The best kit car?

Don't think this would get any votes:

Tributes GT coupe. Based on a Supra, est cost is £6k

Link here

Just hope DM didn't buy one of these in his drunken stupor!

I don't think that looks too bad from the front.

The rear is another matter.

Looks horrific.

Ruined a perfectly good Supra with that!

Considering the TT swap or NA-T at some point (once I have the cash) but honestly just enjoying the NA for now.

I just couldn't ever have a jap performance car with an auto. Just seems defeatist to me! :eek:

Are the eyebrows gone on your Supra yet Nath?

Thats what I thought until I drove the auto supra.

Eyebrows are gone but I currently have a nice new set of UK spec glass lights in the post

Along with front leather seats, which is win.

Its the lack of boost I'd be more concerned with.

The autobox is actually pretty good. At the end of the day Supras have always been on the 'Grand Tourer' side of the fence rather than being out and out sports cars. It shifts smoothly, can handle a fair wack of power, easily uprated, easily adapted to operate in a tiptronic mode. As long as you're not pounding a track 24/7 the auto is more than sufficient for most.

Yeah, it's entirely possible. Closest I've come to a jap performance car is the Lexus IS-F Dad had as a courtesy car - not quite in the same basket really

Some pics would be nice when you get them fitted

Any other plans atm?

Looks like a child has tried to make something that looks like a Bentley out of play-doh

semi-pro waster · 19 Jun 2011 at 18:46

I'd give them some credit for trying to make something different but I've got to say I much preferred the look of the original car.

Cookeh · 19 Jun 2011 at 21:33

The thing I don't get is the square bonnet.

GT doesn't have one, nor does the supra :confused:

white makes it look worse

Yeah man will update the shows us your motor thread once I have done them!

Only other plans at are get all the plugs changed all fluid etc. The possibly considering doing a full LED dash conversion and then ICE to go with it. a lot of stuff to do, just taking it a step at a time! Will probz make a seperate thread when it's finally done lol.

The good news is, it's only parked a few feet from that river, easy to roll it in there

"andy" · 20 Jun 2011 at 10:37

I would've guessed that was based off a S2K or an MX5 but after googling it, actually sounds even cooler
