tomsupra1 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) Hi, Going to do a build thread for my supra. First up, a couple of photos of previous cars I had: MG ZR 1.4: BMW 318iS: Nova 2.0 16v: I got the Supra in October 2012, and it had been stood for 3 years with a broken fuel pump. A used one was purchased off Keron and it fired straight into life on the first turn of the key! After that it was sent for a good service and an MOT, which it passed after new brake pads. Picture below of how I got it: Its a NA manual, which was imported apparently in 2005 (unsure how to confirm this) and had done 96,000 miles when I got it. Within a few weeks I fitted a set of Rotas, exhaust, snap off steering wheel and some yellow bilsteins and lowering springs. Not many update pictures for these works, apart from the below: Then I had my first and (touch wood) only breakdown. The battery worked loose and positive fell off : Next up was a splitter, along with sticker numberplate: Then I had a slight bump with a lampost and kurb. Ruined 2 of the rotas and required a bit of body work. So, im having the skirts all resprayed, Ridox replica front bumper and TRD replica rear spoiler. Also got a cheap set of 19s for the time being, until I find a set of Rota Torques or something similar: Body work should be finished this week, and then i am having a NA-T kit fitted, which I collect from berg this weekend. Getting excited about having it back now, and also got the following parts to fit when I get the car back: - Glass Headlights, which have been refurbed. - Oil temp, pressure and water temp gauges and HKS glovebox gauge holder - Double Din TV headunit - Rear number plate surrounds - Front Strutbrace - S2000 aerial Im on the lookout now for a set of Rota Torques and some coilovers, however have just put deposit on a new house so times are hard currently! Thanks for looking Edited February 19, 2014 by tomsupra1 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much effort, you now need to make your Supra as legendary as the Castrol/Tom's Supra A refurb on your headlights would compliment the kit and wheels on yours IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
