letmeshowyou Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 So, after several years away from Supra ownership, I've finally got another. Picked up a nice silver 97 RZ-S the other day (pretty much bog stock), and whereas I'd said I was dead against silver, being facelift it's grown on me already! Few jobs to do before it will be on the road, so it may not make Supra Pod, but I'll definitely be there anyway Will try and get a few pics up later; the car is shockingly dirty, and having shut my thumb in the door on Friday night, I didn't really feel up to cleaning yesterday. So the ultimate plan is stock body, big wheels, and a bit of tuning. Wheel recommendations please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooquicktostop Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 You forgot to mention BPU in the things to do list, well back to Supra ownership, oh and wheels......CCW's are nice on a stock body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 Thanks for the comments guys, pics later for definite BPU is definitely on the cards, but perhaps not as swiftly as I'd initially intended. It's so nice as it is it might have to stay that way for a little while. Initial cleaning has revealed it once had a body kit (veilside judging by it) and I'm leaning towards CCW's too (though not sure who could supply me some as yet).

letmeshowyou Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 Thanks Dean, know of anyone in the UK that could get me some by any chance?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I love the CCW's however I never understand that a wheel that is designed especially for the supra needs a spacer to fit them, seem stupid imo. IIRC it only applies when using the bigger 4pot brakes but still. However they are one of the nicest wheels you can buy, but as far as I no there is no UK suplier you have to import.

letmeshowyou Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 That's definitely the sort of thing that would put me off. Spacers aren't my favourite way of doing things! Just found out the weirdest thing... the rear number plate mounting points are different on this car than to my last one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 So, the pics aren't great, and still a lot of cleaning to do, but you get the idea and I quite like the dash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Nice base car, I recognise that number plate ? If you do go for a set of CCW's let me know, we could get a deal for 2 sets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkddav3 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 looks very tidy mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 the number has been mine for 6 years now Dean, and as far as I know in dvla posession before that, so you prob remember it from my black car! I'll look in to this spacer thing on the CCW's and let you know and thanks on the tidy comment. It needs a few bits done to be perfect, but it's definitely a good starting point!

tooquicktostop Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 The spacers are only small ones to allow UK brake clearance Adi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samsar Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Nice base car, I recognise that number plate ? This is my plate, very similar !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabriella Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Finally Adi, you are back to the Supra world Well done, car looks really good and I do like the dash..Can I have it? No?! Oh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Nice base car, I recognise that number plate ? If you do go for a set of CCW's let me know, we could get a deal for 2 sets Make it 3, after seeing Mario's car I have to have them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 I do like the dash..Can I have it? Maybe one day. Is yours facelift? Make it 3 I've fallen in love with the wheels in the first stock bodied Supra thread, having become un-decided if CCW's suit silver, these: http://www.adv1wheels.com/adv1wheels/wheelcollection/ADV10DC.php Annoyingly they haven't mailed me back yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Much prefer the CCW's. I think she'd ride a little rough ...what's that, there's a car in the picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 They are perhaps a little bigger in that pic than I was thinking! seen any silver ones where ccw's look right though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
