RichACL Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Hi everyone, I thought i would start a build thread on our Supra. We are going to be building a Fast & Furious tribute/replica and thought it would be good to document it here, as well as on our social media and youtube. Obviously the F&F Supra has been done multiple times, but we will be doing a bare shell build on the car and to a really nice standard. Having been a long time Supra fan, i found myself watching Just Driven youtube series on the build they have just recently completed. Craig Lieberman posted an update video on that build & mentioned that they had moulds done for the kit & were producing 6qty kits to a really high standard. I got in touch with Craig who i know to some degree through a couple of car deals for US clients, he put me in touch with James at Just driven & they had 1qty kit remaining, which we immediately secured. In the meantime i managed to find a Aerotop TT which looked to be the perfect base of such a build, and after some serious work managed to secure a used set of the correct Racinghart 19" wheels which i dare say i thought would be the biggest challenge. The kit has since arrived with us & it is very nice quality, we have also managed to get all new roof seals, window trims, rubbers etc. Also got a Nitrous kit & the correct Greddy intercooler kit. We will start the strip down most likely in the new year, once we have some customers cars finished & moved on. We are looking to get all parts for a manual swap together first, convert to manual, do a few test miles then strip down and start the build. I will try to upload some pictures of the base car as a starting point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamilton Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Hi Rich. Really looking forward to seeing this take shape. I followed the Just Driven F&F replica build on YouTube too and thought they did a fantastic job. Well done on finding the parts you’ve got so far- those wheels couldn’t have been easy to track down! Please keep us posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
