Hi all!Want to show you my new old toy

I bought this one just on this New Year.

It is worth mentioning that I've not been going to buy any car in my motherland (Ukraine) cause for 2 years I live in UAE(Dubai) and come to Ukraine maybe one week per month.

So one evening I had little dispute with my friend about racing and fast cars. To be precise about his Volvo 242 (1978 y.o)

I was telling something like I don't understand for what he is trying to make fast car from this old coupe. And we finished on point that I will do better faster car from any JDM until 2002.

In my city on market I found only Nissan Skyline r34 in sedan already tuned on garret gt30 about 500hp and this Supra.First my visit was to Nissan's owner, everything was not bad,but not coupe, then I came to check Supra.

It is 1997 RHD JZA80 2jz-gte AT .And I was shocked... it was rotten and painted by scotch tape , front fenders I could see bare metal, rear fenders became yellow,mirrors were all scratched and broken, interior was totally destroyed, all suspension was killed , I tried to drive in city centre and I could hear all parts under floor.Two parts were only not bad: HKS exhaust and changed engine with 30-40 k km using.

After one week I could reduce price for this Supra for 50% and decided to restore it fully.It was this New Year(2018)

I bought it and immediately gave it to three boxes to make everything clear

I think enough to understand how terrible it was...

Now I guess to much disppleasure from you about why it's not in stock...Well, it's my first experience in JDM and tuning at all.I tried to make something unique.

First of all I found Top secret full bodykit Gt300 untouched from 2011 year,it was in occupied territory of my country and it was not so easy to get it from war zone.

When my people received it...It was also not pretty and too heavy.

But after 2 months it lost 30 kilos and became fully restored with some custom :)

Process you can see here

Next step was color...I don't know why I chose this color,but I like it still

maybe I'm gonna to change it

At the same time I decided to change my interior into brown eco-leather,alcantara and Aluminium AQ.

I really enjoy this time when I drive it, also on stock turbo kit it's amazing and all attention in city on this car.

Now car also under process: some parts of interior remaking, outside some little mistakes with lines and repainting with grey-matte lacker , making new electrical wiring and installing new suspension, brakes and coilovers

In my next steps I want to change interior aquaprint for carbon,waiting for my LED rare lights, install wing,make sound system and go single turbo

I chose BorgWarner EFR 8374, but now hard to choose A/R housing and WG,injectors,manifolds. Hope for your help.I want street car with quick spool on 600-660hp with methanol system and sometimes participate in drag in 11+ seconds

What about my friend ...(on the begging of story) - he is also now seeking for any JZA80 :cool:

Hope you enjoyed my story and will take me like your mate
