Lil Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 (edited) The year is 1994, I was about 7 when I saw this: http://www.4t.gr/files/Image/0000665WORLD/IAN94.jpg "4Trohoi" (4wheels) was the major automotive magazine in Greece by the time... Supra was a car that never imported officially to Greece.. I felt in love with that through the magazine's photos and later on through video games and internet... It was a car that kept me awake a lot of nights, and that I wanted too bad to own one day.... 19 years later I am a proud owner of one N/A Aerotop... 2 weeks ago I bought MrTwo's black aerotop... and I promised him to take care of her The car has cusco coilovers, cusco front and rear strut braces, 4 pot brakes etc. I received the car on the 16th of November, I arrived in Bradford at midnight so I din't take any photos of the car... Day 1... I figured out a small capacity issue these cars have: https://scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/996662_10151712061375588_72368954_n.jpg First Addition: Gunmetal ROTA Drift Force 9x18 and 10.5x18.... https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/v/1465037_10151712714080588_700286938_n.jpg?oh=683917ea9edf3d768f3a691598cc2e23&oe=529BFBDA&__gda__=1385998055_b62b660c5d3ddd03ac5e66d93847c0f6 https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/v/1472156_10151712714065588_1971953788_n.jpg?oh=35cfbaf757d8a4393ae3750817b1b192&oe=529C7125&__gda__=1386006615_39932deebd1377e0061c0f5725e75722 After that I took out the japanese headunit and the OZ steering wheel https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/1441517_586983241350434_1616693775_n.jpg and fitted the Pioneer Appradio , and a TRD steering wheel: https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/1452180_10151732013605588_798281461_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/1471803_10151732037525588_556091357_n.jpg so that's all till now... to come next: Recaro type seats (I am strangling with the mounts) Torsen LSD (already got one from Dazzi waiting to be fitted by mr Kirk) Re Trim the centre console Change Interior Lighting to white/red Thinking of changing the front Bumper to a topsecret one sorry for the long post Everyday I love her more and more https://scontent-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/1463602_10151723941020588_1095079558_n.jpg I'd like to thanks MrTwo for trusting her to me, Iky and Havard for their advices Kalimera!

markssupra Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Very nice subtle mods, looks great. Personally I like the look of the Stillen bumper, you also have the added bonus of it being polyurethane and not FRP so wont crack, just my 2p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 I have this small issue with my dashboard would it be just a clip or something more serious than that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iky Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) I have this small issue with my dashboard [ATTACH=CONFIG]178011[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]178012[/ATTACH] would it be just a clip or something more serious than that? It's a very common supra problem, the top of the dash starts to warp and the vinyl sometimes starts to de-laminate. Could be due to exposure to string sunlight, age etc. Might have to take the dash out and get an upholsterer to fix it.
