Hmm, after the first couple of photo's I was going to say I love pizza cutters (I do :-)), but hey replacing them by Supra's isn't a bad choice either. Certainly a more popular one I'd guess!

Lovely looking car, I'd cruise with the auto box myself but I imagine the MPG is rather poor?

That is a thing of beauty, there is something very right about an 80s Japanese slice in white and black. Great plans too, make sure you keep us posted. With the work done, that'll be a feature car for sure |

That's really nice! I was thinking that it'd look nice with a set of rims and some lowering and then scrolled down to your sixth shot ;D ;D  . Are you thinking putting wider tyres on those rims...or wider rims on those tyres? ;D |

Cheers gents, nice comments make all the bleeding, swearing and dirty fingernails worth it! Ruki - mpg is pretty rubbish 20-25 at best I'm guessing Stuyizz - 'twas an ebay motor from a nice chap in Ellesmere Port, the car has been in New Zealand since Japan and arrived in this country in 2000. hkp / 'bishi - hello again! I have to thank you for the inspiration with the conker work- Thanks ;D bryn - I will keep you guys posted of mods great and small rmad - I would love some 15" 16" SSRs or konigs but cannot afford my Supra alloys were free! I need some bigger tyres on the Supra 14"s, the Toyo 225 40 14s are just too small! I need at least a 50 profile. I got a stonking deal on the Toyos so I had to try them out  I have another Supra as well; here is a taster - this one is much more hardcore but not running at the mo ;D (silver one)  will do a thread when I get it going again |
