Yes - its been a year or so I've been visiting the Forums - thought it was about time I posted some details of my pride and joy! :bigok:
YEAR: 1983
CAR: GA61 Toyota Supra (Celica XX) Import
RESIDES: Perth, Western Australia
OWNER: Damien Ferraz a.k.a. Damo [WA_TRD_83]
Purchased the car in 1999 from a dood who imported it from Japan about a year earlier.
The car was in exellent to almost perfect condition with original paint, minimal rust (only I know where its hiding!! hehe - but trust me, it ain't much), all electrics and stock running gear apart from a 2 1/2in exhaust.
Happily purchased with the original engine going strong, and only ~83,000km on the clock!
Since then it has been a slow and steady mod process, with only subtle differences to the original purchase of the car.. but don't worry - there is more to come!! :dancin:
So here's the nitty gritty as she stands at the moment:
RUNNING GEAR:
1G-GEU engine = 2lt 6cyl Twin Cam EFI.
Supra 5spd manual + new clutch
Standard LSD
Pod filter
2 1/2in -- 3in exhaust, with stainless Magnaflow muffler and tip
STOPPING POWER:
4 wheel disc brakes
Fronts have been upgraded to bigger calippers (possibly cressida) and DBA MA61 Slotted rotors
ROLLING:
16" Simmons B45 mag wheels (6.5" wide I think??!)
Toyo 205/55/16 tyres
Standard springs and suspension - to be upgraded soon to Kings springs and Koni shocks.
EXTERIOR {OTHER}:
Colour coded wipers
Front meshing
Door decals
Window decals
[TRD 83] personalised license plates
IN-CAR ENTERTAINMENT:
ALPINE CD player 50 x 4
4in Kenwood splits mounted in custom front door pod
JVC 6x9 inch speakers in rear walls
ALPINE V12 400w 2ch amp
2x 12inch Clarion V-Net subwoofers in custom sealed box
--> all installs done by me! and last SPL comp registered 142.3dB!! :werd:
INTERIOR {OTHER}:
Sports steering wheel
Stainless Sports gear shifter
Sports pedals with non slip rubber to keep the boys in blue happy!
5inch Autometer Sport-Comp Monster tacho + shift lite
Unfortunately i have no power figures or quarter mile times etc etc... but she goes well for a 20 year old sports car, and I'm having fun learning to drift in a car with moderate power.
Soon to come is the 7MGTE engine transplant, upgraded/lowered suspension, drift style body kit, and customised/retrimmed interior.
I'll post pics as the progress continues.. which will be whenever the money comes!! *crosses fingers for lotto win* :lol:
Till then - any questions or comments welcomed!!
Cheers! Hope you likey!!
