The mkiv Supra Owners Club

Hello from Northern Ireland

Hey this is how i bought my supra. I did a deal for my wrx impreza a few months ago. I have always wanted a mk4 supra after owning a mk3 supra. The supra has got a folder full of receipts from toyota ranging from a few pound for genuine toyota headlight bulbs to a few thousand for all new suspension arms and bushes. The previous owner obviously spent a fortune on the car just before i bought it.

The terrible stickers and wheels

image

Then came a few interior changes

image

Then some big changes

image

image

And some difference a change of wheels and coilovers makes

image

And finally after its first proper clean

image

After this I decided it needed to be nosier so bought a 3 inch cat back for it. The car already had a small diameter custom decatted exhaust but it just wasnt loud enough. Now it is a 3 inch straight through to the back box.

image

Also got an omex rev limiter and launch control fitted

image

The launch control is the little blue button on the gear stick.

Heres a video of what it sounds like and with the limiter

It was a GA70 with a 1g gte engine.

 

Hopefully i will have a big update to follow once i get everything bought for the turbo conversion. Other plans include a cage and some new seats. Thanks for reading

Supra Specialists Ireland are at Loanends on the seven mile straight, close to the international airport. It's run by Colin and Marty (Bondango's his username on here) and I couldn't recommend them highly enough, two great guys that have many years of experience and totally honest/trustworthy with it. They've a facebook page (search SSI).

Nice! :cool: coming along well mate. The works are cool, was looking forward to seeing how the starion wheels looked on it tho, there's a nice set of blasted and polished (Starion) ones for sale on DW but they're 16s :(

Yea i will still be fitting the starion wheels but they need a bit of arch modification to fit. Going to wait till its getting a respray to do the arches just. I will look out the photos of them fitted.

Havent updated this in a while. Well the car is now basically of the road for the winter now but since it has been finished i have loved every minute of driving it. Heres a few pictures from throughout the year.....

Trying to set up my innovate gauges

My attempt at an arty picture with my daily driver and supra poking out of the garage lol

 

image

After 500 miles of letting everything get bedded in i had to release some steam

 

image

A day spent cleaning at a mates house

 

image

 

image

Test fitted my work vs editions

 

image

Even got the girlfriend helping to clean it

 

image

I then added 25mm spacers to the front. Made some difference.

Supra spoilers are great for drying your drying towel on

 

image

Wee interior shot after it was all cleaned up

 

image

Another shot of the daily and the supra

Then these arrived from Noz off here. Hopefully let me run around the 400bhp mark

 

Over the winter the car is going to get properly cleaned underneath and waxoiled again along with all new braided brake lines fitted. I also bought a set of ls400 front brakes so they will be fitted at the same time. As for performance plans i will be fitting my 440cc injectors along with a walbro 255 pump then it will be getting sent away to get mapped. Other plans include getting a rear cage made up and fitted. Few other plans include new seats as well as my current ones are starting to get very worn looking so hopefully get my hands on a set of brides.

 

Sorry its so picture heavy but hope you enjoyed reading this post.
