Notorious M.K.3.

[rodel]

this is the car that inspired mine.

very nice work sir!

Thanks! Everyone needs a source of inspiration, just like Sofro was my source. Your big singled 2J looks like it's coming along well.

What are the black wheels, I have a bit of a love for black wheels too, its probably why much to most peoples dismay I like the factory JZA70 R 5 spokes just as much as the Work Wheels on mine.

Have you got any more pics of that Kaminari 3 piece wing, I have been considering getting mine custom extended just a little bit, a friend made his alot taller and thats not my style but just a little an deleting the centre post cold work, and yours seems to not be too over the top

BTW, have you decided have you are doing with your speakers?

The black wheels on my car are Volk Racing GT-S. Below are more pics of the Kaminari 3 piece spoiler.

The suspension is cambering, but I don't know the degree. My car never gets an alignment since I adjust the ride height frequently and I don't daily drive it.

My fenders are flared about 1". The Volk Racing GT-S specs:
front 19x9.5+3, then I added 15mm spacers
rear: 19x10.5+18, then I added 10mm spacers.

Thanks for those pics

That rear wing in pics looks very factory not a tacked on afterthought at all

That wing is hot! I didn't even realise it was aftermarket either!

Everyone has their tastes. This is one fine fine ride Rodel. While I don't share the same tastes I do appreciate all the love you put into your ride.

The Supra hobby took a hiatus from around around 2003 to 2008. I was busy putting this together:

In 2008, after 5 years, I returned to the Supra. Neglected, it looked like this:

The Supra needed a lot of attention and TLC. To start the rehab process, I needed to make sure the car ran properly. Tuning began with the VPC and S-AFC. At 14 lbs of boost, the Supra was able to put down 365 rwhp and 373 lbft torque

Tuning became cumbersome with the VPC and S-AFC. In 2009, the Supra went stand alone.

Beautiful cars Rodel, what turbo/fuel setup were you running w/the 7m at the time of the dyno? Just out of curiosity..

In October 2009, the Supra was sent to Makito of Seven Apple for a complete paint job. I was trying to get it done by SILV. I decided not to go, so I asked him to take his time.

Painted and cleared. No wet sanding and polish:

Tinted the tail lights

Tinted vs. stock USDM

The body kit made the 18x9.5 HRE 545 look small :thumbdown

The flared fender made the 18x9.5+36 HRE 545 look sunk in :cry:

Since the HREs 545 wheels look too small and sunk in...the SSR MS1 is the wheel of choice

Hmmm...the 19x9.5+24 SSR MS1 is sunk in as well. :eek3: :1zhelp:

Me and Ken of Shineautoproject trying an add-on fitment

Been following your car for a while now on other forums and what not
Looks very good, i remember when i first bought mine i saw yours and so began my current project.
Hope to see/hear some more from it soon and keep up the good work

Paint was finished in January 2009. April 2009, the Supra makes it to its first meet ever, at Socal's Annual Irvine BBQ.


Of all the pictures in this post, I enjoy this shot the most...the Supra looks like it has a chopped top.

May 2009: On the way to the 14th Annual Toyotafest in Long Beach, CA with friends

Taking up space on the 710 Long Beach Freeway

Added the Shineautoproject Varis Style Rear Diffuser

Increased the slam status from the previous meet, the 2009 annual Irvine meet, and changed paced with Volk Racing GT-S wheels

what was involved with the flaring of your front fenders Rodel? I'm assuming cut>roll>pump>bondo>paint?
