only a shit 1 haha. still need to cover holes with some black mesh so u cant see straight through them
Amazing transformation, its refreshing to see performance in all aspects takes priority in this build
its still regod and up until now - have just been trailering it places.
need to get some additions to my cage soon and the shop isnt to far away from me so i thought rather then hiring a trailer again. id finish off the painting and make the car look neat and roadworthy looking in apearance. after discussing that with my old man, we were cutting the rear bumper up with the tool of choice (angle grinder).
stood back and thought fuck yeah, actually looked pretty neat (imo) then though back 5 min ago when i said i wanted it to look discrete on the road. there went that idea pretty fast hahah
dont think i ever had much luck blending in with the two tone paint scheme and side pip but

well took the supra out to a drift night.
the mighty 7m didn tmiss a beat, performd flawlessly limitier bashing 3rs pretty much around the entire track.
mate came along but for some reason decided to leave his slr camera in the car so unless i come across any from other people, unfortunately no pics or vids
also slapped the supra on another set of scales and the car weighed in at 1245 KG
weight distribution 700 kg front, 550 kg rear so 56/44. might be slightly better with front seat removed
that was with full tank and stock pasenger seat (so an extra 20kg on board)
(i put the extra 40 kg from drag night down to 6 point roll cage, aluminium door trims, and heavier wheels)
AGLOBALTHREAT - u need to start weighing more supra parts cause u mustn't have a clue
anyway - fingers crossed some pics surface on the net

Looks great nonetheless. You can understand what the finished product is going to look like! Great job! :aigo:
I likey. You aren't worried about no crash support bars though? I've often weighted the risks even for an all track car.

originally it was designed for a mega budget drag car in which safety wouldnt really be of concern. not its becomming more of a dedicated track car for drift/circuit, in hindsightm i prob would have keept them, at least the added protection of the car/motor.
im predicting a full welded in cage later down the track, so the safety of me should be fine then
Thanks for the video's! Very cool car,:boink::bigthumb: and light as hell, 240ish light!:icon_razz
