^^^Just my exact thoughts. I would say something more aggressive looking for wheels,, but other than that its looking really good. I used to own a 1993 Mazda RX7 with the twin turbos. I really wish I still had that car, maybe one day I will get my hands on another one*
After reading this thread, I decided to check and see what going rate for was on Ebay. Holy ****. People are asking over 60k. I mean, theyre cool cars, but I dont think I would personally spend that much.
Wheels arent my flavor but you did a great job with the car.

Both of you bring up good points. I've happy with the wheels, but I'm not ecstatic. They're infinitely better than what was on the car before, but I do agree that something a bit more aggressive would be suited to the car.
I picked up a set of HRE C21 (same as on my Z06) that I will be rebuilding and using for 2018. I think those will suit the car much better.

Yes, the prices of these cars have become ridiculous over the past few years. Clean, stock, low mileage, 6-speed cars in the right colour go for over $100K currently. It's an interesting time in the marketplace.
So it's officially out for the season! I pulled it out of the garage yesterday morning! I'm really pleased with how the paint looks overall considering where it started!
I am running a 305/35/19 tire out back (27.4") and it's obviously quite tall. I was hoping to get away without rolling the fenders, but there wasn't quite enough clearance. We did a tiny bit of rolling just to get them to clear.
I put ~300 miles on the car yesterday and made it down to Toronto with no issues. I can't get over how much attention this car gets. Far more than the Z06, and it's a pretty subtle color, too.
Nice pictures will come eventually! For now, iPhone pictures will have to do!
not sure about the inside cause I cant remember that far back, but the outside of that car doesnt look near as dated as its age would suggest. especially one that has been restored as well as yours.

The car has surprisingly aged nicely - it doesn't look (too) dated. The interior hasn't done as well; it's the classic bland '90s Japanese interior. Functional, but nothing with any flare. It's very driver centered, though - all the instrumentation faces the driver. The passenger is really just along for the ride.
Beautiful car man. You have done a wonderful job on this car. The supra definitely has a special place in my heart. I love the design of it and has aged gracefully thats for sure. I like the interior design also, just those little quirks that make you appreciate it all the more.
