Mo's 1991 Supra 500 rwhp Build-up (Long Overdue!)***New Pics on Pg.6&7***

[Mo87NA]

I will look for Retro-Spec. : ) Just a note.. I did carpet in a Celica that I found was easier to cut the carpet when I ended up with curves causing folds. Then I hand stitched using a thick nylon thread (I used to do upholstery many many years ago). You can heat mold it, but its tough. I just trimmed and sewed. Especially in areas that are covered by seat edge/console.. just to get it to lay perfectly flat. I also did a very expensive, but effective sealer under the carpet before I put it down using the sealant that they use on air conditioning units in buildings (cant remember the name, but it never hardens fully.. and locks moisture out.. ) You need to pre-do that kind of fun stuff.. cause it stinks if you dont air it out for about a week. (just my thoughts on carpeting)

Thank you for the tips. It sure was a difficult install. I would have done things differently if I had the chance. I still have to make some minor adjustments, but overall it came out well.

Another quick update:

I installed the Carbon Fiber B Pillars, as well as, the rear Hatch Visor. They came out well. Pictures to follow.

I also picked up a brand new AEM EMS and a nice set of 2JZ coils & wires compliments of WhiteMike (thanks again man). I've gone this far so I figured I'd continue the trend and spend some more money. I've been in contact with Seth and he will be making me a custom long runner FFIM next month. She seems to be coming together nicely.

I'll try and get some pictures up later this week.

Not much of an update, but I decided to put a sticker on my car. Yes, that's right, a sticker. Take a look and tell me what you think.

I've also decided to sell my port & polished intake manifold, ported throttle body and IC piping set-up. If you're interested, let me know.

Was that english? If you want a proper response, put together a coherent sentence and I'd be glad to answer.

Whatchu tahkin bout?

Exactly. I don't really think it's over-the-top. I have a rare CF hood, so headlight covers are a must. My door sills, B-pillars, hood cowl were shit, so why not? Not to mention, the CF combined with the exterior color looks great in person.

To each their own my friend.

Another quick update...

I picked up some more goodies. They should be here in a few weeks. Time to get serious and finish this car.

Stay posted....

 

[Mo87NA]

As promised, here are a few pictures of my recent purchases. Tein Felx Coilovers, Full set of Katzkin Seat Covers (Combo-style, dark-graphite wrap, light gray insert, contrast light gray double-stiching, 3rd gen Supra logo on the headrest)....

 

[Master_Spazez]

Those covers look pretty flash.. Can't wait to see them in the car!

 

[Mo87NA]

Thanks man. The pictures do not do them justice. I can't find my camera so I had to use my cell phone.

I think the color combination coupled with the shadow gray interior, and new carpet is going to look pretty sharp. I was going to do the install myself, but I think I'm going to have the professionally installed.

They should be done in a few weeks.

Can't see the pics right now, but I'll check back later. I'm sure it's sweet! I often times think that I never should have bought the M3, because with the amount of work I've put into it, I could have the Supra done. Fail.

Your face is pretty. :hug:

 

[2jmk3]

Im really diggin the cf pillars. Where did you get them if you dont mind me asking?

 

[Mo87NA]

I actually got them from a vendor on this forum. I believe they are from Retro-Spec.

Thanks,
