FINSTER

The wheels have now been sold to a fellow supra owners club member!!!

Thanks for the pics Nic!

The tyres have plenty of tread you wont be dissapointed and the wear is even, my wheels are always laser alligned. Make me a bid and I will let you know if its what I will take, I currently have 18 people viewing the wheels on e.bay. Regards.

Air impulse version 2 centre intake induction kit for supra 3.0 N/A j-spec 93-. Bought from Envy about 5 months ago, in excellent condition, paid approx £130. Offers please.

Not sure it was on j-spec supra - but there is alot of space inside the wheel so would think so - Nic may be able to tell you as i got the wheels from him (the guy who imports from japan always on this forum!)

Thanks for that simple yet effective!

Well its a long story but here goes. About 2 months ago i hit a wooden post that was on the side of the road and it damaged the front end of my belovered supra. I wanted to get it fixed but did not want to lose my no cliams bonus as I am getting a 350z in September (and i know they will pay out nothing and it will affect my insurance for ages) so I have decided to sell the car as damaged and take the loss (ouch). The mot ran out about 10days ago and its been sat in a garage for the last 2 months. The car was mint before i hit it in fact i washed it the day i hit it! All the details are on e.bay but if you own a garage it could be fixed. /vbb/images/smilies/bbcode_sad.gif /vbb/images/smilies/bbcode_sad.gif Thought i would let my fellow forum members know - its not been recorded. PS i have my 18" Advan wheels and Induction kit for sale on e.bay as well. If you find the link you can view them as well. Yes it is a sad day. If you know how to put the link on to e.bay it would be welcomed (the wheels are NOT bent at all, no damage to wheels at all). Item number: 190001771695

Very good colsoop how did you do that?

[ATTACH]38483[/ATTACH]4 wheels for sale, they have all been refurbished about 3 months ago and are in excellent condition (not bent!), the only marks are were the bolts have been taken off and put back in again by the garage. The fronts are 245/40/18's with bridgestone S02's and the rear are 285/35/18 with Dunlops. The treads are all legal and in good condition. The wheels are Advan VS-5's. I have put the wheels on e.bay so if you search you will find them (cant work out how to put the link direct!)

Had both rear arches rolled, then the lips repainted, and then cavity waxed - how much - well my mate owns a bodyshop and he wanted some beer money and I did make him some brews when he did it so it cost me £20!!!

Had the arches rolled now the rubbing has completely gone - how do i know? because after it had been done 3 mechanics and me driving took it round a roundabout untill the back end came round - no rubbing!!!!!!

Yes, booked in tomorrow to get the arches rolled - they reckon if 30 wont rub but 35 will they can get between 7-8mm clearance from rolling the arches! So the sage continues my fingers are well and truly crossed mate!!! and if the paint cracks on the edge of the arches they will soft mask the edge and 2 pack paint any damage and it wont show on the quarters.

If i buy 2 more tyres tomorrow!!! will the 285/30/18 stop the catching does 5mm make that much difference? Dont mind it catching if I am booting it but at the moment cant go round corners at more than 15mph!!!

Its a shame I have put on 4 new tyres this morning! Dont think the credit card will take another hammering!

Well today I have finally put my new wheels on the supra, after I had spent the bank holiday weekend colour coding the sills, spats, front spoiler and brake callipers. The wheels are 18" Advans and the fronts are fine no problem however the rears which are on 285/35/18 catch on the arch when you go round corners. What is the answer? The arches have not been rolled out which i believe will help. The car is on standard suspension set-up (j-spec) - what is the solution? Will i need different shocks - or would bump stops help - or roll out the arches? Here are some pics of the wheels (no theres not as the pics exceed forum - how do u fix that then?!?) Thanks

I have done quite a few mileage checks on supras and i have found quite a few have mileage discrepancies - i think its when they are jap spec and the km and miles get changed over etc. HOWEVER a write off - keep well awayyyyy!!! 6.99 well spent me thinks.

Thanks guys, will post pics when all finished Nic, looking very nice mate u wouldnt reckonise them!!! Took lots of prep though (the benefits of owning a garage!!!)

I have today fully restored my 18" Advan wheels (painted and lacquerd) and have also painted the centre caps as the AVS emblems were scratched. Now i need some small stickers to go on the centre caps - i was thinking either SUPRA or something that would look good. I can re-lacquer the caps with the transfers on to make them look good. Now were can i get these from tried e.bay etc. Have you any ideas of what would look nice in the middle?

Yep, Fitted mine a few weeks ago, very pleased put a heat shield around the filter to, well easy.

Have you had both cats taken out of your exhaust or just one? Did you take them out at time of fitting your RSR? Next thing i am changing is the exhaust - today got some Advan 18" to put on - all exciting you know!

Spoke to envy this morning and they told me on the N/A the sensor will light up a warning light on the dash if enough air is not going through - its to let you know your panel filter is blocked. If you change to the induction kit the sensor can be left out and cable tied neatly somewhere and it will make no difference - the warning light will not come on. I had a friend who was going to drill a hole for it but they said dont bother as its not worth the hassle. So chaps the result is - tomoorow i take the stock box out and put in the new filter (i prefer the sound of the induction and have made a heat shield in aluminium so thats why i dont want to leave the stock box in yeSSSSSSSSSSS i have heard all the reasons to leave the panel one in) ANYWAY thanks to everyone on here for your help especially at 2am this morning!!!!!

Well it appears that the plug is an air temp sensor - not an air flow meter - it appears some people just leave it cable tied by the filter (sounds a bit crap - it must be there for some reason). I will ring envy in the morning - really dont want to be drilling big holes in the pipework that i just spent 130 notes on.

Has the car had an engine change - am i stressed now are what!!!!! The engine numbers match - pooooooooooooo:drown:

Sorry Ray for calling you Jay!!!!! Its late u know.

Jay, the car I have is a N/A - it had the HKS kit on it when I bought the car but put the original box back on as everyone said the HKS mushroom was pants. Took the plug out of the HKS and it went into the original air box. Its a black plug that sits in the side of the filter- is this not an air flow meter and if not what is it???? Its there for sure as I took it out of the HKS and put it in the std. air box!! But the car is a j-spec
