I'm not sure what my plans are for the Supra

 

I should be moving into my own place in the Summer so it might not be much going on with it

 

Though

 

Main thing will to be just to use it more, enjoy the thing, more going to meets and cruises lol

 

I would like to have a SRD alloy engine tray to help keep the engine bay cleaner and better support in the do-Luck fbumper, also carbon LED rear lights and maybe some of the new carbon bits that wifbitz does now

 

Oh and I will be underselling the car as well to tidy up underneath the car lol oh and to protect it as well

I'm going to do some little jobs on it and sell it - don't drive it enough to justify the cost of keeping it...and don't enjoy always fearing the worst when leaving it parked anywhere but in my garage ...too many knob jockeys about.

 

I'll replace it with a cheap sh*tbox run around so I won't care if it gets dinged, vandalised or stolen.

 

I love the car to bits, always put a smile on my face when driving it (even like an old woman!) - but I don't enjoy owning it due to the paranoia I get when its out of my sight :(

Just buy a sh*tbox for a daily as i did, and keep the supra for weekend/summertime blasts.

At the start of the year I had lost the love as everybody I know seemed to be getting newer shinier cars that were making my Supra look old and tired.

 

However after a few cold showers and a watching the dragonball 2012 video 100s of times I ended up doing the following:

Get shine auto carbon diffuser fitted

Re fit carbon MVP style front splitter

Respray front wings/bumper

Full machine polish

Impulse buy of BC coilovers now fitted

New boot rubbers

Rota Grid Drifts

New alpine rear speakers

Re furb j spec brakes

 

 

To do still;

Fit Bonnet dampers

Re spray dash panels

Buy UK spec front brakes

 

& biggest upgrade to date

Sort Full Auto TT BPU transplant

 

Safe to say I have got the love back
