[monsween]

Hi,

I'm Kieran from up in sunny Aberdeen. I've had the car more than 4 years now and have went from a standard car to what it is now. I thought I'd chuck it up here and let you see what i've been up to. I do have the usual mountain of progress and build pictures but i've just jumped straight to the end lol

I also run with my mate Marc a wee car club up here called TeamBeard. Its all a bit of a giggle really

Some sticky tires for the strip

Very nice

OP, that looks the business!

Not usually a fan of Supras as they tend to look a bit "Fast and Furious" for my liking - orange, green with massive bodykits. But yours looks amazing - loving the colour and the subtle mods...plus the wheels - heavenly

What sort of times do you get down the strip?

Enjoy it!

[Another Fluffer]

Holy crap, aesthetically amazing!

BPU Supras make an awesome noise too, any videos of the beast in action?

[Japveesix]

Car looks great, possibly my favourite colour for a Supra. Very nicely modded, subtle but worthwhile

What times have you run at the strip?

And do you have a real bear?

[Mastodon2]

fk me, that's the nicest Supra I've ever seen. I love the rear diffuser assembly with the cannon exhaust sticking out of the back, looks like a proper Japanese racer. What kind of exhaust is that, out of interest?

[monsween]

I've only been once and managed a 13.3. I'm looking to improve that next year and get some 12s

Couple of videos from SantaPod

And yes I have a real beard

[ultraheed]

Must demand that this is sold to me right now! Pretty much the car i want (needs more power though )

[deuchars]

Stunning Supra , shall have to keep my eye out for it.

[rallycross]

They are surprisingly good to drive these cars, had a standard twin turbo.

You might want to think about putting some roll cage padding on that bare cage if you have a bump and crack your head off that cage it wont be good news. Just a thought.

I actually asked if you "have a real bear" But thanks for clearing up the beard thing anyway


Any future modding/power plans for it or happy with it as it is?

[monsween]

I will be getting some roll cage padding for it. Just haven't got round to it yet. Also one of the perks of being a short arse is you don't hit it day to day.

There are no more power plans. I'm really happy the way it drives now. Maybe try and improve my times by other means but no power.

Track days and more drag days planned for next year

[Baryonyx]

That is absolutely awesome! I love the wheels. Good to see a Supra that hasn't been barried to hell and back!

[greggy50]

Really superb nicest I have seen apart from Jamie P's
I personally would another 200bhp say 600 - 700 max and would be my perfect supra anymore and would become far too more of a handful as visually it is already

[mazdajason]

Very nice, will also be keeign an eye out for it around ABZ.

[Rosscow]

Carpets could do with a hoover.....

Very nice OP

Completely agree with this, another 200bhp or so and this would be supra perfection! No nasty bodykits, subtle styling and awesome wheels

Love it, nice job OP

Gorgeous car pal !

[Honestherbert]

Very nice, money has been spent in all the right places

[Fluid]

Very nice. Good to see one without a massive body kit on.
