The most immediate plans are:

- Replace the front bumper with something that doesn't look as ludicrous
- Paint the rear spoiler 0040 super white
- Adjust the rear exhaust to a better fitment/angle
- Will remove that out of place foglight and mod the rear lights to incorporate it instead.
- Go enjoy it

Long term:

- New alloys
- TT engine transplant
- Restoration of all parts that are getting on in years (20 years now)
- Slowly revert everything back to a stock look

good, at least you are doing the correct thing. most people would turn it from stock to what it is now.

Couple from today at Blyton park again First time out on proper track tyres + with Whiteline ARB (And a bit less weight too) and the difference is absolutely amazing, car feels completely planted in the corners and had a few arse clenching moments where I nearly lost it while on 3 wheels! Really showing up how poor the standard diff is now, Quaife after Christmas I reckon...

I had a mk6 Fiesta, brilliant car, the handling is extremely encouraging. Always thought they'd make awesome track cars.

I agree that it might be a bit out there, and large gaps between the panels is never a good look.. But a stock Supra?

Aren't you legaly obliged to modify a Supra?

Those pop rivet bits need to go also!

Good man, These cars only look best stock, I'm assuming its an N/A? I'm after an N/A since I can't afford a TT just yet.

Also is it auto or Manual?

Given how the response to the last Supra went, this should go down well

Here is my project Supra that I recently picked up.

Still needs work done with engine / body before it is ready but slowly getting there.[/quote]


I hope you punched the previous owner square in the face for doing such crimes against the car!

Surely if your going to go the TT route, it would be far cheaper long term just buying a TT?

It's manual. If you look on the mkiv owners club, there is a black n/a manual for just under 2k.

It could be a lot worse. At least the kit is the full widebody version and completely genuine, so worth quite some £££. I've seen a lot worse out there.

Yeah it might be cheaper to go with a new TT, will see how I feel after some time with this car.
If I'm going to go to the effort of fully restoring it, then I think I will probably want to continue with it rather than selling it on. Time will tell

The LPG one? Meh, its not a Supra without the spoiler

Also i'm after an Aero, If I was gonna save some cash i'd spend to have it converted to a TT6.

Ah fair, good luck. Aero N/A's to TT conversions always bring in some good money

The only way a stock one would be better is if it was brand new and never touched.

Other than that there are many, many better looking supras than a box standard stock one (my opinion of course)

 

[T0pPredator]

I think they can look great when modified in a way that is a bit less over the top and a bit more tasteful. I've never seen a stock one in the flesh tho..

Found showing it's face in this months Fast Ford magazine...had no idea until a friend tagged me on Facebook

Yeah, seen a few go for top dollar, If I do happen to go through with it, I think i'll be keeping it for a rather long time Watching the value appreciate.

New to this forum, it seems a strange yet common link - cars and computers I mean, so here is my contribution. It's a VW golf I been tinkering with, unlike my rig which is stuck in the Stone Age with it's q9550

 

[InvaderGIR]

Well that's different, in a good way, apart from the wheel colour.

 

[peterattheboro]

I like that. I hope it's been on track

 

[shauncr91]

I'm all for saving weight but even I wouldn't remove the gear knob!

Car looks great, bet it goes like the clappers.

 

[Melmoth]

Thanks everyone, it's not seen so much in the way of track use recently, been too busy with work, things look better at the start of next year though. The focus of this build has been handling, having said that it is running 300bhp per ton and will be in excess of 400bhp per ton at the start of the year with it's new top mounted gt3071r which will be around the same time as the next brake upgrade.
Unfortunately, owing to circumstances, I'm forced to use it as my daily drive - which is less than ideal.

Haha i certainly wasn't expecting those picture after seeing the first for some reason!
