Been a member for a few months now , thought it was about time i introduced my car . I wanted a Supra for as long as i can remember and after finally turning 25 and my insurance coming down i took the plunge 
Its a 1994 J-spec twin turbo...auto . Great auto box , much better than i had imagined and i couldnt stretch the extra 2k that manuals were going for at the time
The car came with some sensible mods already fitted - Racelogic tc , MINES ecu , Blitz Nur spec system , Up-rated SMC and a whole host of others up-rated parts .
This photo was from the "For sale" thread.
This was her last week
Bad cockpit at night shot
And showing off some new stickers
I have some big plans ahead for her including re-spray/new wheels and a lot of suspension work to get the handling how i like . No big silly bodykits or spoilers for me though sorry

Superb looking Supra. I'm extremely envious, as I've been pining over these for so long now! I like the wheels you've added since you purchased it, much better than those that were on it before. Although correct me if im wrong, but that photo makes all the dials look a bit wonky! Or maybe its the angle of the photo, i don't know.
Looks like you've got a fair bit of kit there as well, particularly inside. And i've had the pleasure of driving a TT auto and must say, its actually very smooth and a nice change for an auto. I can understand the TT 6spds being a bit out of budget, especially if you manage to get a UK one with reasonable mileage! Is yours an import, or UK spec?

Thanks bud , i think its the photo - i took it the night i got it , after driving from Reading back up to Glasgow and was pretty high on red bull Looks like you've got a fair bit of kit there as well, particularly inside.

Its an Import btw .Jamiep - wanna swap it for yours
Treated myself to a fun little daily driver so i can crack on and get the Supra sorted . Its a 92' Karmann cabrio with only 82k on the clock and i literally stole it from the previous owner who just wanted rid asap ! I hope the weather stays good this summer
Iphone pics are rubbish , i apologise !
Very nearly got a Mk IV Supra a few years back. Needed a new car; it ended up being a decision btwn a TVR Chimaera and a TT Mk IV Supra ... completely and utterly different cars of course. Would have been very happy with either, but ended up going with the Chim. From the point of view of preserving my license, it was probably the right choice. The Chim is noisy enough at the best of times, but as you start to make illegal progress it becomes deafening. The Supra on the other hand just went blindingly quickly without any drama. Didn't drive it long enough to get too good an idea of its handling, but it felt like it would make a brilliant GT.
Couple of updates now for the car . The paint was starting to look dull and rust had started to appear in a few areas so i raided my savings
The car was resprayed a pearlescent white , took me a while to grow to the colour . It can look a bit dull on a cloudy day but when the sun shines it really comes to life !
I decided shortly after that the alloys were now the weakest link and needed changed . I managed to bag a set of TTE alloys and after weeks of searching finally got some centre caps for them . Before fitting they needed painted
These just got fitted today so no proper photos yet but im really happy with them
I think im done now with the looks , maybe some coilovers but thats it .

Very nice, definatly on the "to-own" list.
New colours brilliant, much better with that splitter off, dint like that at all.
There is a good splitter for the stock front bumper that doesnt ruin the look at all, and still keeps the "no silly body kit" look.
(which are a fan of aswell).
Here we are, found it, worth a look. - i think.

I've had that exact lip in my garage for about a year now , never got round to fitting it . It needs modding slightly and painted ... I'll get round to it one day !!The way most of the Supras are going back to looking origional makes me very very happy, obsessed with these cars and yours looks great now. The TTE alloys are really nice as well, one of the very few that suit the cars I think.
Whats with the dials? Im pretty sure theres something different there?

Yeah the previous owner had the El-glow dials fitted , look pretty standard during the day and glow at night - they glow either blue or green and thankfully can be toned down slightly . They look a bit wonky in that photo though ! Whats with the dials? Im pretty sure theres something different there?
