I am the only supra that I have seen with a 5zigen muffler, and will be running a holset hx-35w (IIRC the only 1jz MKIII with one).
Post what makes your Supra unique, i.e. Custom Parts / Fabrication / Rare Pieces?
- Thread starter BorHor
- Start date
Dents... has even more now :cry:
Rear center piece matches, but tails are NOT JDM (I did this, and can tell others how to)
I will have a LOT more as soon as I start my budget and get money saved up...
OK OK... the real rare stuff... My wheels (that I've NEVER seen another set of), ad my windshield wipers are Bosch Icons (not cheap).

My Supra doesn't have much...
But I do have a gauge cluster cobbled together to be the "perfect" cluster for my car. It's a 1990 cluster, with 1989 Turbo tach, and a 1989 Voltmeter in place of the boost gauge. So I have a 6,500 RPM redline, no inaccurate boost gauge, airbag light, all so it matches my car. :icon_bigg
I also have a custom exhaust, that looks like ass, hangs low, and sounds pretty badass...

Exterior Color = Teal
Interior = Black Leather
Sunroof

Oh ...................oh oh .....
And it has TTR Floor mats - needs to be put in
Rainguards - Needs to be put on
Rear Hatch visor - Needs to be put on
1.5JZ engine swap running off of Aristo Harness and ECU (super hybrid)
Quite Rare and sexy Brenze wheels
GA70 9000 RPM Tach

Actually Curtis started that "Unique thread" on SF because of my thread from 4 YEARS ago in the MK3 Section.
there is a difference between unique and ghetto!!!!!!! on this page alone i see only a handful of uniqueness. and having something at least 10 other guys have here on the forum is NOT UNIQUE!!!!
I'll play the "asshole" in this thread and rip some assholes while doing it and offend even friends...
BorHor- ur borderline unique. u have great wheel fitment but the wheels are not special. very few if any rock and agressive setup like urs so ill give u that.
alloyguitar- intresting. need some pictures to make ur point valid.
88YotaTurbo- yes. good job.
iwantmkiii- GTFO
tsuper92- intresting. borderline unique, also borderline "why"?
CyFi6- are u serious?
RazoE- Wheels. need pictures to make ur point.
Quin- No
ms07s- Are u being serious?
87soup- "Home Depot called..."
Loki- Nope
MKIIINA- yes for Ron R. FFIM. though lets be honest. i heard he made more than one.
88supraFAST1- if true, VERY UNIQUE! some pictures proving it works and ur car runs will solidify my thumbs up!
foreverpsycotic- 5Zigen FUCK NO! Holset X234456@^%@#%... i have no idea what that is please enlighten us. And once again PICS!!!!!!
Poodles- No. And as for the wheels... the GEO Metro in the background has the same ones! :biglaugh:
emiliorescigno- not sure about that one. nothing special or very aftermarket abotu it, so nothing too unique. not to mention ITS NOT EVEN WORKING YET!!!
suprastanger507mgte- engine setup and year+color = Unique. though i know of two here in socal with same year and color. so color and year uniquness award has now been stripped. though u keep the engine setup credit.
CRE- Sure. good job.
lilazni3uoy- pictures of the actual headlight itself would prove ur point better. since i have seen them in person u get the credit u deserve!
Me- Danstoy Exhuast Manifold with WG on top
Original Stout Carbon Fiber Hood (1 of 3 in states)
Custom Low/High Hella 90mm Headlights (DOT Legal) w/custom fiberglass housings
Custom Widened fenders
check this link. some much more impressive unique and SERIOUS things posted WITH PICS!!!! unfortunatly the thread is old and ALOT of pics dont work or show up anymore to prove the points made. my first post in the thread changed as time went on.

my plan was to mount the battery(full size) in the hatch,but couldn't find a good spot.the targa wouldn't fit well with the battery box back there.i had allready routed the ic pipe there trying to make room for a nice radiator.i ordered the battery not even knowing if it would fit,so i'm kinda happy with how it turned out.so far nobody has noticed it when they look under the hood.this pic you can see the ic pipe.i tried to make a nice lazy bend ,but the tb sit's to far foward.
my arc titanium strut bar is pretty rare,as i've only seen one other.t-bolt clamp's on my radiator too
Every time I see Nicks engine bay....
Voltgas interior rocks.
My car has only a couple of things NA to 2jz auto, custom mats front and rear, 2tone katzkins. I'm pretty sure I'm the only red mk3 with these upgrades that still looks and sounds like a stock mk3.
This is when I first got the car.
exhaust is custom electric cutout with a polished stock looking muffler

Gracias Amigo. I do believe the Hays house also has two beautiful supras:love:
I don't really have anything "too" unique...but certainly a bit different.
I "rhinolined" the back of my hatch floor in some early stages in it's life.
The previous owner hadn't taken care of a leak in the back, therefore creating a bit of surface rust.
I'm extremely anal when it comes to rust...so I got rid of it, and made sure it'd never come back. That...and strengthed up the rear a bit for when I need to haul anything around in the back.
And for those thinking, No, it hardly added any weight.
Not so unique...But uncommon.
SUPER MONITOR! :biglaugh:
Again, not so much unique...but you don't see honeycomb style wheels as often as you typical 5 spoke designs.

nic you just gotta piss in everyone's cornflakes don't you? :lol: but yea I agree with you about some "rare" mods (heck i didnt even bother putting up my "3.0 turbo" badge, front euro turns etc etc)
my ron r is a 1 off custom actually, it drops the alt down and still keeps A/C! ask ron about "Satan's" ffim and if he would be willing to ever make one like this again
your stout hood is the sexy though... will admit that!

I don't know. Maybe it's just me, but when I think of unique parts I think of something that's NOT bolt-on. Something that's either been made by you or specifically for you.
Hoods and 3.0 turbo badges are neither.
Not to say that those aren't good additions to a car, but I don't really think they qualify as "unique."
Just my 2¢.

Totally custom one off manifolds:
Modified stock manifold:
Custom Catch can and PS resevior:
Alternator Bracket:
Radiator reclined with IC pipes over top(gold heat shield on the bottom) Megasquirt stand alone with totally custom harness. Starts and idles but never got to tune it before it went to storage
Thats about it for custom/rare!
Thanks,
Seth

Where did you get the piece with the radiator cap next to the cam gear cover?
That's something I'd like to have.
