The supra's replacement


Bailey.

Recommended Posts

After selling the supra for a house deposit I have brought a stand in car untill I can afford a supra again. Its a 03 53 civic type r. Is a good laugh to thrash on the back roads but is no supra. I'm not intending on mods to any massive level just maybe some engine bay play :)

 

On the civic forum there is a guy who refurbs cam covers and intake manifolds, and this will be something I want to do as my cam cover started to peel when I sprayed the bay off after buying it. He does both red and black wrinkle finish for both the manifold and rocker and I don't know which combo to go with, maybe black and black. Advice needed, also a nice addition that the new owner of my supra made me was a carbon plug cover courtesy of rbr.

heres a couple of pics

Ive driven my mates one of these a few times! Fun little things arn't they! Great car for a bit of everyday nippin' about! Watch it on the twisties though, these things suffer BIG TIME from lift off over-steer.

Looks like you've gotten yourself a tidy little example there. I personally like the black on black/dark grey look :thumbs:

very nice car!...but no replacment for your old supra mate! stick a single tubby 2jz in it and then ill consider it as a replacment ;)

 

More of a stand in than a replacement then!! :) still a good laugh for little money, but no modifying this one, just a little.!
