Guest Shell Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Hello as the title states my partner and I are building a tribute/replica of the fast and furious supra. Yes it is not everyone's cup of tea and we know its not the right model as its not an aero top for a start and a lot of the parts will be hard to source. It is being done as we already built this It's is mainly being done as a tribute the same as the eclipse is. We have the bodykit which we have fitted just waiting on side skirts to be delivered (bit of issue with supplier). I will update with more pictures as we go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc92 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Good luck with the project, be interesting to see how it goes. The movie Supra isn't to my tastes but I appreciate it's an iconic movie car and as you say, different strokes for different folks. Looks like it'll be a quality build if the Eclipse is anything to go off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shell Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Thanks this is the base car Got her cheap ish she's an auto n/a looks like hardest thing will be sourcing a TRD style bonnet, so if any one has any ideas I'm all ears have posted a wanted thread too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkddav3 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Good luck with the project. There's been a few replicas in the past but none of have been aerotops! And the hardest thing to find will be the racing harts, like hens teeth good luck with it all though. Love the original Car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shell Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Racing harts are available in the states I think but cost a pretty penny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the original Car I hate it when people do the Fast and Furious Supra replica and it's not even an aero, it's like they've cut corners already and failed massively at making a replica.

tony tt Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Nice. Will it be an na replica or big single? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I hate it when people do the Fast and Furious Supra replica and it's not even an aero, it's like they've cut corners already and failed massively at making a replica. Exactly, if its not a real aero its not even a replica in my book. This will be the third f&f hardtop replica on the forum we know of..

Brazil Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 There was an aero for sale recently for like 3k too? yep, most of them are n/a too so really a 'real replica'..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LasseV Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 yep, most of them are n/a too so really a 'real replica'..! Well, the original stunt car from the movie scene was n/a It was sold few weeks ago with price tag of 185t$ or so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostman Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 It sure started as an NA! [emoji1] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shell Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Obviously we couldn't get an aero top at the time or we would have and our eclipse started out with a sun roof but had it removed and roof scoop fitted as I said I expected some people to be against it. It is going to be a tribute as much as a replica. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemanhead Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Well it can only be a tribute, not a replica. Why not wait and buy an aero top before throwing ££ at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binfieldx Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Make your own aerotop http://www.talkingproud.us/Military/Pedros/PedrosBravery/files/jawsoflife.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnPreece Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Was great seeing the eclipse in the flesh at bournemouth its really well done and a great car so looking forward to the updates on this one to go with it, especially as I know that you do alot of work for Paul Walkers charity so is a great project for you and hope it goes well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cered Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Seen an eclipse and supra replica ona driveway (think the image was on here actually). I was insanely jealous as they both looked terrific Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Good to see you put a thread up. Be good to see if done with the eclipse, civic and RX7 you where telling us about at Bournemouth. on another not you should be buying these- http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?323771-Full-custom-interior-leather-and-alcantara Pretty simliar to the FNF interior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamaSupra Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 We've seen a couple of Fast and Furious replicas made on here and they have all failed in my opinion because they are hardtops. Could you not sell the hardtop and wait for an aerotop to come up? They do sometimes come up at cheap prices I just think it would be nice to see someone do something different, by using an aerotop base car for a Fast and Furious replica for a change The Eclipse looks fantastic, I'm really liking that a lot!! So please, please use an aero so it's as good as the eclipse. I'm sure it'll look awesome whatever you do and I can't wait for pics of it's progress. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shell Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) Trouble is doubt we could sell the hard top for enough to get the aerotop Obviously would love to do it properly but needs must at the time Edited June 15, 2015 by Shell (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
