SupraJDS's Build Thread**New Pictures**

[SupraJDS]

Haven't updated this in awhile..

dragracer- Sorry for the delayed response dragracer but I totally agree it is a horrible fitting downpipe, I should have done more research on it before buying.. Oh well you live and learn.


My car is in hibernation with my winter wheels on. I already have my Work Miesters ready for a refinish but I need Supramania's help with deciding on the final colors. I want the rims to be unique and different from what you are used to seeing on mk3's.

Here are the options I am thinking about:

1) Black Cherry Face with ink black lips

2) Dark Gunmetal Face with flat black lips

3) Bronze face with chrome lips

Well my poll was a big fail :biglaugh:, the rims are already sitting at Bonehead Performances shop and should be powdered coated within a couple of weeks... the color is a secret until I get them back:sarcasm:

 

[SupraJDS]

Rims are back from Boneheadperformance and look stunning:love:

What do you guys think?

Mods can you delete my poll and for some reason I can not change my threads title back to " SupraJDS's Build Thread" pm if needed.

 

[empera]

damn they look good....cant wait to see this car again....

 

[Enraged]

those look sweet, now get them on the car!

 

[SupraJDS]

Emp- I can't wait for the next meet but pot holes/ the city do not like me so it depends on where the next meet is

Wheels will be installed after winter

 

[7mLove]

hahaha cant wait till my motor is done fuck rod knocks

 

[msimsi10]

Love the wheels!

 

[SupraJDS]

Thanks msimsi10 I wanted to do something different and it turned out looking great

 

[SupraJDS]

Haven't Updated this in awhile again..Here is my list of stuff to do:

Waiting for some EBC green stuff pads, new blank rotors, Goodridge brake lines, and ate fluid than installing my spacers whenever all of that stuff arrives

Also going to replace my valve cover gaskets and do a timing/water pump job sometime soon because I plan on road racing the car atleast once this summer so I want to make sure its in pretty good shape

Once this weather clears up a bit I'll be repainting my wiper blades, painting my moldings black, and also my calipers black

 

[sirgeorgee]

Do not use K-Sports ---many of my friends here had bad experience with them.....

Sorry now I went further and I see what you bought
Dont know this kind but as you mentioned they are looking good , and the handling is great-so far so good

I love your new wheels --they turned out very nice--CONGRATULATIONS

They will look great on your car for sure

Keep us posted

Well a change in plans for the better

Once I get my pay check on friday I will be ordering coilovers and spacers. Now the question is what brand of coilovers.

I only want to spend 1,000 on a coilover set up so it is either the Megan tracks, K-sports, or Tiens what do you guys think? The car is mostly a DD but will be tracked later on.

How about spacers? what will be the best sizing for my offsets?

 

[SupraJDS]

Yup they are stance coilovers and so far I'm very happy with them

Thanks the rims look great on the car just haven't had time to take new pictures

I love having distributors of supra parts in PA... Ordered this stuff yesterday and it came in today (Thanks again JSCspeed!):
Timing belt kit, water pump, and Goodridge brake lines

 

[SupraJDS]

Well I got the OEM blanks, EBC Green stuff pads, Goodridge Lines, and ate brake fluid in/on the car and its braking great!

Also removed the lame pin stripe yesterday.. the car looks much cleaner just needs a good buffing

On the list to do next:

Paint Moldings black/ Front bumper respray, remove all rust, buff
Roll fenders and install spacers
Put rear tires on the front, buy new rear tires, and alignment
Install timing belt kit
Water pump
Front main seal
Valve cover gaskets
New plugs and wires
and switch to toyota red coolant

Alittle after that:
Undercover
Auto tranny and Oil cooler
Finally race it

nice rims!

 

[Supra28]

Man, I wanna see pics with rims on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rims look hot.

 

[SupraJDS]

Thanks guys

I won't be taking any pictures till I am happy enough with what it looks like.... paint the moldings/install the spacers/Buff it

But Empera took a picture of it yesterday so maybe that will show up on supramania somewhere:naughty:

 

[SupraJDS]

Little bit of an Update

My buddy who paints is painting my moldings black this week and I also bought some stuff on here:

Mirrors and mud flaps will be getting a fresh coat of paint and test pipe will be installed next week

Also bought some used Kevin M Turn signal Covers which I think will match great with the molding and wheels

I am studying abroad for the month of June but once I get back there will be big updates so stay tuned!

 

[SupraJDS]

A nice goodbye shot.. be back in a month

 

[SupraJDS]

I've been back from Italy for a week and decided to take some new pictures and a video to show off the full 3inch
