Project FnF Supra

Currently I wanted to detail the cheap looking engine bay and lower the car. So far I got the engine bay pretty much done, but I'm having issues lowering the car safely.


*edit* took out pics for those 56K users ;)

take off the springs from the axles and cut them
got any pics of the body?

I've cut apart the part holding the wheels and put extra plastic to lower the fronts

Finally finished...

I slightly lowered the front end and put in the intercooler.

Enjoy

Looks good, only the intercooler doesn't look like it's in straight. Could you give us a more detailed tutorial on how you managed to lower the car? If so that would be great

Thanks

Looks great.

Hell yeah if there's anything I really want to do to both of my FnF Supras, it's lowering them.

I will fix the crooked intercooler :p

As for lowering the front, cut off the pieces as shown above, except don't glue anything to them. Then shave the pieces extending from the fender (more = lower) and then glue the cut off pieces back and you're all set.

here's a diagram.

This is for lowering the front part only

after shaving the extending pole, glue the cut off piece back on and it will be lower.
