Yeah it's spring loaded so holds either out quite well, or in, quite well.

It was from Ebay dude, they took a bit of modification but easy enough in the end. Because of the way it works (folds upwards, to clear the intercooler) it has to be flush with the bumper, so the mechanism stands out slightly, a pain, but i didn't want to cover the intercooler with it down, so it will be OK until i find another solution for now. They sell a electric version, or the manual pull out (which mine is) i didn't want to pay the extra for electric when i knew i wouldn't be keeping it forever (with the fit) Some pics of the unit and Jurgens excellent plates: Here you can see the mechanism, it's not SO bad, but not ideal either. The plate folds upwards though to avoid the intercooler as much as possible. You can find them here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151619429770?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

the welded in bung is very ugly though.

Done a few small changes to the car today: I wasn't enjoying the rust on the brake disks, I didn't have chance to paint them before they were fitted and I didn't want the heavy brushed finish on them either which meant spraying (i wasn't too happy about that with over-spray etc either) But enough was enough they were doing my head in so I decided to give them a facelift. I started by masking thoroughly whilst covering the disk faces while making sure what needed to be painted, was. I bagged the callipers and sprayed with some VHT black which drys a nice OEM looking matt black rather than glossy. Poor picture but much better. This is how she stands today, I fitted a folding number plate holder to the front, Im not so happy that you can see the mechanism whilst the plate is hidden away (look closely you'll see it) but for the moment it's the best solution I could find (I'm not too bothered about motorized) and I didn't want to block the inter-cooler. I've found myself worrying about speed bumps more and more after I slightly caught one of the carbon edges of the bumper (underneath, thank god) so i decided to raise the suspention by 10mm on the front and .5 on the rear, above is the new ride height. I saw somebody on the forum had replaced their engine bay bolts with Neochrome ones (without writing) because I've always had the Neochrome wheel nuts i liked this matching idea (sorry for copying ) I also cancelled out my airbag light (no pics needed i think) I wired up my fog lights to Hecklers LED rears I also changed the indicator relay for a LED "friendly" one, thanks Jellybean for that idea. So now the indicators flash at their normal speed. Thanks for looking!

agree with the seller / buyer to cancel the auction after goods have been sent received and you get all the fee's back* *Used to work, not listed anything big on there for years.

I was generalising Most supras are that age. Not this one, but as with all imports who knows what's going on with mileages.

it's still 20 years old though.

Iron X is only for iron deposits and fallout. It turns purple when it dissolves iron and metal, not tar. Are you confusing Iron-X and Tar-x made by same company?
-
Autosmart Tardis is the best for removing that.

The engine has only just been out at Whifbitz? Why did you not change the normal things then? like Seals, oil pumps etc? thought it would be a given if you're putting that much power on an old engine. Surprised Paul agreed to do it?

Just noticed, no logbook though... How do people expect to sell cars with no logbook.

Great price for a widebody TRD replica car, even with the shit wheels, would make a decent base IMO if sombody wanted to create somthing nice from it.

Cheers guys

A boost controller can't lower boost, only raise it. The jspec without a restrictor ring will boost upto 1.6bar on it's own due to the inadequate wastegate. You need a restrictor ring in the exhaust to limit boost to 1.0 bar (with the boost controller turned off) Then you can raise it to 1.2 bar reliably.

They are brand new yes, they were h3 fogs, 9005 hids 9005 for the Hi beam I think I'll check later as I'm a few deep at the pub but I think that's correct.

Bit of a update here with the car. A few people had mentioned that the car might look better with some facelift headlights, i wasn't sure and though that the UK's gave a nice contrast with the colour. But, the tick was in the brain and i did a few photoshop's as to how the car might look along with other cars with a similar colour with facelift. I decided i'd give it a go along with a few other small mods. In the end im glad i did, i think it freshens up the front quite well. Onto some pics: Thanks to Keron for getting me the lights! Fitted some new HID's as the facelifts are different, went for the same 5k's along with super white fogs and hi-beam. I decided to go all LED with the bulbs. I fitted some smoked side repeaters, i thought they looked a bit more special with the dark grey rather than the crystal ones. I masked up the edges to save any damages. While i was doing the front end i fitted my clear front indicators to get rid of the orange in the toyota versions. First light in and gave me a grin Suits the colour well i think? Finishing up. Whilst I was busy doing the lighting upgrade i had a nice delivery from Japan. In preparation i refitted my passenger side airbag (i tried to remove the curls from the edges which is a common issue on them) Paperwork is always nice. You guessed it, been after one of these for a while, a pretty nice one cropped up so i made it mine. Finishes the interior off fine, just the retrim left now! Talking of lighting upgrades i thought the rear of the car could do with some attention: Heckler sorted me out with a set of his double ringed LED conversions from my facelift lights. I have bought a private plate for the car and will be putting some nice Carbon plates on it from Jurgen so next will be pics of those! That's all for now, Thanks for looking
