Hey all, new here. Pics & vid of my baby!

[Insidious Surmiser]

for the record... this is the best car forum i've ever come across... period, most of us have a specific "taste" for what we like to do to our cars... and yes, there are plenty of ways to set your car apart w/ out making it look "ricy", just my oppinion, but i'd rather have a supra that looks stock than "ricy"... but i do plan to so some mods to the body, but of course tasteful jdm mods such as....

mods done already...
jdm jza70 fogs + jdm 3.0 turbo badge

91-92 supra wheels painted gunmetal (i had the sawblades)

plan on at least getting a lip of some sort for the car, maybee a front splitter as well... possibly over or wider fenders, regulus nose, maybee a molded wing... we'll see about that though.... but my point is there are several "tasteful" mods to be done to set your car apart w/ out making it looks like "rice", and another major thing is that we don't like to see a car, especially a supra, beaten on... there is a propper way to drive a car hard... wait 10 min till after it's at full operating temp.... then drive it, but there's still a certain amount of respect involved... well i hope we didn't come across in the wrong way, but that's basically the reasons for the actions taken... gl w/ the supra though, and i can only hope you'll understand what i'm trying to say, i'm not the best w/ words

Everyone is just stating their opinion, which everyone is entitled to, obviously. Don't worry about what everyone else says, do what you like.

P.S. I still like your taillights! :naughty:

 

[CFSapper]

im going have to agree to disagree with your on the wing im afrade

But i still love those taillights:love:

 

[Alpha WereFox]

Any of you can have my mod'ed or stock 88 tails for the newer ones, a trade.

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

Why is it if someone doesn't have something stock on their car everyone has to make fun of it or say take it off. God forbid its not OEM or too ricey. You all keep your cars mostly stock just so others don't make fun of you on the forums yet I can tell some of you want to do mods to your car that are considered ricey. Take a stand and do something different than everyone else, why do what everyone else likes or does. My car has to be different than any other car. I don't care if its a Dodge Shadow or a Supra, I must be different in some kinda way. I don't understand people sometimes, its the same on every car forum. I'm almost 24 and don't need this kinda stuff and be treated like a 16 year old kid. If this is how every car forum is I just don't need it.

The rest of your car looked fine to me, to me the wing and (non-functional) scoop just looks silly.
As always it's up to you to do what you want with your car.
You like it, keep it.
Nuff' said.

Like I said before, take the comments with a grain of salt. It's the internet for crying out load You have just as much "right" to be here as the next guy. Don't let it get to you, because, yes, most forums are like that. But I too find this one to be better than most. I may not agree with everything you've done to her, but so what, there are a lot of thing that a lot of other members do that I don't like. (but unlike others I don't flame, flamers = gay :icon_razz ).

P.S........my car is not stock

Want a little better treatment on this forum? Don't make a video of your car driving around in circles in a wet parking lot!:icon_razz :nono: Also, making your Supra look like a "riced out" honduh will never get you any respect amongst the Supra crowd. You might not like that attitude, but it is fact. Most of the Supra owners on here, have alot of pride that their cars are so unique compared to honduhs and the likes of. If you take that into consideration when you mod your car, you will be okay. I would say there is a certain amount of responsibility to the Supra community, when you start putting up vids like the one you did. I've been on here now for awhile. My car looks good, and I'm happy with the progress I've made. She's making 320whp/343tq at 11.5psi...respectable. However, I would not even consider making a video of a burn-out, or cookies, just because it is stupid, and wasting people's time to watch something that has been done a million times before. Bring something new, and fresh, and respectable to the forum, and you will see a whole different side of the forum members. These are a great group of car enthusiasts here. The Supra community is probably better than any I've been associated with in the past, and way better than the others my son has been, or is currently associated with.
Keep your chin up, enjoy your Supra, and don't expect instant respect, for doing crazy things to your car.(I;e wing, and roof scoop)
P.S. Your tail light mod is pretty cool!

 

[theKnifeArtist]

wow i just watched that video of your and uhhh....



i won't say anything.
:nono:

 

[Jspec7m88]

Well...On any type of forums, it's meant that you state your opinion and discuss. Things can get out of hand sometimes, of course. It happens.

But people, there is a fine line between "stating your opinion" and "being an asshole". Honestly. To be completely honest with you, nothing bothers me more than seeing someone go down in flames just because they prefer something you don't.

If he got on here dissing your car and calling you a retard for getting BHG, should you be offended? Most definately. But that's not the case here. We have a guy that got a Supra, he obviously LOVES it and has a passion for it as he spoke in his original post. Maybe it doesn't have a 95mm turbo or 7,000 shot's of Nitrous, but it does have what he wants it to have, and that is the important part.

Again, nothing wrong with opinions people, but think about what you say and HOW you say it. That's all I ask for. Quite frankly, I'm starting to look up to Supraforums now...Good Lord.

I'm done.

Jeff, may you now be the one to be :flamed: ........Supraforums sucks ass! It is being taken over by the MKIV punks, and the MOD's think they are God. The only reason I ever get on there is to communicate with my local MKIV friends. It's evident that anyone with any MKIII knowlege has vacated that place, and made this their home. Go read the MKIII technical page for a few minutes, and check out the amount of elementary questions being asked, and the droves of newbs that join in without a clue. I'm no genius myself, but I feel pretty smart when I read over there. That usually doesn't last long.

Back on topic.........

I think Alpha should be respected for the simple fact that he has rescued a N/A, and is proud of it. Most N/A owners are scared of even posting, for fear they will be flamed for not going turbo yet. There are thousands of N/A owners out there, but this guy has the balls to show pride in his. There should be more like him. His heart is in the right place (welcome to Supramania Alpha), if you don't like his mods, do you have to flame? I don't think so.

Eh, I'm an NA auto owner and I posted pics of my car

 

[ForcedTorque]

Great!, now when ya gonna turbo it?.......JK

You guys are not forgotten in my book. My point was that this site is very turbo dominated. It's natural though, as most forums members are interested in performance. And what better way to improve performance can you think of for a Supra. A car can be nice without being fast........just ask your buddy with the new RX-8....or Eclipse........or 350z

Heh. No worries, my friend. It was mostly a word of sarcasm. I hate Supraforums with a passion and I ALWAYS make fun of them on here. I was just trying to make a point that "SF'Style" members are starting to pop up more frequently on SM. Truth be told, but oh well, right? :icon_bigg

^No personal harm meant, just kinda had to slam SF where I saw it possible. I had just left SF checking on a FS thread I had, and it had been removed, with no Mod notification with a reason. The first post I read when returning to my Home (SM) was yours, so it naturally had to come out. Sorry, it wasn't personal.

 

[akito]

hey!!! the same goes to me of how u got the car. I loved my neighbor's supra for like a long ass time. He left it sits for for 1 full year, august of 05 till now. Now that baby is mine ^_^. Obsessed and in love with the car. Got it 4 $400, run strong and smooth, som dings in the right rear panel and paint is old. But i love it, yur mod is fine, like they said, each has their own taste. Keep up the good work

 

[Alpha WereFox]

Thanks guys for being a bit more friendly. I really appreciate it. As for turbo goes, I plan on saving for a 2JZ. The neons are off as of tonight. And I put a new radiator in my baby today. The old one was original, still workin with a TINY hole near the rad cap, but I figured since it had 194k miles on it, it was due. I try to keep my car in best shape possible. And every like 2 mins I eye my temp gauge. Gotta keep Supras cool. I met a few guys tonight and they like older Supras. One had a 98 VTEC 5 speed integra and wanted to trade me for his teg, and I said "Hell no, I love my Supra too much."

Here's proof I took off the neons, I put one on my ceiling above my comp as like a mood light. Tired of underglow breaking.

 

[kwnate]

The neons weren't that bad, oh well...

 

[da89soup]

A car can be nice without being fast........

It Can????????????:biglaugh:

 

[ForcedTorque]

^ Ya, I would classify a new 350Z as nice
