Let's play a game, who's car would yours mimic...
- Thread starter rakkasan
- Start date
Jeff Lange's Interior, it's just so clean and stock looking, yet has all kinds of awesome subtle differences that only a Supra owner would notice, like the Headunit that matches the color of the dash, the 89+ steering wheel, and the TRD Shift knob.

For the exterior probably Joe's car. It's mostly stock, clean, and has just a few subtle differences to set it apart. Wingless with the hatch visor, a nice lip, and a set of wheels that don't seem gaudy or over the top.

But the car that made me want a Supra in the first place was Ron R's...wow...

There are a lot of beautiful cars on here, but I would have to start with :
1: Dan Matoba's '92
2: Ron Ramirez
3: Zdaeng's
4: Kwnate's '91
5: Duane's '89
I also used to love the red supra with the painted flames on it's hood, but I'm pretty sure it got wrecked. He was on here about a year or two ago.
Now that I think about it, I might take Ron's as number one because of the built 2j. It's very very close. If only that was the hardest decision I had to make all day.

^^^ Originality and not wanna be :bigthumb:
Having said that I have been inspired by a few cars here, not to the point I'd mimic them in any way shape or form but more to the point it's made me lift my game and do better.
I came from a race background where "looks" were a very low priority and function was king but slowly I've spent some time of the asthetics side of the parts I make.
I'll NEVER be into blingy parts and pretty paint but there's no reason to make ugly parts.

Maybe mimic was the wrong word to use. I should have asked that if your car didn't exist any more, who's car would remind you of yours the most.....
BTW, I can see your point, your car is one of a kind.

I'd have to say Dan Matoba's '92, pure hotness. I remember when it was for sale, I think it sold for like $25k or more.
I'm going to go ahead and be one of the few who dont exactly have a car they are basing theirs off of..
Everything that I will be doing will be batshit custom and borderline ugly for the sake of function.
For instance, here's an idea that hasnt yet screamed "DONT DO IT" to me (thanks again to the owner of the car for tolerating the shoop):
Still just an idea to work with, but who knows; I may end up working with it. It'll be either this or stick with pre89, but I'd prefer more frontal air for the various heat exchangers that I'll be using. Also probably would be a bit more square or less aggressive to fit the car better.
Also, I'm trying to experiment with NACA ducts on the front, specifically the hood, again for maximum function, but I still have to figure out what would look nice--or rather, not look like total shit.

as soon as i saw jdm3_87t, i fell in love with the 2 tone (i know it wasn't on purpose, hes painting it lol)
so i bought my kit. the color on the other hand... at the time i didn't see any other royal blue supras
IJ is ALWAYS an insiration in his work.
He's downright anal about how things are, and I've gotten to that point as well when working on my car...

Yeah, but that's the way it's supposed to be. Don't half-ass anything and it will turn out great. Put forth the extra effort and you will be rewarded. Just my .02
