George Kitas: Two-Tone MKIII
Featured is a 1990 Toyota Supra GT owned by George Kitas.
George’s passion for cars started at a young age alongside his brother and Dad. Even when George was young, his life had already been introduced to the Mk3 chassis as his older brother owned one in the 90’s. It wasn’t just Supra’s he came to love but rather Toyota as a whole. As George grew older, he had the itch to own one himself. After almost a year long search, he decided to put an ISO Ad up. It took almost 6 months before a promising seller reached out and said he might consider selling his. For the next 6 months, George persisted in convincing him to sell. When the seller gave in, the Supra was shipped to Sydney where it currently resides with George.
The Supra had been painted in two tone. Factory 206 Black Ruby Pearl with grey on the bottom. It sits on Tein Coilovers, Work Meister M13P, upgraded 4 piston and 2 piston Brembos for improved brake power. Engine modifications to the 1J include rebuilt CT12a Turbos with CT20 billet internals, ported manifolds, a 5” dump, custom intake pipes, KKR intercooler, 800cc injectors, Walbro 460 fuel pump, and 3” exhaust. The interior also received attention with reupholstered 2 tone black and grey leather. For a small touch, the Supra logo was embroidered into the seats.
Currently, the Supra has been in the shop receiving more upgrades such as: Machined head, Kelford 260 cams and springs, 1250cc injectors, r35 coils, Haltech Elite 2500, and flex fuel tune.
George is also having the engine bay tidied up to take advantage of this time while the engine is out. He also plans on getting the intake manifold powder coated. Previously, before the listed modifications that are getting installed. The car made 367hp. After everything is installed he hopes to make 515-550hp.
Thank you George for taking the time to answer my questions and sharing your story. If you enjoyed the feature please give George a follow. He’s got a good project worth following!
