Well as some of you may know, I worked out a deal on my friends 300ZX TT and then shortly after I had a friend call me (Mayo on here) and asked about selling it to him... Turns out he wanted the car so before I even had the title in my name, he bought it...

Since I already had the itch to buy a car because I was excited about the 300, that I started searching and found this car... It needs a little bit of tlc and a lot of boost, but it will be the project car for a while... As stated above its a white hardtop 95 Supra and currently NA automatic... Brad and I looked the car over extremely closely to make sure it was what I wanted, and without a doubt it was... We picked it up Monday evening after work... The car is as close to bone stock as it gets... It has some 19" staggered wheels on it at the moment that will be for sale soon, and other than that the car is all stock with 111k miles... The passenger side fender has been painted, and it looks like a blind man did it... No worries though as the car will be going to the paint shop soon... This chassis has always been my dream car (prior to the GT-R coming to the states) and I finally had a chance to buy one... So here it is...

Pics that were taken by the previous owner...

And here is one of the car in its new home Monday night...

And here are a pic from last night of the first fix on the car... I had to get the windows taken care of because the tint on there was bothering me... For one, the color of the tint was horrible, and also you could not even see out of the back windshield due to haziness in the film... Now that it's been fixed, I like the car even more

Slowly but surely I will get the car to my liking...

Thanks for checking out the new project!

Yeah man getting rid of them even though I love how they look and also how they feel... I think you'll like the setup that will be going on the car :wink:

Not finished yet... I've been super busy and haven't got time to finish the swap... Hopefully they should be ready to go on the car within the next couple weeks... Still need to do a final test fit and have them painted before I put them on... With the weather getting nice, I'm itching to drive the car so I will be working on it as soon as I get some time...

Not sure of mods in the near future... I got some TRD sway bars still sitting in the box, but I want to have them powder coated as they only come in red and would not match anything on the car... I will have them powder coated black and then put those on the car... Other than that, nothing in mind for near future mods as of today...

Sad day... It's still just sitting up with the front on jack stands and no new brakes installed yet... The head is also off the car and needs to be put back on with the new head gasket... It's just been on the back burner as I was extremely busy with work in 2015 and didn't have the motivation to get back in the garage... I've also been trying to save money, which is something I have never been good at but slowly getting better...

So I still need to do the brake conversion IF I can get these massive front calipers to fit behind my current wheels... So far no luck with 2 tries of machining the calipers down... One last try and if it doesn't fit the Z06 ones will remain on the car but will get painted before going back on along with the rear Brembo 4 pistons... Also, the TRD sway bars still need to be swapped onto the car... And just ordered some new coilovers this morning that will need to be installed once they arrive...

Other random items waiting to go on the car; new OEM door weather stripping both inner and outter for both sides, front fender liners need to go back on, TRD thermostat, new crank damper, and billet timing belt tensioner... That's all I can think of for now...

I am really itching to drive this thing again (as always) so things will start moving quickly here soon... Only thing slowing me down now is the cold weather... I hate working on the car when it's freezing in the garage...

Saving eh? i see a big purchase or a shop opening up soon.

Hate that those brakes aren't fitting. What made you want to get coilovers?

Yea cold weather sucks.

Yeah man, it actually feels nice to save for once lol! Hmmm you are in the right direction on both accounts... Been looking for land for the next (hopefully final) home and then also to open a business...

Me too man but it's all good... I will be happy with the Z06 if these don't work... Actually I did not really want to get coilovers (was on the fence) but a local friend wanted the suspension off my car and made a decent offer so I had to replace it with something...

Damn, I haven't been on here in forever and decided to hop over. This thing's gone through a ton since you picked it up. Looks good. i'll have to pop in every once in a while to check for updates.

Maybe a little off subject, but Have you thought about trying the C6 ZR1 brakes? I saw on the the corvetteforum where a guy put them on his C5. Cost him almost $10K but he said the stopping power was unreal. Super expensive but would be Super BADASS!

Hope you get this thing together soon. I love Supras, and If I ever have enough disposable income, I might pick one up and do what you've done.

I did think about it, but would be extremely hard to fit behind my 18" stepped lip wheels... Same issue I am having at the moment with the SRT8 Jeep Brembo 6 piston setup on the front... For $10k though I would probably just buy the kits made for the car... I'm looking for a cheaper way out to have 6 piston fronts and 4 pistons rears...

Hmmm I've picked up many cars, more than I ever post on here... I like to buy cars that I like and drive/enjoy them for a bit and then sell them... I haven't bought any other vehicles that are keepers yet if that is what you are wondering...
