Casey's RHD Swap/Build

tonystarks · 05-02-2006, 05:40 PM

good luck on the build. I just bought my supra and its alittle more difficult than my past cars ie; civic hatches. I had an 11 second hatcha and it took way too much work. My friend bought a supra and put half the money that I had into my hatch and he runs low 12's but looked a million times better tailwhipping! haha damn your interior looks fawkin nice. I'm in the process of just getting my mk3 running decent so I can drive it daily. I'm locating new replacement oem parts but am having a hell of a time. Its fun though. Better than busting a nut when I find what I'm looking for! CarbonFX has a lot of cf for the mk3 . I love their hood but its like 700 bucks.... shiet I'm cheap! I just located a mint stock hood so I'm sticking with that. haha what kind of mods do you have to do to fit those 10'' tires in the frnt?

i needed to do something like what was done with the paint. so i went to my local auto parts store and bought some of the dupli-color vinyl and fabric paint. it worked amazingly well. thanks for the tip and i would most definately recommend this.

Ah, good catch. I guess thats what I get for posting at around 1am after a long day of work. Lol. And yea, the dupli-color spray paint works insanely well for just spray paint. Not sure how long it will last but it shouldnt matter much because it's only going to be a weekend car if that.

And....

I think I found new seats to put into it. It's the ones that come in the GT V6 Tiburons. Its black with red stitching and whatnot. Problem is they have airbags in them. Which will make them big money to get. So if they come without airbags I might pick up a pair. If they do then I'll just say forget it and recover my seats. I was thinking microfiber lol. But that would be crazy expensive.

These are them.....

Very comfortable and feels very well made. Since I work at an oil change place I get to test out a lot of seats while driving the cars into the bays.

I used WLED 5-LED Wide Angle LED and 74 Wedge Base LED bulbs from superbrightleds.com. One is 3 down from the top and the other is the 12th one down. You just pull the bulbs out of the bases and replace them with the LEDs.

Supra2NR · 05-09-2006, 01:48 AM

correct me if im wrong i jus did this today nd forgot already cuz i was really pissed off about the results of what i did , so its 4 of the wled wide angle , and one 74 wedge right?

dcrusupra · 05-09-2006, 02:09 AM

Yup. Thats it.

Well, I called a few dealerships. A Q45 TB w/ TPS is $598. GT V6 Tiburon driver and passenger seats are $3000. And I also like the new Mazda3 seats. They are very comfortable and stylish. They are $1500 for both. So the Mazda3 seats are a definitely a possibility. But they are ungodly heavy because of the airbag system they put in it.
