Finally got my kit on!!! (warning: it's a supra)
 
I've noticed a ton of nice rides here. Thought I'd add a little flavor to the lot and show you guys mine :) Check it out: http://www.webshopllc.com/swedemix/S..._VA_Meet2.html -

It's the white supra. I don't know about you guys , but I get nightmares when I'm away from my car. So, the whole time at the shop I was a wreck. After she came back, I was pleasantly surprised. :)

You got one cool car. Is that a Bomex series bumper? I'm not sure so correct me if I'm wrong. Kinda too many vents for my taste, but supras are crazy anyway you look at it. nice..

JQUEST2 04-23-2002 04:56 PM

yup - good guess - the front and rear are bomex and the sideskirts are varis - i'm staill waiting for my wing - just dunno when it's coming in :dunno:

Sinfestboy 04-24-2002 03:41 PM

no offence, but Im not a fan of that body setup.... sorry. it just doesnt flow correctly.... and hood scoops do NOT belong on supras, lol

driftintoacurb 04-25-2002 09:07 PM

On the road, it wouldn't really matter sinfestboy, all you would be looking at is the taillights :p

The hood scoop may not belong but its actually functional. It helps feed air directly to the air port that helps cool the turbo.

ok, then its all good.

but if it wasnt functional I would tell you it didnt belong :)

but if you wanted to help cool it, why didnt you get a hood with vents, like one of these 2?:

and yes, I know the first one is F&F, they ruined that hood forever:mad:

PSM 04-27-2002 12:07 PM

Yeah those hoods are very nice and VERY pricey. The scoop I believe just bolts on to the OEM hood. Cheaper solution to cooling.

Those extra vents on the TRD hoods you listed are there to release heat from the engine bay. It looks damn nice though!

JQUEST2 04-28-2002 04:55 PM

The hood scoop is actually oem for the european supras - my only concern with those other hoods would be keeping rain out of the engine - i'm wondering a believer that the body kits helps - I went down to the track last night and my personal best was 12.4 - now after the body kit, she ran a 12.3 - it's a small difference but at least it's a bonus :)

Nice ride :) I'm a big fan of the Supra, the recent model series that is ;)

All you need know is the wing your waiting for, I hope your not referring to an aluminum GT wing :nono:

JQUEST2 04-29-2002 04:20 PM

aluminum? well sort of....lol

here's the link to what it looks like - as fas as I know, there are only two being shipped to the states - one guy's in L.A and the other is me. hopefully, it'll be in about another month or so, the shop said it would have to be special ordered

http://www.importfan.com/product.asp?0=360&1=363&3=855

i hope it comes in soon - for me, i believe money is wasted until your product comes in cause that's money you could be putting to use.. :)

driftintoacurb 04-29-2002 04:43 PM

Ouch $900! Looks sweet though. Hope to see it on your car sometime soon.

GTspecR 04-30-2002 04:58 AM

I guess this wing is ok since it will color match your car, its still kinda pricey though.

Did you order it from Evolution?

JQUEST2 05-01-2002 11:14 AM

yup -ordered it from evolution - my other stuff came in quick - they told this would take about 6-8 weeks - well, i'm halfway there now ...grrr.....it's SOOOOOOOOOOO long!!!!! well, i hope i'm pleasantly surprised ... :)
