well, you asked for it, so....

... i think his looks better, only because it looks like an invisible 500lb fat man is sitting on your front end.... your car is way to low, it has an mkiv font sticker on the windshield, no wing, no grill, no fogs, no turbo, huge wipers, and sleepy eyes.


edit: dammit, Ideal. i wanted to be first!

ok the wheel is like that because the camber kit is not in right now and because it was hit. The wing we have it but its not on yet. The Mk4 script was put on by the other owner now the guy that drives the other supra.

what ideal said, way too low i dont see how you can get out of the driveway without bottoming out. the downside of that other one on the right would have to be the faded gray quarter panel, and yea the sleepy eyes look like you broke your selonoids, and mini drag chutes.

Ok thanks for all your feed back! Now i got a new question. when he sold me the car and to this day he says he RIPPED me off bad on that car. This is what is wrong with it.Rods and bearings and a oil pump. i got the car for $400 the inside is nice very clean. no rust. no big dents over all the body and the inside is good. so do you think he ripped me off??

depends on how bad the "rods" are.... you might have to trash the engine and get another one or you could rebuild...your options to do it RIGHT...which is subjective.... allow anywhere from 700-2k bucks.... but after its fixed and whatnot the car looks like it could be decent enough to be good NA for 2400 bucks....

and i know youre defending yourself and your car...just remember you ASKED which looks better in THOSE pics...not which will look better when you get done with stuff 3 months from now ;)

EDIT:WAIT! werent you the one who had the camaro lip on the car? if so and now its gone i THANK you...looks a billion times better!

who is your friend? hes gonna build it for free is basically what you are telling me.... cause its easily 800 for machine work and parts to rebuild an engine....

i just dont want to see you get it done and have it break again in a week or two or whatever....

I agree with most of what everyone else said about the car, and want to ask a question, what kind of camber kit do you plan on getting for your Supra? I can't even think of a single one off the top of my head, except for that one that gives you like -5.0 degrees.

Jeff asked my question. What camber kit? LOL (This is not a strut to knuckle suspension design, but does use struts... )

You can move the strut around all you want, and not change camber one degree.

Camber on the Supra is set by cams on the lower control arms. (Also caster.) I don't think the upper arms have any adjustablility from the factory.

On your supra, with the cut out grille, lack of fog lamps, and totally ricer sleepy eye look?
1) Quality work speaks for itself. If you do a nice job removing the grille, it can look good. (Otherwise, it looks like crap.)
2) Fogs need to go back in. There are no brake ducts needed on the Supra, unless your the first one I've seen to actually do it right.
3) Sleepy eye's are totally wasted effort in my opinion. Not functional, not aerodynamic, and just look stupid IMHO.

Fix your front suspension problem, and get that car off the ground and up where the car will handle better. (Yes, lowered cars don't handle as well as ones with correct suspensions... Unless you have modified the lower ball joint height, and maintained the correct geometry.) My car is lowered, and while it does corner well, it did not corner bad before the suspension mods. I think the best suspension mod is sway bars, and minimal height loss springs. The lower you go, the more suspension travel you lose, and the worse your Supra is going to handle on the street, or at the track IMHO.

Good luck on the rebuild. Get a turbo and enjoy the power. :)

Sorry dude, but I agree %1000 with everything Ideal just said!

But as far as being ripped off, how can you be ripped off $400 for a Supra, hell it could have come with no engine and easily been worth $400.

Also, I think you need a new friend, friends don't try to rip each other off!
