Chariot of the Damned, Supra

[SLAMbert]

Ha. Got some origins off a s14a for next to nothing so i thought ide try it.



This is how it started, i chopped it and measured how much ide need to add, turns out about 9cm, but you also need to trim it where the door will run in line and the lips on the parts that connect to the bodywork, also where it connects to the door shut you need to trim that.

Ive got mine at work all extended and fine looking, i trial fitted them the other day and it fits nice and snug but a couple of little alterations are still needed to make it sit flush to the bodywork.

At the end of the day though mate its better then the tat most places sling out for these old girls.

i think i'm in love. I am 900% going to rip you off, i hope you're okay with that? I can't believe how good that looks!

I can't believe the garbage people are willing to buy for the MK3. it's a 25+ year old ride, and the best people could come up with is these fucking VIS/VEILSIDE/RICE twat-squirtings?:







MK3 owners wake-the-fuck up ya dum-dums.

1010tire no good?

[HWY HNTR]

I mean, I'm assuming tire rack either doesn't ship up there or they don't have the tires you're looking for? They usually have really great service whenever i get tires from them.

Car looks great btw, keep it up

nice mk3! too many locals here swap up to 1j and 2j's like they are going out of style. I like the blacked out 'vadar' look. nicely done

Thanks man! I'm looking to do a 2j swap eventually. i love the 7mgte, but since the mk3 is a heavy car, 300hp doesn't feel quite as insane as it should anymore.

I'm on there right now. I'll have to just buy them and ship them. They have the best prices, its just that shipping (especially cross border shipping) costs so much, and i'm not close enough to the border to go there to pick it up states-side. also no retailer near me that won't charge an arm and a leg for some reason. that's life i guess.

1010tire no good?

Thanks for the suggestion but they didn't have the sizes i wanted for the price i was hoping for

tire rack does ship up here, but their prices plus shipping is a bit too steep for me.
I'm a poor man playing at a rich mans game here haha. Thanks man, i appreciate it.

Agreed, and thank you!

So after two days of letting my tire dude play with them, he wasn't able to mount the 215 35's on. The sidewalls are just too stiff, even popping them with brake cleaner didn't work. Feeling pretty bummed about that. I'm going to order from tires easy. i was hoping to buy an elliptical this month but i guess that's out the window. I've been waiting to get these wheels on forever. it sucks.



Shipping is going to be another $200 on top.

oh well, gotta pay to play.

What i did when the tyre didn't fit was, stretch then up a bit before trying to get them on. A few blocks of wood and sitting in front of the heater for a couple of days did the trick...

That's a great idea. What i did was i took my heat gun, went over the side walls, then pumped the heat right into the inside of the wheel/tire cavity. i did that for awhile until it got nice and warm. put some concrete blocks down, stretched the tire away from the beaded side with weights, filled it with brake cleaner and set it off. i tried this multiple times with different amounts of weight and cleaner but there just wasn't a close enough gap to create the pressure necessary to pop the bead on. in the end i think these tires are too old, worn out, and stiff to stretch on, and i don't have the tools to make it work. also took the tires previously to a guy who spent two days trying to get them on with every method he was aware of, and couldn't make it happen. so the hunt for tires continues.

i cut my hand with an Xacto knife the other day and it was bleeding a lot.

I rubbed the blood on the mk3's supra emblem.

epic.

If you have an ox/acetylene torch you can throw some pure oxygen in there with whatever accelerant you're using (starting fluid, carb cleaner, lacquer thinner) and it will pop real nice, just don't blow up your tire...

Brake cleaner has a lot of water in it iirc. I got the best results with lacquer thinner because it's very volatile but doesn't evaporate too quickly, plus, it comes in the biggest container. :P
