Guest Blue Soup Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) Hey guys! So i'm a newb to this forum, but not to Supra's This is my 93 Auto Supra (one day will be manual!). Its been resprayed to the Toyota FJ Cruiser blue (amazing looking colour in person) I have owned it since 2006 and have been happy ever since Not a long list of mods, but main things are: Engine: GReddy Intercooler and piping Precision Dual Ball Bearing 6266 1.15 with ported housing Custom made twin scroll high mount manifold Turbosmart 45mm external wastegate 4" intake pipe with pod and heat shield (soon to be completely enclosed) 3" downpipe to 200 highflow cat and 3" all the way to the cannon. Visual: Respray to FJ Cruiser Blue with Black accents (was originally black) Ganador Aero mirrors TRD non carbon wing Do luck copy front bar Blitz copy side skirts Trial copy rear bar Custom made ADR approved fibreglass bonnet (completely legal in aus unlike most aftermarket bonnets) Series 2 headlights blacked out Rear middle brake light deleted Wheels: Gewalt Evolution 2's 18" x 10" and 18" x 11.5" (pulled apart and new lips put on to make them wider) Future mods: At the moment, my main goal is to convert to manual, but as funds are a little tight lately, i may have to wait a year or two unfortunately Here's some pics! I will add more as i go More pics (sorry for them only being phone camera quality) Car needs a good clean too Edited January 3, 2013 by Blue Soup Spelling (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Welcome. Looks nice, would like to see a side shot to see the wheels. Not a fan of the orange under the hood to be honest but the blue and kit look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Blue Soup Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Yeah, the orange was just something i wanted to try. I was trying to come up with a colour scheme and only had yellow, red, orange, and black to choose from. They were the only high temp paints i could find at the auto shops close to me. I had an idea recently to paint most of the engine black to make it look completely stealth. So that might be something i do in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Looks very nice You'll get away with non high temp paint on those parts, my spark plug/cam pulley cover is painted in normal base coat and laquer and is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimojameso Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Love the car!! Only thing i would say is paint the orange bits a different colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blue Soup Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Oh really? I was worried it may flake or crack. That's good to know! Well i guess i just need to find another colour that will go with the blue now. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 This is my bay, the blue cover has been painted for several years. You'll need to prep them properly though with a thorough de grease then scotch brite all over then a plastic primer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blue Soup Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Looks good mate! The black piping looks awesome. Is it ceramic coated or painted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) Looks good mate! The black piping looks awesome. Is it ceramic coated or painted? Thanks but its not quite finished as you can see a few other bits need doing black but i kind of lost interest. All the intercooler pipes, inlet pipe, cam covers, strut brace, plenum, rad clamps and battery clamp are powder coated gloss black Powder coat these days has an awesome range of colours too Edited January 3, 2013 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
