Rob_Mitchell Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Hey Guys thought i would start a build new build thread. Its mainly going to be my dads but ill end up using it alot. We managed to buy Fiz's (monkpower) supra off him. Its going to be a complete build, new colour change paintjob, lots of carbon and as im involved its going to have a super shiney V8..... maybe Gold.... but obviously it cant outshine the GOLD RUSH Its a bit new to us dropping a V8 in so prob start Pm'ing members who have done the conversion for help but we have a nice idea on whats needed. I am trying to persuade my dad to go a fully wire tucked V8 bay! usually i can get my own way Let the fun begin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Monk sold his car On a plus note, at least you are doing what he should have done!! If it wasn't a need for FI, I would have without a doubt gone down the V8 route, they sound incredible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Will your Dad sell the 300ZX for this? You should convince him to drive the Supra instead, how cool would that be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Hope your dropping a V8 in it with some power like an LS vette unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) Will your Dad sell the 300ZX for this? You should convince him to drive the Supra instead, how cool would that be The 300zx is forsale mate. The V8 will basically be driven by my Dad to shows ect and ill use it now and then as i have the orange Beast. My Dad just loves the supra scene and gets on well with members at shows and the forum is always active. So thanks guys for making him welcome! Be nice to build another car with him. Will be parked next to mine at shows, so both will have the same theme with the engine bays!!

Kaan W Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 This should look lovely with a bit of DAW magic! A gold plated V8 I think you should cover the engine with crystals too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
