Look what was in my driveway on saturday!!!

Here are some pics (the link below) of my freinds (Jeremy) 1993.5 Supra TT. These were taken in my driveway saturday after the first coat of zaino. His second turbo died some months ago so he deicded to go all out. We spent alot of tme putting this monster together at his house and its a friggin monster!!!!!!!

Oh Yeah - there some pics of my hooptie also, Jeremy is lobbying hard for me to sell the Lightning and get a supra. I am seriously considering after the feeling the pull this car has!!!

If you any where near Pensacola Florida and see this car dont even think of racing it especially on the highway!!!!!!

Yeah, those Supras are Badazz when modded. There are vids of them on the Supra forums outrunning Busa's from 70 mph rolls!! I usually try to avoid them and Grand Nationals, you just never know if they're a mid 13 second car or a mid 9 by looking at them. Better to just let them alone rather than go home and lick my wounds!

Those supras are fun to mod and toy around with. My cousin bought an '89 on ebay for $2400. Hes got the 7MGE engine right now, but hes buying a 7MGTE (Turbo). I can't even remember all the other mods hes putting on, but those things are fun.

Mark IV Supra TTs have been a fantasy car of mine for a long time. Someday I will have one.

Indeed. The MKIV Supra TT has been one of my dream cars as well. And I too shall have one; and not too long into the near future if all goes well.

An MKIV Supra TT BPU++ w/ Auto Trans will run high 11's on street tires.

I think RICER is a physical and "mental" state of a vehicle........I've seen some V8 Domestics RICED OUT......not to mention the countless other 4-banger Domestics (Sunfires, Neons, Cavaliers, Grand Ams, ETC ETC ETC)........

To me, there are few cars in this or any other country, that NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO TO IT, they cannot be considered RICE, in any form of the phrase.......I'm proud to say the Lightning is one of them, but I guarantee you that another one in this group is he SUPRA..........that is one badass monster no matter what is done to it. That's the only car that makes the HUGE wings, wide body kits, even neon lights, look absolutely badass, simply because it's on a Supra. Definitely should not be mentioned in the same sentence as RICE.

BTW, Bob Tompkins, nice pics..........your friend has a badass Supra! Does he have the same Defi gauges as you do?

BTW...............Bob, I'm quite disappointed with you!

Before the Zaino job, you guys should have lined up side-by-side, and given us a nice burn-out that all your neighbors could see in the air for about 5 hrs later!! I did that with my friends Camaro a few weeks ago, only to have my brother take a picture with the lens cap on!!! I didn't want to go thru another $40 in tires for another attempt at a picture!!

My identity crisis- Have L & Supra

Tough call- both are great1 Sup is '95 with hair over 30k miles. L & Sup are both red. What a rut to be stuck in! I do seem to drive L more than Sup-- for whatever that means.

Same problem here. I have a 97 TT Supra Black with very low miles. Then my 02 Bolt. Bolt is my daily driver, the Supra is my toy. Although I am beggining to believe that they are al toys. Check my webpage for pics.
