  1. Report says that the driver was rushed to hospital in a 'serious condition' after having to be cut out of the car. Hope he's ok, sadly another supra bites the dust. It looks like a Republic of Ireland registration plate and the car isn't familiar to me, any Irish/Northern Irish members recognise it or know the owner?? Conditions here at that time were good, it wasn't frosty or icy in Belfast even earlier on this morning, and that road is a 30mph limit. http://www.belfastlive.co.uk/news/belfast-news/north-belfast-crash-leaves-fire-12161908
  2. Your car appears on my IG feed every now and again, it's lovely bud Good (and funny) to read an honest story about your journey too
  3. Cheers bud, that's not bad at all

    Wheel. Fitment

    If you're jspec brakes then caliper clearance shouldn't be an issue at all although if you're thinking of upgrading them to uk specs or ls400 calipers it would be something to bear in mind
  5. This made me chuckle [ATTACH=CONFIG]215622[/ATTACH]
  6. Great job I want one as I have no garage. Do you mind me asking what sort of £ you spent on it?
  7. One post every two years and that's ^ what you went with Jon?

    Wheel. Fitment

    If caliper clearance is a problem I have a set of jspecs that I would be willing to swap for 4 pots I'm in donaghadee bud, got any pics of the car??
  9. Before everyone's time Black hairy rat?
  10. Interested, would you be able to take a pic from further back so that I can see the whole sheet please Jay? I want to use it as a backing plate for my rear number plate but it depends on the size of the flat area. Also, can you cut to measure?? Ta

    Hi

    Nice!! storm blue uk spec is a lovely car, health to drive and welcome to the club
  12. I thought they might have been AVS Mike and looked up model 5's but the ones I saw had the spokes coming right out to the edge of the rim, d'oh!
  13. Very nice Jonny although a member since 2007 and this is your first one? That's a looong time looking around for one lol health to drive - I think the wheels might be SSR integrals - maybe not the most 'fashionable' at the minute, but if that's what they are they're very well built and very light.

  16. I've just spent ages looking through the classics section on ebay because of this thread This is cool, something a bit different http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1959-Dodge-Royal-Lancer-Unfinished-Project-2-Door-Hard-Top-V8-Auto-/252597911055?hash=item3ad0023e0f:g:Sq0AAOSwImRYCnD3

    Cam's Supra Build

    Great base car to start with, but looks like you'll take it to the next level - looking forward to seeing how this turns out bud
  18. I thought it was a brilliant episode, there was a lot to live up to given last season's finale and I think it delivered. It was BRUTAL
  19. Fair play to the guy with Parkinsons who cut the speaker brackets for you bear
  20. As above, JDM Distro if you're looking quality/branded used Japanese wheels
  21. I have a set of Muteki nuts (in titanium finish) on mine bud, I've been really impressed with them - the finish/coating seems to be very durable (they look the same now as when they were fitted despite the wheels being off and on quite regularly) and they're steel rather than alloy or aluminium. They weren't particularly cheap though, think they were about £60. Haven't got a fitted pic handy but below is what they are, I should also say that I bought them off a local guy who supplies them, you can buy them on ebay but I read/heard that there were fakes being sold and didn't want to take the chance given that I need them to keep the wheels attached to the car http://www.velocityshop.com/images/products/1316903042-mut-sr48-lug-titan-2.jpg
  22. It's been a long time since I looked for one, but when I bought mine the only person that did a replica with carbon was Paul (at Whifbitz). I bought my whole Ridox kit from him and it was a great fit.
