Introducing the 1999 Toyota Supra RZ-S
Once upon a time, in the land of the rising sun, Toyota crafted a masterpiece. This 1999 Toyota Supra RZ-S is a specimen of Japanese auto wizardry, now living the good life in Canada. Imported in 2022, this mean machine found a new home with its current dealer in July 2024.
Power and Performance
This beast roars to life with a twin-turbo 3.0L inline-six, equipped with the mystical powers of VVT-i variable valve timing. And when it comes to handling all that muscle, it’s paired with a six-speed manual gearbox and a limited-slip differential. No automatic laziness here, folks!
The Look
All dressed up in a pristine white coating, contrasted by gray cloth seats, this Supra isn’t just about what’s under the hood. The modifications include:
- A Kakimoto Racing exhaust system to give it a voice worthy of its prowess.
- Tein coilovers for a ride smoother than your jazz playlist.
- A Pioneer Carrozzeria head unit to keep the tunes as fresh as the ride.
- GReddy boost gauge to keep an eye on all that turbo goodness.
- 18” alloy wheels to roll in style.
Thanks to the selling dealer, this Supra now boasts an ACT clutch assembly and flywheel, and its lifeblood—fluids—have been renewed. For those itching to get their hands on this beauty, it’s up for grabs in the vibrant land of maple and moose, Canada, with a CarVX report and a stamp of legitimacy courtesy of Ontario registration.
Aerodynamics and Exterior Charm
Now, let’s talk aesthetics. This series two A80 Supra borrows from Mother Nature with aerodynamic bodywork that whispers secrets to the wind. The white exterior boasts a rear wing, bold black emblems, and an ever-practical rear window wiper. A quick flick through the CarVX report reveals this beauty has seen some adversity—a collision in October 2021—but like a true warrior, it’s come out stronger.
Tires and Suspension
On the performance front, bronze-finished 18” aftermarket alloy wheels wear 235/40 Continental ExtremeContact Sport tires like they’re going out of style. The Tein coilovers are no mere eye candy; they ensure every corner is as crisp as a new dollar bill. Want to stop this beast? Anti-lock four-wheel disc brakes have got you covered. With new brake and power steering fluids, it’s as ready to perform as an athlete on match day.
Interior Comforts
Step inside, and you’re greeted by a world spun around for right-hand drive adventurers. Front bucket seats, draped in gray cloth with darker inserts, invite you to sit down and feel the power. Behind you, patterned cloth trims the rear. And then, technology meets tradition—the Pioneer Carrozzeria touchscreen head unit flashes its techy smile, while air conditioning and power windows play the supporting role.
Fed up with the usual spotless dash? You’re in luck. This Supra’s character is textured by some dash wear. Authenticity never looked this good.
The Control Center
A three-spoke steering wheel frames a cockpit ready for liftoff. A central tachometer adds drama, flanked by gauges for speed, boost pressure, coolant temperature, and the ever-critical fuel level. The GReddy boost gauge commands its post atop the dash, ready to witness your journey into speed.
With a six-digit odometer reading 187k kilometers (or for our friends across the pond, ~116k miles), the steering wheel cover has seen its share of history, shaped by the hands of time.
The Heart of the Machine
Lurking beneath the hood, the twin-turbocharged 3.0L 2JZ-GTE VVT-i inline-six engine stands ready, armed with a Kakimoto Racing Regu 06&R exhaust. Power flows like a symphony through the Getrag V161 six-speed manual transmission to the rear wheels and a Torsen limited-slip differential ensures nothing goes to waste. Thanks to an ACT clutch assembly and flywheel, alongside fresh transmission fluid, this Supra is all about the drive.
Shades of the Past
The CarVX report didn’t miss a thing. It whispers tales of the October 2021 mishap and lists an open recall, providing auction sheet visuals like a detective poring over clues.
In Ontario, where the adventures are yet to unfold, this iconic piece of motoring history is poised to write its next chapter. Buckle up, because this Supra’s story is far from over.
