Re: Supra Drag Car

keep the green wheels and paint them chrome because the style of them flows with the car

Re: Supra Drag Car

You got a good point there, I think I might just do that, and I even have them on Goodyear tires, so I can paint the words on the tires white, to have it flow a bit more. Thanks.

Re: Supra Drag Car

both i quess with one off it looks alot better then both off. But if he could have found a different ways to cool the engine other than with one light off that would have looked the best. But good job the bandito.

Re: Supra Drag Car

I have the one headlamp out because it blocked a path to the turbos, that's why I have the air guides there, there's a photo of the turbos behind the headlamp.

Re: Supra Drag Car

drag supras or other big turbo supras usually take off the left headlight to allow more airflow to the turbo/turbos because that's where they're located. I'm guessing this is to allow better air intake or maybe to cool the turbo?
