Cool my new dd & future ls1 project? and its tragic set-back :(...

as some of you know, ive going back and forth the last year & a 1/2 trying to figure out which car i would like to have as a dd. that way the supra could go from being my semi-daily (along with my ws6) to being put under knife. of coarse i didnt want just any normal grocery gitter...it had to be something nice & sporty which is usually a bad idea when choosing a dd

i looked at everything from mr2s, mkiii, 2g gsx, r32, heck i even found a couple mkiv's, and a viper that were within my trade/budget goals. i did get outbid on a tt 6spd mkiv by $500 bucks on ebay a few months ago.

anyways, i had to part ways with my last bike. i bought it new in 05 w/1 mile....i put just under 13k and was fortunate enough not to ever lay it down. it was the new body style and i held out so's to get the new blue color it came in. ty howard of typhoon powersports (yes, the ama/daytona sportbike racer) modded this at his shop in weatherford. lowered, powedercoated rims, sliders & some "top secret" stuff lol. last pic before going to a good new home...






but anyways, here is the newest member to join the family...




i value that dog more then i do that mustang...its for sale, any takers?




next to my brothers 2g eclipse...couldnt believe the size difference.



at the 8-1 cowtown car meet.




still going thru the huge envelope of mods/recipts...will post later.

Only thing I'm not feeling about that car is the color, other than that, I wouldn't mind having one myself but I'm somewhat in the market for a truck so I can park my Camaro and really put it under the knife.

Maybe one day though but good looking car OP. When you get the parts list figured out, let us know if you don't mind.

You know what the numbers are on the car the way it sits?

Forgive my ignorance, but what is it? I'm not familiar with most imports, our first import was only just bought 1 week ago.

Love how RX-7's look! I just can't justify spending the money on one.

Good looking car. Sucks about the rear ending.

Good looking car, big fan of FD's and FC's, looks like a little smurf. So how about a photoshoot with the FD, WS6, and the supra?
