That one is straight hidious. Just get what you need and burn the rest. I like the simple white, red, black supra, no ridiculous ugly body kit, and no big ol' aftermarket wing. Just a simple drop, nice whels, and alot of boost! JMO.

Good luck on the build. Keep us posted. With alot of pictures of course.

1 reason why most people love Supras, It's because they fell in love with 'em after watching the Fast and the Furious for the 1st time LOL!

Supras became ridiculously overpriced because of that movie IMO.

ive heard quite a few people say this same thing-------another thing is i checked the specs of the supra and they arent that special really-----the 2jz ge has only 220 hp and the twin turbo model has only 276 hp---i mean whats all the hype about

i expected to hear like 400hp or more from the way people speak of them.

so there sort of quick???

It was advertised as having only 276 in japan but made more power. USDM Supra TTs made 320hp and is capable of making l000+hp . Same thing with the R34 GT-R, rated @ 276 but really made 330hp

Don't forget to swap the full TT brake system over as well! Waitaminute... Doesn't look like TT Supra brake calipers..(?!)



Should look like this:


I think they switched for Supra NA brakes, or SC brakes...
