Thanks for the replies guys. Muchly appreciated.

Hey Guys I want to get the car resprayed, new body kit fitted and would also like to go BPU. Is there anyone you would recommend to be able to do the whole lot?? Would rather give the car to one person only as it needs to travel from Jersey and could do without the hassle of moving it around. Many thanks.

Anyone risking using the supra in the snow? photos thread!

Took mine to work today and it was one scary drive in. Had to pull away in third gear all the time as it just wouldn't grip. Kept me on the edge of my seat.. -
I also have HKS SSQV. I love the sound from it.

I was thinking of powdercoating the wheels to gunmetal grey also as the white is such a pain to keep clean. This might make things look even better.

Car was imported from Japan in 2007. I have removed the front fog lamps (looked awful) and have installed a brushed aluminium dial dash kit from Thor Racing. I have resprayed the dash to bring the appearance up to date so it is now a nice shade of BMW M3 Gun metal. A set of chrome dial rings finishes it off. I have also had some Veilside rear spats fitted. I have recently purchased a TRD rear wing which will go on when I have the car re-sprayed. I have just purchased a set of 19" Axis Hiros and have had them powdercoated to continue with the white on white look. I entered the car into a local car show recently and it won the 'Best Modified Car' category so I was well chuffed I am slowly moving away from the Veilside look and a new paintjob should really help with the new look. I recently changed the brakes to Brembos. The difference is unreal. I also purchased a set of Tein Monoflex Coilovers to better the handling. The NA-TT conversion was completed on 30 October 2009 and the difference is unreal. It's like having a new car. A Ridox front bumper with carbon splitter was fitted on 28/12/12.

Thanks for the comments guys. It might indeed be a case of putting the TRD on and seeing how it looks. I could do without forking out a load of cash on sideskirts but I must say, The Ridox front bumper has changed the look completely already.

I havent spent much cash on the car over the last couple of years after starting up my own business. After a good profit this year, I decided to start focusing on the Supe again. I bought Cusco front/rear braces and finally got around to fitting my stubby aerial conversion. I also recently bought a Ridox front bumper and carbon splitter and fitted that today. I have a TRD rear wing with a carbon blade to go on but am not sure about the Veilside sideskirts I bought a new set a while ago so could do without having to buy a different set. What do you think???

Don't go for a competition stage 4 clutch on an NA. They are terrible to get off the line and have a tendency to go thru bearings quite quickly. I replaced mine twice. Will never have another.
-
I liked my NA until I dropped the TT lump in it. Completely different car and it puts a smile on my face every day.
-
I am in Jersey so feel free to pop over... Lol...
-
I would be interested in a bumper if it is possible to ship it to Jersey?
-
I was going to get another clutch to try and get away from this problem but was having trouble finding something that would suit my 5 speed manual NA-TT
-
Are these expensive to replace? Also, the problem only seems to be happening with Competition clutches??
-
Thanks guys. I will replace both the release and pilot bearings if need be. The screech is when I am releasing the clutch pedal. It doesnt screech when the foot is off the pedal. As per my original post, do I need a specific bearing for my transmission or are they all the same?
