Matt 6

Which way are you planning on travelling down mate? Might cut across country and meet up with you all for a cruise down.

Well my Supra is back on the road on Saturday so aslong as the other half doesn't make any plans for me I will be there in my nice shiney Supra!! Can't wait to use it again.

Love that car Tom, was sat hangin' my nose over it when I saw it on Ebay but couldn't bring myself to sell the Supra to pay for it!! Look forward to seeing it in the flesh at some point.

Look forward to the pics mate from your shoot today, glad you enjoyed it in the end. Just been reading this months (June) issue of Fast Bikes and noticed a nice pic of your dear lady in there. Texts have been sent for the voting in the Magazine, she wins hands down mate.

Love the rims mate !! Great pics too

Photoshoots with Max Power ain't that bad, or they didn't use to be!! Had a few magazine shoots with my cars in the past aswell as helping out with a local company and there project cars. It should atleast be a laugh, hope it goes well for you guys.

Only the interior to decide what to do with now......

Can't believe this............ Doesn't look like I will be able to make this meet now Was really looking forward to showing off my new paint job too It will be for a good reason though.........

Cheers everyone for all your comments The rear end is from a company called Regulus, never seen it before anywhere other than there website. Wheels are staying white, having the done the same white as the car. Just been to have my O.Z vinyls made for them in reflective Red so they stand out even more at night Tyres are all slicked up at the minute, been out cruising in it for the last 3 days!! Insured it for 1 week so I could use it over this weekend before I take my rims off!! Just had to use it in this good weather. Doesn't look like I am going to make the Bubble Inn meet now though, really gutted about that But it will be for a good reason!!!

After my baby being off the road over the winter I decided to have it painted before the good English weather returned Just over three weeks ago I took my car to a local paint shop which is owned by a good friend of mine. Working on the car after work for a couple of hours each night until it was totally stripped on the outside, including the glass being removed. All the bodykit was repaired where it had being marked and stressed over the years in Japan and then preped ready for paint. Once this was done the rest of the body was preped. To our amazement the body was perfectly straight apart from the bonnet!! The only repair work the whole body needed was a small dent in the front part of the bonnet, we couldn't believe it When I first bought the car about 8 months ago I noticed that the bonnet was all crazed in the paint work. When we started to flat the bonnet back to get rid of this we found out that the laquer on the bonnet was still soft and had never hardened at all!! Very strange indeed. The bonnet was then flatted back to bare metal primed ready for paint. All this prep work took us about 2 weeks and was done off site from the bodyshop as I couldn't be taking space up down there for that long. Easter Friday morning I went across to finish the prep work and to start bagging the car up ready to over to the paint shop, luckily my friend finished work early that day which ment we got it down to the shop Friday afternoon instead of Saturday morning, bonus. Now the bodyshop is about 5 miles away from where it had all been preped and stripped, so this made for an interesting drive through Nottingham in a Supra that was stripped of all its bodykit, mirrors, handles and glass!!! Friday afternoon the car was painted which ment we could leave it to air dry in the paint booth over night rather than having to bake it and get it back out quickly. It has had 4 coats of base colour and 4 coats of laquer to help give it a really deep shine. Once we had driven it back to the other unit on Saturday morning my friend then spent the rest of the day flatting and polishing the whole car. Bank Holiday Monday I spent most of it rebuilding my car to the point that I needed the glass refitting. Glass fitters came back on Friday diner, so Friday night I finished the build ready for the bodykit to be flatted and polished. Again my friend spent most of his weekend on and off polishing the whole car ready for me to collect on Sunday evening, WOW!!! What a result, she is gorgeous again All new badges have been fitted this week and next week I am having the wheels refurbished and hopefully new arch liners fitted to finish the outside off. Then its time for the interior...........

If I remember rightly the F3 races are part of the TOCA Series which will mean they will be the support races for the BTCC again this year. I will find out and post it on this thread, a friend of mine works for a F3 team so shouldn't be hard.

What teams were there testing today then guys?? I am off down on Thursday, anyone else going on Thursday from the forum? Planning on being there for around 12:30ish, be good to meet up with anyone that is going.

Happy St. George's Day everyone, I pick my Supra up later from the Body Shop!!! What a day.

I haven't bought anything yet but need to do something as they look dull now I have had the car painted. I would prefer the black headlights looking at them now, take it they are the Face-lift J-Spec ones? I can buy direct from Toyota at very cheap prices you see so might buy new ones. Who refurbs headlights and where are they in the Uk, that also sounds like a good idea.

Sound then. Are the Uk lamps the ones I should be buying or are J-Spec face-lift lamps better ? Mine are the early type with the chrome insides and built in side lights

What will I need to buy aswell as my new headlights to convert from my old yellow J-Spec lamps to new shiney Uk Spek ones ?

I am going to this on the Thursday but won't be going in the Supra. Just planning on spending the afternoon there as I am off to Red Bull Racing in the morning to look round and see what its all about.

I would be up for a run out one night once the weather is abit better. Should have my car back next week so looking forward to going everywhere and anywhere in it :D

Right then folks Next Bubble Inn Meet is on May 14th Meet at the Bubble around 11:30 - 12 ish ? Anyone going from the Notts area fancy meeting at the Beefeater again and cruising over ?
