Well here's my little 'run about' Jap Import Supra. 3.0L non-turbo running about 240-250bhp (not as quick as the twin turbo, but a whole lot cheaper to insure!!).

Currently has:
Full de-cat HKS Drag master zorst (V.loud!)
17" 5-Spoke split rims (255 rear/235 front)
Veilside Front bumper
Veilside Rear spoiler (also doubles as a picnic table! thumbsup )
Aluminium Dash Kit

Next up....
Body mods..
Delock/Handle swap (to smooth out the lines)
Colour change to an 'eye bleeding' purple (see purple photoshop img below)
Bonnet Scoop/Power bulge - fronts too smooth, needs something else..
Interior re-trim.

Engine Mods...
SUPERCHARGER (don't want a single turbo conversion, as everone's got one!) - That's assuming I can find someone who could acutally fit one....logged into every Supra/Jap Car Forum and it's been mentioned loadsa times, but no answers....anyone out there got an idea?

Hey purple's not that bad eek !! The photoshop pic was to give an idea. The colour I'm looking at is called midnight purple. Example can be found here -

The other one's are the 'Candy Concentrates' which are totally amazin colours!

very nice, think you should keep it black though

your front passenger wheel, looks like the camber is out

very nice car, if u want suggestions on colours we have a decent team of photo shoppers who can do some pretty impressive things if u just ask happy
any plans for any engine mods?
Posted By: kenpotaz Re: Kenpotaz: Toyota Supra - 18th Sep 2005 6:46pm
Lawton - camber's OK (honest!) it's just the angle of the photo....well spotted tho!!

Den..I'd like to Supercharge the litte thing as Turbo's don't float my boat (sorry if I've upset anyone who's got a turbo'd car). I know, technically a Turbo is another form of Supercharger (been down that avenue of threads already!), but I like being different - problem is I can't find anyone (or anyone who knows of anyone help ) who has Supercharged a Soop...bit of a bugger really smack !

Welcome to the site, i do like supra's being a toyota lad myself laugh

All of them colours look good but i think it looks sweet in black!! If it was me i'd just get clear indicators on the front and side and leave the outside as it is because it looks smart smile

Whats the non turbo like in terms of performance?

The blue looks gorgeous mate. Nice car, I think I'd prefer a bonnet bulge or two over a scoop.

MisterAdam Whats the non turbo like in terms of performance?
- She's not bad..not as ballistic as the twin turbo, but easier to get the power down (TT's handle well, but have a tendency to seriously lose the back under hard acceleration). Will keep up with the likes of a BMW 330

Cheers Den - love some of those colours happy ....decision, decisions, decisions... doh

Very nice mate, dont change the colour its lovely and as for superchargers the best place to try would be Vortech Engineering
