InvisibleMonkey's 1988 1JZ Single Supra

[InvisibleMonkey]

Last saturday I picked this Supra up from Virginia, it was in amazing condition and seemed to be done properly so I decided I wanted to go see it. My friend Brandon (BrandonW on the forums) took me down to VA to go look at it and it looks so much better in person. I picked it up and about a half hour into actually owning the car, I mess up the front lip which you will see in the pictures (but my friends fixed it for me in about 5 minutes last night). Then on the chesapeake bay bridge seagulls decide to poo all over my freshly cleaned car while I had the targa off but luckily I didn't get any on me or in the car. Got it home and the alternator died on me. I have replaced the battery and the alternator but for some reason the alternator plug doesn't sit properly and won't clip itself in so the vibration from the motor shimmys it out. I'm going to have to take the alternator off again and see if there's something blocking the plug.

After that ****ty story here is what you clicked the thread for...pictures!

Nice car, im surprised you put up with the RHD mirrors, I had a set on my car for about three days before they pissed me off. My LHD set should be in today.

 

[InvisibleMonkey]

they're a little awkward, but the passenger's side (the japanese driver's side) mirror has a convex mirror on it that the previous owner put on and the driver's side (japanese passenger side) is awkward because cars are a LOT closer than you think

i don't mind it so much though

 

[JDMMA70]

I know it has a convex glass both sides, the problem is the angle at which the mirrors are presented. The (our) driver side is easy to get used to the passenger side not so much. I made a thread on this exact topic. Take a look at your mirrors and look at how the japanese driver side is angled out more while the passenger side is angled in more. Look at your black supra you'll see its the opposite, this is the reason for the akwardness.

[InvisibleMonkey]

The battery and alternator went. I replaced both.

Nice buy on a very nice Supra. Glad to see this one fell into the hands of a real MKIII Supra owner. Happy modding.
