I'm doing my body first, so I've already got a collection going. Just check out my cardomain on page to for my plans. I already have over half of it, and the shits hard to find ( Mostly Regulus stuff ). The only thing missing from my list is the 2" CFX cowl hood, which I will eventually bribe duane to make me one, at any cost. And maybe even the widebody kit from SSEurope.

theirs a number of Supras runnin around my town, and it's a small town. i'd be shootin for a real stand out car, but not in a rice sort of way. i'd make it targa, clear turn signals and side markers, i'd do some sort of tail light mod, maby a head light mod(have too look into ideas a bit), proly a stock wing, or a small aftermarket one, i luv the idea of suicide doors on almost anything, some nice dish rims, and the appropiat level of drop. and i'll stick with the midnight blue, it looks soo nice.

Wow, I forgot about this thread !

Well I have to change a few things then. Since in this case money is not an object, I'd have a OT bumper (custom do luck type 1 bumper with turbo eh? duct), custom widebody, OT hood (same as first post, except its now "Orion Technologies" hood), carbon fiber door gullwing conversion, truck conversion, slightly blue LED lights for backups; yellow for turn signals on tailights and corners, 91/92 black trim, flush light conversion using some HID rectangular lights (something like early 90s Camaro lights), obviously the aforementioned Kosei K1 TS rims, EVO IX blue, undecided about switching to an 89+ spoiler because for some reason the pre89 fits the bumper surprisingly well, these sort of style CF mirrors:

But I think thats all. Yeah, its crazy, it helps when you know someone too! As far as it being "rice", this would all be after what I have now performance wise plus MAF-T, massive FMIC, 550s, fuel pump, etc.

Might as well tell my secrets for everybody to copy... ;)

First off, I need to buy another Mkiii (91'-92') whenever life decides to let me save some money for once.

This is what my future Mkiii will be and look like:

Interior: Shadow gray leather, if found anywhere, other than that Ill have to go "custom". Carbon-fibre EVERYTHING. Misc. guages etc... 10sec. legal Roll cage, harnesses :blah:

Exterior: Mkiv white. Probably wet-sand the car first, then 3 layers of white and some clear. Maybe add some pearl white. Haven't decided on either the gracer front, s2 front (full) or just lip, or bomex three-hole. Kaminari sides, bomex rears, or s2 carbon-fibre rear diffuser, or both if they fit, and either the Mkiv bomex whale tail, or gracer high wing... or stock 89+. H.I.D. haedlights and fogs. Jdm folding mirrors. *Maybe* clearcorners.coms LED front and rear side markers and blinkers, other than that will leave stock. Chrome CCW split five spoke wheels (these are a definate) 18x8 front & 18x11 rear (maybe 17s don't know yet), and ccw drag wheels. Big brake kit from somebody. *Maybe* a ford 9" rear-end. Who knows, I may even leave the body stock with just a nice paint job.

Performance: Built motor from SP, built r154, some clutch to hold the power, sp78 ddb turbo kit, 4" exhaust, aem, 1200cc injectors, aeromotive external fuel pump and other realted fuel items...etc :blah:

...and A LOT of other suspension, chassis items, and engine secrets. Car will be dragged.

I expect to be about thirty years old when I'am done. All of this, and I also plan to have SP build me a Supra-7.

Completely strip and repaint the entire car. New weatherstrip everywhere.

New trim where needed. (Some is fine.)

Color wise, I'm thinking of a subtle two tone using the upper body line over the fender/quarter flairs as the break, and only making the "darker" part on top. Basicly the tops of the fenders, hood, header panel, tops of the doors, quarters, roof/A posts and rear hatch and wing. The lamps I'd leave vintage 88 since I like them The same goes for the wing.
Wheels and tires I already have. (SSR Comps in 18" with Goodyear GSD3 tires.)
BBK is done. 14" rotors all around, and large 6 pistons up front, 4 pistons in the rear. I'm going to powder coat those calipers candy apple red when I get a chance however.

Tint the windows just a touch. Don't want it too dark, mostly for the UV protection, and heat rejection.

Custom carbon fiber hood. It will be painted to match the car, but with very little base, and only a translucent setup at that. I want to be able to see down into the paint, and pick out the CF weave. It will be vented to pull air out of the engine bay. (If I have to just cut holes, so be it.)

Custom front bumper based on the stock 88 setup. The upper grille will be die ground to open up all the closed mesh squares possible. More flow is the goal.
The lower opening will have a custom grille built for it out of aluminum, and will be opened up on the underside to allow for full flow over the FMIC that is about the same height as the top of the imapct bar. This will be done so you can't see it's cut out from above, but the air does not care, it will be sucked up over the FMIC all the same.

Custom front splitter, and rear diffuser. Possibly a smooth underbody and welded in subframe connectors. Some additional braces added to the floor and other areas I think could benefit from them. I'm tempted to cut off a hard top, and replace my targa setup with it. (Section in a complete hardtop at the A posts and quarter sails.)

Interior wise, a custom Katskin leather cover for every seat, custom door trim panels in leather and Alcantera. Alcantera headliner, and all plastic trim panels and dash covered in alcantera.

NSX headlights and HID lows and high beams. HID driving lights in the stock fog locations.

LED adapted lamps everywhere. Indirect inside LED lights so it makes the inside of the car glow when you open the doors, but you can't see any bright lights anywhere unless you want to turn on a map light or something. (Lights under the dash, seats, and undersides of the doors, so it lights up the ground when you open the doors. Also spot lamps in the mirrors so they light up the sides of the car at night when you open/unlock the doors.)

Underhood lamps that are switchable on the core support near the hood latch release. If you want them, just flip the switch, and they will light up your engine bay so you can check the oil or do any basic maintence you want in any lighting condition. (Would take a few strips of LED's, but would be easy to wire up, and make right.)
Same goes for the hatch area. I'd like two large lamps attached to the underside of the hatch, so when it's open, you can just switch them on, and have a nice flood light effect to light up cargo.

Last but not least, I'd like to setup cornering lights that are switched to your turn signals, so when you want to make a turn at night, they light up your intended path. (Simple 40.00 halogen fog lamps would work fine, and could be hidden, or built into the front cover to point at the sides of the roadway. These are one some nice luxury cars, and I really like having them at night.)

Final touches on the interior would be a DVD/GPS navigaiton setup built into a nice 7" high def touch screen head unit. A few more speakers would be OK tool, along with a set of folding 32" high def LCD TV's in the rear, and a playstation with two driving wheels and pedals for GT4 matches would be awesome. (Really don't need that part, but thought since we are dreaming, why stop at the mundane?)

There's more, but I'm sure you are bored already. :)

I’ve seriously been considering doing this since I got the supra. I had them on my Buick, and feel lost without them on the supra. I thought about dividing the blinker in half horizontally at the corner and leaving the top the blinker, and the bottom corner I’ll put a really bright halogen light. That’s the hard part. Then wiring it up will be easy.

Since my car is already an 89t I won't have to worry about the 3 piece spolier or tail lights, but if I had the money I would proably look at putting some leather seats in, tinting the windows, front lip, 17 or 18 inch wheels undecided about what size, turbo a duct, rear window sunshade, HIDs, and proably jdm lights to replace the U.S lights that's own there now

On the cornering lamp idea, I've been looking at some very small HID driving lamps. If I mounted them in the existing fog lamp locations, it would leave room for a set of regular halogen projector fog lamps to nestle in at an angle so they would shine off to the sides. It would be easy to wire them up to the running lamp circut. I'm pretty sure it's just a custom relay wired into the turn lamp circut, but outside of the blinker because they stay on all the time you have your turn signal switched on.

So, you would need two relays, a cheap set of halogen projector fog lamps for a nice wide beam off to the side when your turning. Then just wire it up. It would look interesting to see two lamps where the stock fogs go, but one set could be recessed slightly, and they would be pointing off to the sides, so I doubt anyone would really notice unless they know what to look for.

I will re-do mine seeing as it's changed a bit since I posted up there.

Re-paint stock colour (blue metallic mica, with stock pinstripes)
Turbo A Duct
Euro turns
Bubble side markers
Rear trim without the marker lights
17" wheels
Carbon fiber hood and headlight covers (with blue weave)
Sunshade


Interior:
Basically stock with a TT-R Momo steering wheel
A few gauges and some other stuff for tuning and whatnot


That's really it, I have been thinking of putting HID's into my fogs just like some other people on here. I never drive with my headlights anyways just my fogs and I would like them a bit brighter, but really haven't looked into it yet.

I already have most of my exterior mods, minus the wheels, CF stuff, Turbo A duct and bubble markers but I will have it all by spring minus the CF stuff and wheels those arn't for a while yet. Actually I should have my markers around Christmas, at least that's when I was told I'd have them.

This is also not getting into suspension stuff I wanna do or engine stuff. Those 2 combined would make a really looooong post and I don't feel like typing all that out :nono:
