***The Red Supras Thread***

[suprajim54]

I agree, your picture pushed me to do the foglight mod on my car this past weekend.

 

[Silver MK3]

Yes, the foglight re-wire was the very first thing that was done to the Supra! It's a very small detail but I think it looks great!

It really does. I still haven't done mine yet though... I don't drive the supra as much in the winter either though.

Here's my 50 shades of red 89 turbo


New engine


Picked up some tt wheels. Need to find some rear tires before they go on.

Here are the pics before and after the addition of Fortune Auto 500 coilovers and machined sawblades.

Old Radar your sawblades are reason why them prices keep climbing on them

 

[Old Radar]

Quite a difference! Especially with the vents and lug holes blacked out.

 

[mk3forme]

Are those polished? Did you do them yourself? They look amazing! Makes me want sawblades again???

 

[Old Radar]

They were done by Wheels America for $400. They powder coated them black, machined the smooth surfaces and then powder coated them again in clear. I really like the way they turned out.

They did a nice job on those sawblades!

 

[mk3forme]

And what about the center cap. How did they get the shine to match since its plastic?

 

[Old Radar]

Thanks ERA! Mk3forme--these particular caps are "capped" themselves with a thin layer of aluminum. I was able to strip the paint off them and shoot them with clear coat. You can read the details in my Intro post: http://www.supramania.com/forums/sh...-with-a-great-old-ride-but-you-knew-that-part!

Your car looks fantastic. I switched to 91 rims on my 89 but I kept my sawblades. I hope to get them looking like yours one day.

 

[Old Radar]

Thanks! I wish my paint was holding up as well as yours. Has it been repainted? Even though mine has always been garaged, after 26 years it is mighty thin in spots. Paint job is my next big investment. Staying with Red, of course!

 

[Redbeast89]

I repainted it seven years ago.

ESM Wheels! These are their 002r models.
