build your best supra

Well I'd have a Renault 5 GTturbo.

And an escort cosworth, but that's just me.

 

Good shout, i remember the first day i got my R5 Turbo, i was in shock at how fast it was, that shock only lasted two days though and the head gasket popped killing the engine:D

 

My perfect garage:-

 

My Supra.

Black RS500, completely stock.

Modena Green MK1 RS2000.

Black TDV8 discovery for the daily hack.

ford man jamie, i did here you had a tasty cosworth?

 

Ive had loads of cosworths mate, not had one in about 10 years though, i use to have a black RS500 and also had a Modena green RS2000, i sold that car for £1800 about 17 years ago, id hate to think what its worth now.

Same happened to me mate, quite a few time actually. I put 3 engines in, a countless head gaskets oh and a turbo as well. But loved the car all the same.

Completely stock exterior (except wheels - Weds Sport SA70BLC).

Completely stock interior (but all black leather).

Carrillo H-Beams, CP Pistons, Titan Main Caps, Supertech valves, double springs, retainers, Titan 272 VVTi cams, ARP /L19 all around

Virtual Works Racing el. fans, intake and exhaust manifolds and complete exhaust system

Turbonetics turbo + quick spool valve

Other goodies:

One piece carbon driveshaft

My perfect garage would be one big enough to put a car in! :D

 

Realistically (ie, once I finish uni)

 

- e39 530d touring auto as my daily

- 600ish hp single Supra, looking as oem as possible (possibly with the exception of wheels)

- mk1 Golf gti track car (already own)

- VW Corrado vr6 storm

- a complete sleeper, something exceptional fast but sooo subtle. maybe a B5 RS4 engined A4, or an S2 Avant with Audi 80 wheels and plenty of rust! :D

trd rear spoiler

Black and red leather/alcantara interior with diamond stiching

So wouldn't really be the same as you would have replaced most of the TRD kit already there!

Poor guy he always get a hard time when a best supra thread comes up lol.

To be fair his engine bay was the best I've seen. Not the work "WAS". I recon I've took this minimal think to a whole new level and I ain't finished yet haha.

 

hodge I'm interested in knowing in what aspect you feel you've outdone KDW's Supra? You clearly haven't seen it IRL :)

It's the mechanical spec and attention to detail that I really like, especially the engine spec. I'm not a huge fan of the TRD look other than the rear spoiler.
