RickiusMaximus Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Hey all, so I decided it was time to upgrade from my Black Celica to a Supra. Found an amazing looking one on E-Bay last Sunday night, went and saw it on Monday afternoon and bought it there and then! Just a simple Automatic (would have loved a manual but couldn't pass it up), non-turbo, 1995. But it just looks awesome. I feel like Michael Knight in there! It totally puts my Celica to shame!

Havard Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Veilside I thought it was a VS type II but it looks a bit wierd from that angle. Although they do look wierd from most angles..!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonytotheB Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Nice mate. Welcome to the club. Don't worry, for some reason people are allergic to Veilside here. Or they say that they don't like it but don't know why. Possibly because one person doesn't like it and they feel they must follow. If you like that is all that matters buddy An NA is a good start but you will soon want a TT... vroooooooooooooom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Welcome, the car looks lovely. My car was also named the batmobile when it was in getting sprayed. The guy doing the spray told me about people stopping and coming in to ask about it, one of the girls who came in said she thought it was the batmobile and just had to come in for a closer look lol.

Kazuma Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Welcome to the club! I have the same front bumper on mine, looks amazing. I can see why you bought it there and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mplavery Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Very nice mate. Love black Supra's...i would get rod of those blue stickers on the side and paint the toyota badge black on the bumper though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attero Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 (edited) Welcome to the club. Mine has also been called a batmobile... by people who have clearly seen neither of the cars in quite some period of time. About the Veilside, it's disliked because Veilside is known to be a way of taking away the cars real look in the most meaningful way. It's the same with every car with Veilside. I could go into more detail, but I don't want you to hate you car, especially since the rest of it looks brilliant. And the bumper doesn't even look that bad on your car, with all the other kit parts. Congratulations. I'm sure you two will be happy together.

KamaSupra Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Welcome to the club!! You've chosen the best colour and car looks very nice and shiny Trust me you never lose that cool feeling when driving a Supra so enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Bin the bumper, and bonnet. Car will look 10x better with these replaced. Other than that car is sweet dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 As I'm sure you've already guessed...Veilside isn't too popular on here...most people lean towards the stock look! But if you like it thats what matters! Congrats and welcome to the club! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LolaBoost94 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 She's beautiful! I agree on getting rid of the blue stickers and badge but you have all the time to change/upgrade. I was looking at some places in Cambridgeshire... maybe I'll see you around once I make my way to the UK. Welcome from one newbie to another!

abtin90 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Welcome and nice car, everyone has their own taste but I personally like the front bumper and bonnet. I would definately keep it how it is. Congrats on the car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickiusMaximus Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 Oh I'm definitely keeping the bonnet and bumper. I was actually thinking of making the Toyota symbols black. And I have no idea what the Japanese writing says! Probably "Toyota Supra!" At the bottom of the small window there's a decal that says http://www.mkivsupra.net! That's how I found this place! Also tempted to spray the alloys black. Not sure. Need to look up some pics I think. So for my job I sometimes need to carry around a few bags of filming equipment, camera, lights etc. I'm fairly certain that the back seat will be big enough but I'm wondering how much people have been able to get in the back in the way of storage? And how do I change my avatar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 you would be surprised what you can cram in there if your creative enough. I think the most we managed was 3 suitcases and a passenger. If you need a little extra room take out the space saver wheel and the plastic boot floor thing. folding the back seat down isnt always the best way to go if you want to fit stuff in. but it depends on the size of your stuff. you can get 4 wheels + tyres in easily. one in the spare wheel area (you have to get the right one in here. i forget if it has to be a front wheel or a rear wheel. the next 2 dont fit in otherwise). fold the seats down then 2 go on there. then one on the passenger seat. some people prefer to put them on the back seats but ive never managed to get them in that way. you CAN get 4 people in (and still be legal) if your desperate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickiusMaximus Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 So there's this switch with a dial on the right hand side of the steering column. I have no idea what this is. Or what it does. I'm afraid to touch it in case it sets the auto-destruct. Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Hi mate welcome to the club. Nice looking car - anymore specs on it? The switch looks like it might alter the colour of your dials/clocks and also the brightness. Turn the ignition on then flick the switch from blue to green and see if your clocks etc light up a different colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
