Zeiretto Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) Hey guys, I bought a '96 Supra yesterday in Renaissance Red. It was woman owned in Japan and has been in storage for most of its life. It only has 30.255km (not even 19.000 miles) and it shows. The car is truly stunning! I'm now just waiting on my registration papers and such, but I'm really happy I finally own my dream car! It's a non turbo automatic, but I plan to keep this car for a long time and a GTE + manual swap is definitely in the pipeline. For now I think it would be a shame to swap out such a low-mile motor, especially since it runs so buttery smooth. It has some cool options like the airbag steering wheel, black leather headliner and black carpet.

Tyson Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Welcome to the club looks very clean !! I know you said you weren't changing the engine just yet but do you have any cosmetic mods planned ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeiretto Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 Yes sir! I definitely want some facelift headlights and taillights, and a nice frontlip. Next summer I'm hoping to have some coilovers and phat 18" JDM wheels installed aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 What's up? It looks lovely as it is. I'd even say that it would look better with stock 17" wheels and chrome headlights. A clean, low mileage car like yours is rare. A clean, low mileage, stock car is as desirable as you can get IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeiretto Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 Ah yeah, you're definitely right about that. I love stock cars aswell, but I love giving them my own "touch" if you know what I mean. No weird bodykits, neon or stickers though. Just subtle mods that accentuate the Supra's amazing bodylines!

Jos Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Welcome here also, she indeed looks very nice. You can make the headlights look like new again with some work, saves you a lot of money, lhd facelift headlights are very expensive I believe.

Zeiretto Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 Yeah, I'll try and polish them up first. Also contemplating about getting a set of glass ones and painting the insides black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kill1308 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Welcome... That's a nice clean Supra, sounds like you've got some tasteful mods planned.

Zeiretto Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) Thanks! Here's a picture of my old Celica btw. It had some sleek mods like a rare front lip (Postert, discontinued), wide Racing Hart CP-035R wheels and coilovers. People often thought it was a Supra, don't ask me why.
