Getrag Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Red doesnt normally do it for me but I think this one is pretty good looking. Good price too... http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/detail.asp?i=29405&s=271 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 I preferred red right from the start, here's a pic of mine:) http://img14.exs.cx/img14/2571/14282.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 merckx, At least your's has the correct spats. Originally posted by Getrag http://www.pistonheads.com/classifiedpics/29405-2.jpg http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/detail.asp?i=29405&s=271 Toyota OE skirts and Veilside spats? Looks like a good car for the money. It's probably only that price because it's red. (BTW mate, that first link is pretty pointless) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 It's probably only that price because it's red. Jake Cannot believe you're serious! The only ones I've noticed being cheaper are the white cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getrag Posted October 12, 2004 Author Share Posted October 12, 2004 The first link is a picture of the car, which couldnt be hyperlinked, so I just left it. Then again, im not in combat mode I think the car also needs an aftermarket bumper to finish it off and the alloys help, maybe 18's would be better. Are those Khans, 18?...the long spokes make them look nice and big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham S Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 At least your's has the correct spats. As its quite late, i might get away if this is a daft question Jake, but whats the difference between OE spats and Veilside ones? i've never noticed (but haven't really looked).

Jake Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Originally posted by Graham S whats the difference between OE spats and Veilside ones? i've never noticed (but haven't really looked). Look then! Well mate, they're different shapes. The easiest wat to tell "on the move" is that the bottom of the V ones goes back along the bumper further than the OE ones. Also, the V ones are fibreglass rather than polyurethane and they put your insurance up whereas the OE ones don't. Oh yeah, and not forgetting that THEY LOOK TOTALLY FUCKING DIFFERENT! j/k mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merckx Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 :mad: I'LL FEKIN WHITE CAR YA ALREET!!!!! :mad: There's been a white one on Autotrader for a while now which is much cheaper than the rest. Most of the white ones that I've seen have been dirty, but I've also seen pic's of ones in the states that have been clean and shiny and they do look nice! Don't like people slagging off the red ones, there definately isn't one colour better than another for this car it's just personal preference. I preferred to get the red car but would have been happy to get one in another colour aswell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 eberyone knows red cars are unlucky. I had the choice of red or blue when i was looking. I chose blue based on a fw things, that being one of them. hahahahahahhhhahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salvatore Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Personally i'd steer well clear of red cars (unless it's a ferrari:D ) I had a mk3 supra before in red, and it was a pain to keep the paint looking good. The bonnet and roof gradually fade to that 'orrible pinky-whitey red kinda colour, meaning tons of T-Cut or whatever to keep it lookin' good. However, if constantly polishing your car is your thing, go ahead.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

attilauk Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Personally i would only buy a car like the supra in red or blue and seeing as i dont really like storm blue that much and i cant afford a re-spray then red it is:D plus everyone knows RED ONES GO FASTER lol:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesG Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Red is one of the *easiest* colours to look after. My last car was white and it always looked filthy and was impossible to get a good shine on it. I reckon black is probably the best supra colour, but you really do have to clean and polish it often. Red can be nearly as shiny, but it doesn't show the dirt as much. Mine still looks great after a quick wash and everyone thinks I spend hours waxing it, which I don't James. http://www.compsoc.man.ac.uk/~jamesg/misc/supra_back.jpg http://www.compsoc.man.ac.uk/~jamesg/misc/supra_side.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 That's uncanny, just watching a show on M&M called 2 fast 2 hollywood or something and there was a red and black supra racing each other. I don't think red looks too bad though, even if it's a girls colour:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
