I have an air intake, HKS metal head gasket, HKS fuel cut defenser etc... also eibachs springs with 18x8.5& 18x10 Fittipaldi wheels.w/ 235/40/18 & 275/35/18. its got a full old school sound system , upgraded downpipe with gutted high flow main cat into a 3in HKS ti exaust

The turbo Supra looks really sweet and classy. I especially love the clean feel of the interior. To be honest, it's a rarity to see in a 15-yr old vehicle! And there's definitely something signifying about driving a vehicle you truly love every day and forever

Thanks Lexusk8, my supra and I are attached in the hip.Its been so many years but yet I look forward to getting into it everyday to drive. Its funny after all these years I still get complimets from people in traffic. I especially luv the feeling of knowing I have the hp when I need it and especially being planted into your seat at high boost.
Thanks
Thanks
guys let me be the first to tell you , the pics do it no justice , the car is as clean as it was the day it came out the showroom..
hp when needed is a understatement, when he hits between 2to 3 to 4 and the turbo is boosting 14lbs or better it snaps your head back and pushes you in the seat.. heck he can barely keep traction and hes running a 18x10 rear with i think 265's
the car has made me begin my search for a clean one to boost the hell out of and pak the gs for meets and nice days
the car is borderline concurs (i hope i spelled that right) its pristine

alsilverbullet,
Your ride is so clean and I love your upgrades. That's a nice turbo on there and your rear wheels are as large as the ones on my SC! Are you on the supraforums? If so, what handle do you use?
PS, you might want to blur out your license plate number.

nice car Al, I feel in love with the Supra when I was 8yrs old!!! My uncle was the first in Bklyn to have a 86.5 burgundy/burgundy leather! I remember seeing that dashboard for the first time, I thought it was like a spaceship!! LOL
That was the first Toyota I have ever lusted after and still like to see a clean one modded, especially with the 89 updated nose/tail. I also love the Fittipaldi Tubolares you have, I wanted those for my Accord soooo bad!
Nice work man, keep her clean!!

I don't have Photoshop at work so I had to bust out the dreaded MS Paint. I also removed your house #.

Thats EXACTLY what I thought when I first saw an older supras interior. I was stuck with a group of friends going to a honda meet... I was used to the loud, obnoxious, unstable cars all day, then later that night we took out one of the gusy 87 Supra... the dash looked so awesome, retro 80s futura style... and he even commented that when we got on the highway and taking crosswinds and rian, that he's so used to the hondas being buffeted and pushed around, but this "nice heavy toyota" is so stable and planted!
