Customer Spotlight -- MKIII Supra

Within the import community the MKIV Supra overshadows all of the older generations these days but the MKIII Supra still has a pretty strong following of enthusiasts and the car itself still has a ton of potential.  Our customer Jon has had a strong love of the Mark 3 and finally found this great basis for a project.

 

One short coming of the MKIII Supra in standard trim is the somewhat unreliable 7M-GTE engine it was equipped with.  Our customer decided to make the jump to the more powerful and more reliable 1JZ-GTE twin turbo motor.  We made some subtle changes to enhance the performance of the Supra while striving for a factory like appearance on the exterior and under the hood.  

The interior saw a good cleaning and the custom installation of some sport seats from a Dodge Neon SRT-4.  Pretty amazing for a car this old eh?

The HKS exhaust adds an aggressive not to the exhaust under boost without hurting the stock like appearance the customer was looking for.  The lowering springs also added that slight drop for better handling while not hurting the driveability or ride of the Supra.  The stock sport settings still work on this old girl!

The project finished with all of our customer's goals met or exceeded with the perfect blend of a factory like appearance, increased reliability, and much better performance when compared to the stock car we started out with.
