Hibbz Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 i recently bought a 1993 supra 2JZ-GE import as a project car (24/5/2014) it looks a little unloved, but going to give it a really good service, a good clean and made into a track toy, i have helped build a Robin Hood Zero with a 2.0 zetec engine so i know something to a point supra : prior to viewing this made it from London back to Selby with no issues !!! and drove perfect except for a hole in exhaust, but couldn't complain so first thing first was out with the sub build to begin stripping car my mates being mates being how they are came to view my purchase and mock for spotting the oil filter hoped they wouldn't notice the old halfords logo from like 5 years ago !!! so a good service is needed, ordered oil filter (not halfords brand lol) new spark plus, cleaning kit for air filter, just oil to get next. the car had a new radiator fitted, but since the oil filter was crap i thought i'd double check the radiator and it was near enough empty !!! so thats filled up and sorted car came with a Silent exhaust system and apexi air filter and pipe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc92 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Oh hey I was looking at this one on Autotrader but decided against it because I don't have the time to pull out and replace the ugly sound system. I'll be interested to see what you do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibbz Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 well the car is from Aberdeen and had MKiv club stickers in the rear windows but couldn't find anything about it on here but yer i thought WTF? mainly as box was just a top panel on 4 tiny stands, took stands out then a little force and top came off but i do have tiny bits of fiber glass stuck to the boot surround, but that'll get sorted tomorrow hopefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skippyboyo1 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I slightly disagree with the power cap thing al, I fitted one to mine and it worked wonders by stopping the lights dimming. I can't see how 2 would help but hey ho your removing them anyway. Cool mate, keep us posted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike25tt Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 yes mike it is where i live are you the nice black supra who drives down, if so it's smart and very jealous, the 1.2 corsa is mine as a daily so i can spend all my penny on the supra Yeh that's me. My dad lives down George Terrace. I noticed the mkiv club stickers in the window and wondered who it was. I'm sure you will transform it into a decent example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hibbz Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 i hope so mike will a take a while due to funds but if i win the millions it'll all get done alot quicker lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike25tt Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 There's no rush. I spent ages on mine when I first had it imported. I neglected it a few years back and since meeting a few members over the last year through buying and selling bits I regained the supra bug. Not sure what you have planned for yours yet but changing the headlights, rears, fogs and sidelights for facelift/clear ones is a quick fix to tidying the supra up. Add some good hid's and visibility is vastly improved as I couldn't see jack all in the dark with the discoloured plastic lenses and naff bulbs.
