Tell me about it! Yeah i just read up on some specsheets online that it was an option from the factory. So brucie bonus in my book

no wonder it feels planted in the corners.

Will do

Nice car Dan

Sorry I'm with Ben on the wheels, but if we all liked the same things would be boring!!

What is "Raijin"?

Chief/Thunder god

Its basically the Japanese Shinto equivalent of Zeus or Thor.

Thanks Rob

yeah i can see where Ben is coming from and i myself think that it'll look just as nice with some aftermarket wheels on it. But the thing is, how many visually box standard Supras do you see on the roads? Pretty low numbers

so to be different, i'm going to leave it standard

And top marks to Matt

is indeed the thunder god.

So this afternoon i went ahead and bought a nice set of new disks and Mintex pads from ebay

hopefully they'll arrive mid next week for fitting.

I thought it was a play on words .. As in 'Raging' (as in mad) done in a clever jap styleee ...

.

With the wheels .. what I meant was, I said the same thing about mine on it's standard rims .... however within 6 months I was hunting down volks ...

Famous last words Dan.

Looks really nice though. I still hanker after one of them sometimes. Can't see me getting rid of the Gtr for one though.

haha i know i know, but seriously unlike the MR i really do want this to be largely stock

well you never know, one day you might want one as a run around
