Carbon_Bullet Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) Welcome to my thread, which hopefully will be a lot more detailed than my last, I personally think I own an awesome Supra already, which I can drive and enjoy, however part of the fun is being in the garage building something, I've recently purchased a second supra, nothing special As it's a 1996 Facelift NA auto, it was a Barn find in north wales and I feel with the current market values I got it for a bargain at £XXXX With this supra I'm not doing body kits & spoilers, I'm going for the Op Stock look with nice wheels and a Lip, currently torn between RSP & Anthricate colour wise, but spraying it is months away. Bonus side of this purchase is the interior except driver seat is in outstanding condition as the previous owner only used it to go to work and back, another plus is it came with UK spec discs & Calipers. So future plan is to strip it down, recondition the subframes, fresh underseal, replace anything over worn, spray the exterior, spray engine bay black, windows out, I don't intend on going single turbo with it, but then again I have been looking at VVTI TT engines & Titan auto boxes, all depends on what money I have spare. Few things I've already purchased for the car are :- Uk Spec Bonnet Uk spec rear bumper S2000 aerial Facelift headlights (current ones where prefacelift :/ ) New Clear side indicators New clear front indicators Fuel tank cover New UK spec front and rear Brake pads V2 urethane earless Lip Still on the prowl for :- BC or TIEN coilovers 18" alloys - been looking at the XXR & JR lately How the car sits at the minute The final look I'm aiming for Edited July 17, 2017 by Carbon_Bullet (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Don't go blue! Only because I'm still tempted on mind and it would be near identical to above!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foggy147 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 That blue looks perfect, hard to beat a Supra in blue. Thinkthe JR10 wheels really suit a Supra, not to in your face and really suit the car! Can't wait to get mine fitted when they do eventually arrive!!

Andrew K Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Nice project this will be Chris, always love following your builds so will be subscribed to this to see how it turns out and what you do with it. Choosing the colours will be tough as there both really nice but if it was me I'd be leaning more towards the Anthricate colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon_Bullet Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 Just took this baby out for a little drive. I actually really really really enjoyed it. Nice gearbox, comfortable, smooth drive. I actually quite enjoy an auto supra. Who new?!?! Always had a manual and somewhat frowned upon the autos. I could sell my Audi an use this as a daily haha. I've recently sold those Rota alloys as I wasn't fond on the offset, an the final look would have been different. Although I said nice Op Stock supra, I'm looking at those Nur Arches for that fat stock look.... hmmmmmm what should I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine bailey, although I can recall being ahead of someone on a motorway in another supra Im glad you sold those rotas! I'm glad too, was a random buy. Didn't really want them I just bought them haha. However there now gone an I can buy the set I really want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon_Bullet Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) Today's antics, First mission for me after the purchase was to check what the underneath was like. Don't think it's had an underseal at all however the underneath seems alright, subframes are 100% going to need a refurb, along with a good thorough underseal. What was slightly weird is wheel arches seem to have been under sealed, no idea why someone would do a half job. On from that was a headlight refurb. Meguairs headlight kit did a great job, an only took an hour Edited June 9, 2017 by Carbon_Bullet (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
