MkIII Poopra build on a highschooler budget??

[jdmmk3]

Whats up Sm..Well now that ive got my daily driver camry running right now i can spend a tad bit of cash to start with the supra. Plans are to build a reliable cruiser, not looking for insane amount of power or anything, just something reliable with a little extra umph. Going to the 2jzge-t route and gunna run off 7m electronics. To help me fund some of it im going to part out 2 7mgtes that i have lying around so if you guys need parts be sure to look in the fs section very soon!!... Well heres the car when i first got it about a month ago.

and i just purchased some starion rims for her yesterday, had time to put them on before i went to work and they do look mean. Plan on pulling the fenders and throwing some 195/45 on them because they are gunna need new tires but i just wanted to see how they would look and me likey alot haha :naughty:

car looks good , love the rims. Btw what did you lower the car on?

 

[jdmmk3]

thanks always good to hear that. car is lowered on stance coilovers, want to drop the rear just a little bit once i get the fenders pulled and the new set of tires

at least you dont have to pay for books, try a college budget lol
be careful of pulling the front
there are tabs where the fender liner was bolted.
So you will need to cut those tabs in order to get a smooth pull or else it will come out wavy due to the different thickness of metal.

haha i just turned 16 and worked at subway for 2 months so far and barely getting any hours is prob the same misery as for paying for the books in college. but its the perfect time for me to build a car, the only responsibility I have is to do good in school, make sure i have gas and insurance money and stay healthy. Still got another 2 years of highschool to build this thing up!!. and appreciate the heads up for the fenders

Car looks good man. Are those old school supra rims?

 

[kamikazemkiii]

Starions

 

[enjoi.this]

They look pretty similar to the old supras. Although that offset and size is much different loll. Looks like a little rubbage may be happening

 

[jdmmk3]

yea the rims are pretty sick, i got a good deal that i couldnt resist. After seeing these rims on a 240 i have always wanted to try them on a supra. these rims are 16x8 -10 in the rear and 16x7 +18. i wish i coulda found the shp rims that are 16x9 in the rear and 16x8 in the front but i cant complain on these rims

Nice, basically in the same situation as I am.

Need more money before I can grab me a set of Stance's. By the way, that's going to be a pretty nasty pull in the rear, you sure there's no other wheels you like to fit under there? Once you pull'em, it's gonna be a hell of job if you ever want to look stock again.

Good luck, and nice car.

the only other wheels id like under them are some watanabe rs. Either that im good with the starions. I like my car to have an aggressive wheel fitment because it really makes the car. Unless my plans change the exterior should stay as is. the supra has a nice look already, all mine really needed was some aggressive wheels and thats it. Now its time for me to save up for the engine

Just got another goodie for my car. Custom plexiglass box designed for 12hz. The bass will hit low as hell. Back in the day my father was into car audio and still is. he has about 4 of these type of plexiglass boxes but they dont fit in the supra. This one is from my uncle and fits perfect. Im Going to send the speakers out to be repaired due to the fact that the box is designed for these subs or if i can find some gti1000s it will replace them. the subs are 600rms but can handle 1000 all day.

you need one of these ( NO, this one is not for sale )

 

[jdmmk3]

guess u answered my question haha, im gunna need a amp to run these. i like the old school rockfords, even i have some amps like a a600.2 ppi art series lying around that i love because it puts out clean power but its not stable at 1 ohm and i want to run the subs to there capabilities so i am going to run a bd1500 and modd it like many others have to put out clean and reliable power. it should sound better than my camry once i am done

 

[jdmmk3]

Well i seen a bmw with angel eyes and i loved they way they look..soo i picked up these

Gunna start these retrofits tommorow since its raining over here in ct and i have work in 20min. if they look good Im looking into making these for my brother and my father since they seem to like the idea as well. ill make sure to post plenty of pictures
