Congrats on the iconic car man!

Hope you still stick around for when they release sti/trd models that can rival the supra.

I never like the taupe interiors but it'll have to grow on me.

Looks beautiful and completely straight!
Right on, thanks bro. You still have your white one right? I'm stoked but at the same time can't concentrate at work. I keep over-analyzing all of these low res pics to find something wrong but I can't. I asked him if he can take a look at that tank cover even though it's not a biggie and under the car. Knowing me, I'll still probably swap it with a new OEM one.

Thanks man!

Yeah, that's what I'm sort of hoping for too. I'm still going to post up because I honestly believe the FR-S/BRZ are going to be iconic cars in their class too.
I love Toyotas and knowing them, they'll have a nicer FR-S as the years go on. :happy0180:

Yup, still have the white one!


And don't worry too much over it! In fact, I would suggest not replacing the fuel tank unless its actually broken, because OEM parts can be EXPENSIVE and going crazy on the restoration might cost you as much as BPUing!

Just spend your money on quality gas and get some seat time!

Why gas!?

Yeah, I'll prob leave it. Kind of feels good to be part of the Supra brotherhood. I still have love for the FR-S.

Can you post up some pics of your white MKIV.

It's a Boostlogic Automatic, so it can handle the power and deliver it well. The Trans overheats kinda often though, so my bro bought some Trans coolers, we haven't installed them though...


As a bonus, this is the one we just sold!

If I can dig up the '97 Jewel Green TT we had, that would be awesome! It had 63k miles and we were the second owners. Best condition Supra I had ever owned!

I still get Jewel Green and Imperial Jade Mica mixed b/c they look so close to each other. That is a rare color along with RSP (my favorite color). I seen your RR for sale and it was priced right to sell.

At least you still have one and just like in the other thread about a stock Supra, the look so good when dropped on the OEM wheels; especially polished.
