The year is 1994, I was about 7 when I saw this:

"4Trohoi" (4wheels) was the major automotive magazine in Greece by the time... Supra was a car that never imported officially to Greece..

I felt in love with that through the magazine's photos and later on through video games and internet...

It was a car that kept me awake a lot of nights, and that I wanted too bad to own one day....

 

19 years later I am a proud owner of one N/A Aerotop...

 

2 weeks ago I bought MrTwo's black aerotop... and I promised him to take care of her :)

 

The car has cusco coilovers, cusco front and rear strut braces, 4 pot brakes etc.

 

I received the car on the 16th of November, I arrived in Bradford at midnight so I din't take any photos of the car...

 

Day 1... I figured out a small capacity issue these cars have:

First Addition:

Gunmetal ROTA Drift Force 9x18 and 10.5x18....

After that I took out the japanese headunit and the OZ steering wheel

and fitted the Pioneer Appradio , and a TRD steering wheel:

so that's all till now...

to come next:

 

Recaro type seats (I am strangling with the mounts)

Torsen LSD (already got one from Dazzi waiting to be fitted by mr Kirk)

Re Trim the centre console

Change Interior Lighting to white/red

Thinking of changing the front Bumper to a topsecret one

 

sorry for the long post

Everyday I love her more and more

I'd like to thanks MrTwo for trusting her to me, Iky and Havard for their advices

 

Kalimera!

Very nice Supra and well done on getting one :)

Thanks : )

 

Lovely car mate, black looks awesome and an aero is even better :) I play football in Bradford every Monday so I am sure I will bump into this car (not literally I hope LOL). If you need any help or advice give me a shout.

 

I am free on Mondays after 18:00 so why not! where do you play?

Thanks again!

Thanks Guys, I am also very happy with the car, and I have a lot of plans for her :)

 

you also have the added bonus of it being polyurethane and not FRP so wont crack

 

and that's something I didn't know! thanks for the info! :D

I have this small issue with my dashboard

[ATTACH=CONFIG]178011[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]178012[/ATTACH]

 

would it be just a clip or something more serious than that?

 

It's a very common supra problem, the top of the dash starts to warp and the vinyl sometimes starts to de-laminate. Could be due to exposure to string sunlight, age etc.

Might have to take the dash out and get an upholsterer to fix it.

It's going to be fitted during this week and It's going to be a good oportunity to send all the dash trims off for trimming...

 

also on wednesday I am going to fit the LSD on her
