Rodel, what did you do for fog/driving lights. I went to reattach mine (using the Shine auto bumper MA70-FB-G, which I believe is same (or similar) as yours) and the 88 MKIII Driving/fog lights bracket is not going to work any longer. Definitely going to have to go after market for those..

(I may have asked you this once before... )

I had aftermarket foglights. Its essential to make a custom bracket. Do a search for a grey supra owned by supra70. He has a greddy bumper with pre89 lights

With the additional power that the car will make, I needed wheels and tires that will plant the car to the ground. I picked up Enkei NT03+M wheels in 18x10.5 +30. 285 35 will be at the rear. 255 35 will be up front.

I really like these wheels because they are light weight and have a lot of details like the dual valve stems, "perimeter brace ring" and a little bit of concavity on the spokes.

(I read that dual valve stems help in exchanging regular air for nitrogen. One stem is used to let out the regular air while nitrogen is put in the other stem. Not sure if I would actually every do this. The dual valve stems are a cool conversation piece though. LOL.)

For the interim, I will roll silver, but I will have them powder coated blue.

Thanks! I was worried that the tires on the HRE 545 will get old and hard from lack of use. You could roll on the HRE 545 while I'm not using them.

S2 airguide work in progress: molding the airguide and bumper together.

10.5 +30. I'd like to see that fitment. I really want to put a 18x10.5 or 11 with 315s on the rear of mine.

295 is the "ideal" tire width for 10.5 and 305 for 11. 315 would work on the 11 and still look somewhat square, but will bulge on a 10.5. If you want to run 11" with 315, your fender will have to be pulled aggressively or your wheel will need a very high offset.

 

[K_SHAN]

hmm.. I'm talking with ccw right now so I'm trying to find a offset that would work. 18x11 would have to be it. I guess I'd need to be more in the +38 range. I'd like to not do a crazy pull or have much camber.

Well, I must say that your car is SICK!!! You give me a reason to keep my dream of my dream Supra alive. Thank you.

P.S. I know that sounded a bit sappy.

I love this car

 

[Grandavi]

Rodel's car is the only reason I would ever sell mine... lol. Then I would show up at the door with cash in hand and park it at my cousins house until I could cross border it : )

 

[rodel]

Thank you for the show of your appreciation, gentlemen! Let's all keep the Supra dream alive!

I'm waiting for you. Let's talk when you're ready.

ended up with some Te37s +22 9.5 (245/30/19) fronts with +22 10.5 (305/25/19) rears.. check out my build thread. I had test fitted them.. then just went for it haha

You should powder coat those wheels like that dark blue that the wheels you had on long time ago when your car was at shine for the aero. That color was sick with the black.

 

[xTurboLag]

What kind of kind of rims are those?

 

[ryansmith]

noob question, what is the name of the carbon fibre panel at the front end of your engine bay? and where can I buy one?
Really makes the engine bay look a lot tidier

That's the plan.

Intercooler block-off plate by Carbon Fibre FX. The company doesn't exist anymore. You could buy a LIPP brand.
