Guest Lee_89 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Well I purchased a supra a few weeks ago from a forum member on here, Its a Black 98 VVTI Tiptronic running full BPU spec, very clean car, drives spot on like it just came out of the factory. So today I have spent a fair few hours Washing the car, using the 2 bucket method then used a meguiars clay bar with detailing spray to remove contaminants, then onto the polishing using chemicals guys slick wet look and to finish off waxing using DoDo Purple haze. I am very pleased with the results. The car is set up to run 1.0 Bar low boost and 1.3 High boost, both turbos have been replaced by CR which now have steel internals, As far as power goes I am very happy with how the cars performs and the only upgrade I would be looking at would be Stand alone engine management and traction control, plenty on the market but it looks like the Syvecs would work out good value for money rather than buying the 2 separate. In regards to future plans for the car are; Drivers side headlight needs taken off and resealing as its misting inside. Carbon Scuttle Panel, I thought whifbitz did these but cant see them on there website anymore? Here are some pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I like that a lot! A nice front lip would finish that off perfectly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Welcome! Very well looked after Supra this one! Seen it at a couple of meets and the bodywork is MINT. Good choice on the Syvecs Easily one of the best mods you can do to the supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lee_89 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I like that a lot! A nice front lip would finish that off perfectly I really like the MVP lip but its too impractical, At the moment the height is perfect for speed bumps and general driving, would be too scared of ripping it off.

The polyurethane one's take speed bumps in their stride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can appreciate that. I've made made the mistake of making my car look the part at the cost of actually being able to use it day to day and regretted it before now. Either way, it looks great. Very envious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
