Thanks. I'm trying to keep it as stock as possible, as I have to since otherwise it wont pass the "Oldtimer" status in 2 years. I just changed the steering wheel to a smaller momo one, put in a Head Unit that likes my Ipod, and some Rota RB-R Wheels. The Rotas mainly because I dont get Tires anymore for the standart Rims (225/60/14) so I had to change to bigger wheels.

Engine differs here in Switzerland. There are 82-83 MKII Supras with the 5MGE engine, however without the overfenders. And there are the 84-85 MKII Supras (as mine is), with the 5M-E Engine, but with the overfenders. I love the overfenders so I dont mind to have the "crown" engine :-) This is due to Swiss Law on emissions back in that day, the 5MGE engine didnt pass the law back in 84, so they put in the 5M-E to be still able to sell it.

I'm not a fan of huge wings normally, but I like how this turned out. Post up some shots with the wheels on! I feel like it needs something besides the OEM wheels to complete the look.

Thank you. Well, its not always like that, you have to drive to the right spots. But yes, we've got plenty of nice roads around if you know where they are.
Wait till summer comes next year, I'll stick my GoPro on my GT86 and do a video on those roads http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13130 I'm pretty sure you will like them

Still havent broke the car in yet, so cant rev it over 4000. I "think" it sounds a bit more agressiv from about 3400rpm under load, but I'll put up a better feedback once I can use the full rpm range of the car

Nice... We didn't get the 5MGE here in Australia either, and had the lowly 5ME... and hence mine is now modified beyond all recognition...

Sometimes I wish I had a nice, clean stock MA61 again...

It sure is difficult to get 225/60/14 tyres though! I love the stock wheels, but not that much. CelicaSupra.com did a run of 17" repros, but they don't have the charm of the 14" in my opinion.

Did a DIY on the TRD Sound Changer, you can also find some Videos showing the difference of them in the Tread (Videos are from youtube, not made by myself)

Got my Diode Dynamics center console plates last week. Quality is really good and price is just awesome.
Delivery was fast as hell aswell, took only 5 days from US to Europe.

Love how it fills up the ugly black spot on the center console. Easy and cheap mod, and if i should ever get bored of it I just can take it out.

You can also fill up that ugly black spot by purchasing a Subaru BRZ
