Looking nice... Go invest in the following: Meguiars Gold, Meguiars Tech Wax, Stoner glass cleaner, and Meguiars quick detail.. It will have it sparkling like the black one.. Has it had any basic upgrades (down pipe, catback, boost guage, boost controller)? Only thing thats relatively cheap and fast to install, you've already got, the '98 style tail lights.. You'll want to do the '98 style headlights, they're glass and very expensive.. its a "splurge" type buy.. They're about $300 each
PS: Welcome to no longer having any cash in your wallet, and expensive partsville... You know how expensive.. Your negative battery cable, you cant buy anywhere but a dealership or online, and its $125!

I dont have 98 tails I think you need to look again lol. It has an intake fliter and a catless downpipe and that is all for that. it has a RPS 6 puck clutch with WOTm pressure plate and has a built motor (so they told me but no reciepts to provide so I have to research that cause I think sound performance did the work)
I will be getting 98 head light, dash trim, taillight - regaurdless the cost all slowly going to be bought. Of course a cat back exhaust of some sort. not sure when I will get a boost controller at this point because I just want to focus on clean up stuff.
I NEED a new air filter and i need new shocks for the hatch. I just replaced to dead tail light bulbs and two rear tires today.

Dont forget I have been driving an Evo for the last 3 years. Trust me $10k into motor mods alone. I know what is in store with this car and I also have more than enough time to do what I want to the car so no rush

Yes sir, Emonz57, I know that you own this car, that's why I (along with everyone else who doesn't own one) is so jealous. What I meant was that this car still looks like it is in mint condition after all these years. Enjoy your ride cuz you only live once.

If you think thats clean.. I'd hate to show you my current supra, and the black one I sold... You would definitely question me owning them...

I am totally stoked for you dude!!
I see what you mean about the cleaning not being upto you're standards, I am in the same boat. (You know that...)
With a little rubbing compound, some buffing, it could look showroom.
How long before you go over the car with fine tooth comb? lol
So, why were the tires down to the cords? Hmmm....

^ same thing i was thinking... it could mean lack of maintance...or abuse..... BUT HEY!!!! you own a supra now!!! lol

It has a built motor, so I assume the reason why is it blew up for some reason. all I know is someone was doing burn outs. but regaurdless the major maintanence things have been replaced due to the fresh build.

Probably some idiot doing burn outs.. When I had my 6speed TT, I was asked all the freaking time if I've done a burn out yet.. Even in my white one.. I'm too afraid to.. Expensive tires... I'm a posie.. Now that I have the Eclipse 5speed gs-t, I'd burn out in that because it has cheapie tires on it.. Except, its FWD :( ...

The hell with that, you can roast the F out of the tires in the Spyder easy
Abuse + Built motor = all gravy : ) I forgot that....
So, when are you doing to clean it?
