mc92 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I saw that one on Ebay, I'll be interested to see how it turns out. Still I don't think a manual Supra for under 2k is too bad even if it is a hooptie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTurtleshead Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 You're doing excellent work sir! Nice to see someone attempting to build a drift car that isn't a scruffy piece of shit, like they normally are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc92 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Looks so much better with the new interior bits in. I agree with you about leaving it in - it's all so light in the Supra anyway it doesn't seem like it'd provide much benefit compared to the downsides.
