Best of Black!

[Stevo151]

A few members have asked for pics of my Supra... here you go:beer:

A little background. Supra's here in Japan are a dime a dozen. Turboed ones are a little harder to find. But it's not too difficult. This was owned by a fellow Marine who attempted (and failed) to paint the car himself. He was about ready to leave the island so I picked it up for pretty cheap even by Okinawa standards. $4500 for a BPU TT auto with less than 60k miles on it. Getting a downpipe, midpipe, ECU, boost control, and turbo timer next week in trade for some Volk Challenge racing wheels- shooting for 450rwhp:rockon: Anyhow- on to the pics.

ive heard about so many people buying cars like a supra over there for so cheap compared to them over here in the states!! a buddy got a r32 that was pretty done up for like 6k over there... you got a great deal! :rockon:

All three of my vehicles are black, nothing shines like them when clean.

The cars over here are crazy cheap compared to the states. RX7's, R32's, R33'a, M series Bimmers (late 90's early 2ks), s13/s14 Sylvia's, 2JZGTE Supra's, 2JZGTE Aristo's, TourerV Chaser etc etc... I've seen them all go for anywhere from 2k-10k. The big issue over here are tuners and dyno's. Not sure how it is in mainland Japan but I've only been able to locate one dyno and the guy doesn't use it for dyno tuning- only for benchmark purposes. When people do tuning it's on the street with a laptop. We'll see how it goes.

***Warning- Non-Mustang content ahead***

Here's my black car, and currently daily driver. Don't worry, my first love will always be Mustangs. I'll have another someday, hopefully soon.

Noble's are complete bada$$es on the track, but I'd like to see more pics of the car in the background. Is that a Torino Talledega?

Hey man, good eye! Actually it's only a 68' Torino GT. Picked it up last weekend. It's my "road warrior" dystopian future apocalypse car project. Gonna fix it up a bit and also put some wide 15" all black wheels with raised white letter tires on her.

Got a bunch, the stock ones are so old I don't even have the original files anymore, and both were taken with the same 5+ year old digi cam so sorry for the grainy-ness (?) and bad lighting. This is on my '99 with stock spoiler moved back ~3 inches, 03 rear (obviously) and matching 01-04 SVT emblem (not the "SVT Cobra one we '99'rs got), and mainly suspension/brake work (for auto-x and future road racing).

The "now" pictures below are right after a good clay bar application, but not polishish/waxed yet ... after sitting for ~three years (long story). Doing DD duty for the time being, but still auto-x'd and "spirited driving" on the desolate desert roads out here. Other than the front bumper, the paint is actually very shiny once its clean, clay'd, and polished :rockon:

And to the dude with the Noble - very nice :beer:
