Benjy Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Well, as you all know I'm breaking my NA6. Basically, the decision was made because I ran out of time, money, patience etc etc, and I was missing driving a Supra with my car being off the road... So I went to see a very nice man called Imran aka Grifter who let me drive his baby away this evening. 1996 (on an R plate - Thank you muchly DVLA! ) Facelift RZ TT Auto. Other than the sound system, 19" wheels and uprated discs and pads, she is BONE STOCK! EXACTLY what I wanted. Totally under estimated the autobox. Totally under estimated the power of a stock TT (from an NA - It's quick)! Unfortunately the drive home was shite due to the torrential down pour, massive puddles etc. Plans (for now) are: Uk brakes BC coil overs Fit my OEM spats and skirts Fit my Do-Luck front bumper Fit my HKS Silent power rear section BPU FMIC And then stop! YEAH, RIGHT!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjy Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 Cheers guys! I've waited a week since I viewed it to manage to get back up to pay the man and drive it away. It's got a ring binder full of receipts and all old MOT's etc. I've ordered an upper glove box off of ebay, I'm gonna fit my TRD wheel, get my TTE wheels soda blasted, painted and polished, and spend a weekend fitting it all. All I need to do now is wait for the log book to come so that I can transfer my private plate! Totally standard was exactly what I wanted. I know these are pretty bullet proof, but it just means this one's only ever been used Mr T intended. Now I can have a little play and I know exactly what's fitted etc! All I need now is a nice dry day to go and have a play! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Looks great, auto TT bpu is some weapon, enjoy! Facelift too, well jealous Oh and leave the oem skirts and bumper off man, bone stock ftw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleshead Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Please don't fit the bodykit!!! Just get a nice colour coded lip and some darkgrey/ black or silver wheels Silver looks ace with those few touches, facelift lights all round and Slammed Shame you couldn't fit the 6-Speed!

Havard Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 As a guy who always has OEM skirts and spats, I would leave the look of the car as it is. I would defo not fit the bumper but everyone to their own. That looks like a really tidy car. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjy Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 I dunno. I've always thought that silver Supra's just need that little something extra. It wasn't my first choice of colours, but it was such a bargain I couldn't turn it down. I have toyed with the idea of keeping the stock bumper and adding an active lip blade or something. But hey, not even had it 24 hours yet, still got time to change my mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
