Project Cherry Widebody, finished! (New pics on post #451 and #511)

Say, Didn't you hear? Rumor has it he spent all of his lifetime funds to create such a beautiful visual appearance, that he forgot to invest in a motor. ...........:biglaugh:Jeff

Yeah, it's just a rolling chassis that I push around. :biglaugh: I will paint the engine bay some other time, perhaps if I pull the motor sometime down the road. It is still white and not worth showing off just yet. It does however put down 393rwhp at 17psi on the street:evil2: I'd like to do a burnout or parking lot drift video but I'm not sure how easy it will be to spin these huge meats.

I'm really glad you guys like the car. I built it for myself to fulfill a dream, but the extra appreciation from you guys makes the investment that much more worthwhile.

Touche. LOL :biglaugh:

393 @ 17psi...What are you, on a healthy tuned upgraded CT or barely sneezing a big turbo's capabilities?

Sorry if I missed that. I think everyone's been so focused on your body,
your engine was sort of forgotten.

Also, you look like you've got some fat ones out back. What, 315mm?

It's a low-mile JDM 7MGTE with a garrett 57-trim CT, lex, 550's, SAFC, etc. running 94 octane. The rear tires are 295's, but with these 3-piece wheels, I could get a larger rear inside lip to fit a fatter tire. Might fit a 315 or 335!

Fulfilling your dream opens up new ones for the rest of us! I would like to do that to mine after the engine is done. Great job, as I said before I think your
effort on this project sets a high standard for everyone, yours is the best
looking SUPRA I have ever seen.

We need to go cruising now Brad! :icon_bigg

Wow!!!! it came out really really good Tekdeus. I would love to see some pictures when it's dark enough to see you leds really well.
Thanks for all your help before. Keep it up.

 

[SuperNova]

WOW. This is such a nice MK3. Almost makes the word BEST seem like an understatement. :aigo:

 

[tekdeus]

Yes! I forgot that we were talking about shooting some rad video footage of our cars tearing up the streets.

 

[Chambers]

You got yourself a real nice car!!

I would be careful burning rubber off onto that new paint, when ever I have excess smoke from my tires I get some hot rubber on the paint behind the tire. It would suck to have that nice paint be ate up by some silly burnouts.

Good luck.

 

[supraman7mgte]

i'll take 2

 

[jonny87turbo]

Wow your supra looks awsome, good job.

 

[thebadz32]

not to many wide bodys i like but that one is bad

 

[Yblegal91t]

absolutely the greatest looking supra anywhere in the world. You really can't compare to how pristine it looks. I would just sit here and compliment your car forever and also look at it non-stop. Awesome job you guys did on completing this car.

[fonz87]

Anyone engine bay shots ?

 

[kunfusion]

If you notice any abnormal sounds the next time you drive it somewhere, thats just me humping your car... I promise to call it in the morning too... In all seriousness, thats beautiful. Very good job.

 

[tekdeus]

It's official, the car will be at Vegas! Hope you guys can make it to SILV 08

A short video: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=80189

We will get some better footage later with a proper camcorder!

Anyone engine bay shots ?

Engine bay was not painted, and is still white. Not worth showing just yet!

 

[Notorious Ty]

That is definately a beautiful machine. Great Job!!!!

Nice car you have thee I just wanted to know what brand and model are those rims

Mouldings are repainted and now installed, along with front grills and LED clear sidemarkers. These pics were taken today during a local meet at the BIC shop. Randy has got some much better photos he will upload soon as well. It's generating some intrigue on the streets. In slow traffic people are rolling down their windows and asking me "what is it?". I'm also noticing more tailgaters, possibly wanting a closer look or to find a badge revealing it's make.

Local guys at the BIC meet today:

LED tails turn up orange with my camera. They are actually intense red.
