it how you want it. I prefer the look of stock supras, but best of luck with the project.
