My 98 Supra
I made a thread on Supraforums sharing pics of my new 98 Supra. Thought I would share with you all as well...
I have been working on this car for 4 months now and she is finally "done"
I originally purchased this car from VIP Imports back in 2003. At that time, Chris Johnson (PM) and BoostLogic built me a 1,000 rwhp car that made its debut at TX2K3. Not a few weeks after TX2K3, my good friend Bob Helms approached me about buying her. Just like that she was gone.
Recently, I started on a quest to find an original paint 98 that was either black, QS or white...lo and behold, Bob mentioned he might be interested in selling her back to me...and here we are today. In the 7 years he owned the car, he only put 3k miles on her.
I have spend the last 4 months working with Tommy Banh at Autobanh Motorsports, Nero and Bottle at Titan Motorsports and my good friend Dusty at MVP Motorsports to build her into what she is today.
Soooooooo, here are the mods and TONS of pics.

Congrats on an absolutely beautiful and top notch Supra. I love those seats. I want a pair for my ISF. I can not even imagine the pull when that much horsepower hooks up. I owned a '94 Supra TT and miss it dearly.

wow, beautiful. Good choice of wheels
I have to be honest, I do miss mine and constantly have those regrets about selling. I too may be back at some point. I've played with the idea of a GTR, but there will always be something about a Supra for me.
