drift_bear Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) I have decided after the wheel bearing incident down at santa pod this year, i am taking the supra off the road for some much needed TLC and essential parts needing replacing. Im going to keep this thread for updates so you know how i am getting on, im hoping to have it all finished by next april/may in time for the nice weather and show's again (and of course pod next august ). I've always wanted a "show car" so thought that the supra would be the best to use as a base to start from. Any advice and input is welcome Full re spray in midnight purple TRD front wings (hopefully from homer) Rear half roll cage Coilovers wheels refurbed in gold center and polished lip Front seats changed to racing seats Up-rate speakers and head unit AFR guage in centre console (air vent) Aero-catches on bonnet De-arieled, de-wipered, washer jet removed and rear roof spoiler removed Edited September 2, 2011 by drift_bear (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
