My Supra

This is originally the Tamiya Sard Supra. I want to make it more of a factory show off car, like the option, top secret, do luck, jun something like that. They aren't really raced, more for show but still dayum fast!:iceslolan

I plan smoothing the body a bit by removing some rivets, and filling some race specific vents, etc. I may or may not change the rest of the body work.

The interior will be converted to a two seater, and maybe made a little more stock looking (dont know yet). The suspension will stay the same as well as undercarriage, except for where the exhaust will have to be modified to allow two seats. As you can see I am going to try and imitate actual parts such as tanabe suspension.

O and i plan on ordering some 19" Volk CE28 rims.

those are all box stock parts in the pics!

coming along nicely what colorare you gonna paint it

Looks good so far, can't wait to see what color this will be.

Danm thats nice! The suspension come like that? I was going to buy it, but i want to see if it was cheaper on ebay.

those are the stock shocks just painted to my liking, and for color, i really have no idea at this point, something wild, thinking 2 tone maybe any ideas??

i think you should paint it kameleon purple to green

Nice project but they actually race those "show" cars in Japan! Check out Option magazine for more info; The Japanese are more for performance first, looks second. :)

looks very cool can't wait to see more!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rofl:

I like it so far...

yup riceless :iceslolan:iceslolan:iceslolan:iceslolan

What i meant by my question is..did it come without the brakes on it?
I would do the color blue and white...or purple. that looks like the ab-flug body kit

well i still have a lot to learn, i figured they made them to say "look what i can do" now don't you want my parts?

i didn't really realize they raced cars like that, i mean i know they were driven and were definetly high performance cars, but didn't realize they were raced.

anyway, yes the shocks came separate from the brakes

thanks again everyone!! :biggrin:

Ab Flug has a shit load of kits for the Supra, that is just one. i can see the simalarities.

i won't build it exactly like this, but it will influence my own design of body kit.

build it then....:iceslolan

only did some body work on it this weekend, y'know like 6 hrs of bodywork, :rolleyes:, anyway, i really like how its looking what do you guys think? i still have to do the passenger side, and the back, and front bumpers. so far so good

so.... no one has any comments??

Yo! that's a HUGE bodykit! :D I like it..eheh Keep it up.

the body looks awesome... keep it up

Cool! :iceslolan All the supras are cool, i hope mine POS will be too :loser:

Whoa, that's a killer body kit. It's going to look very mean.

You might want to add some more to the rear fender flares. The front's seem to be wider than the rears, though that may just be in the angle of the pics.

It does look that way, but i included this pic and you can see they are actually just about equal, the wideness of the body with the fender is actually no wider than the sard supra flares either, because i shaved off the edges then added styrene to the front, and for the rear i just puttied around them.

You see the red ghost line? Im probably gonna add some more so it goes out a little farther like that also. Is this a good idea or no?

That kit is looking sweet....great work

Yes, I think it's good idea. This will make the front and rear flares look more even with nice sharp edges, as opposed to the tapered look the rear has current (pre-red line)

wow, im loving what your doing, and i should

wow, im loving what your doing, and i should
