It's been a while since I first purchased my Supra now and when I bought it, it was in good condition (albeit a few scratches on the bumper and signs of age here and there). The car itself was totally stock with the exception of some aftermarket 17" equip alloys.
The wheels were OK to say the least, but whilst driving home one of the tyres started to gradually deflate. Initially I thought it was a puncture, however it turned out to be 3 pin hole cracks on the inner rim causing air to constantly be squeezed out under the pressure. So whilst I was on the hunt for new wheels I had to stop off at my local garage for air every 2-3 days.
Eventually however I found a nice set of stock 17" alloys in great condition from member 'Movistar'. He even brought them to my home address for convenience. So the old wheels were taken off and the 'new' wheels put on.
After this time things were going well until I had an overheating problem, turned out I needed a new water pump. So that was done next.
Due to the car being lowered on Green KYB lowering springs, it made it rather difficult to get over the speed bumps and into the local city centre car park, so suspension was next on the list.
After speaking to Paul at Whifbitz I decided to get a new set of BC Racing Suspension fitted and had it raised up to near stock height...much better.
Whilst it was with Paul, I also decided to have a new exhaust put on to add a bit of 'aggresion' to it. So I opted for the 'Whifbitz 2.5" single box exhaust' - not too loud but a lovely nice rumble
Lastly, as the car was a stock J-Spec it of course came with a set of lovely yellow lights and orange 'blob' inicators. So I finally got around to purchasing UK Glass Headlights and Facelift front indicators to modernize the look. However, as the front bumper had visable scratches all around it I decided to get the bumper resprayed prior to fitting them. Oh I also had a smaller license plate made up and added rear tinted windows for aesthetic purposes.

Don't think I'll be adding a body kit or anything dramatic. I'll be having my dash resprayed in Matt Black soon along with maybe purchasing a few subtle interior items (i.e. new headunit, new steering wheel etc.) But, that's it for now - Thanks for looking.
