  1. Next thing I did was clean all the inside before adding back the full interior, a stereo and speakers, bit of sound deadening along with some soft rewiring. Your probably notice the before and after pics.
  2. After sorting the brake fluid changes brakes felt much better than they did, also bent back the jacking points worst spots. Then took her to silverstone for a few laps on April 2017. Only got a few short videos.
  3. Next thing I thought to do when home was bead blast the horrid black nt-03 alloys, refresh the brake fluids and change the diff oil + gearbox oil. Then give her another good polish.
  4. So it’s March 2017 and these are the first photos I got of the supra, thought I should start from the beginning. Alex the previous owner sent her on the trailer I booked, down to srd to have a mot test, and full check over. Srd did the vehicle checks and all passed, then a pre mot check was done, it needed a few bits, so they wired in a fog light, done a full geo setup, replaced a spilt vac hose, secured rear battery, changed engine oil and filter as I requested, and fixed the non working horn wire. It failed the mot, Rose track joints had play and abs light was on. So srd checked this and the abs light wasn’t plugged in so plugged that in and put new rose track joints on and she passed. Minor advisories were for jacking point damage, the usual bent jacking points, and a second advisory for a slightly binding brake calliper. Quick few pics a friend took on my journey home from srd. On my way home I noticed it was holding back and backfiring at 4K revs was a bit confused by that. Seems that after going through every possible scenario, including the Syvecs ecu, it was a faulty fuel pump so got a new walbro 450 in there and ran perfect. Gave her a good well deserved clean up after that.
  5. It won’t be brake discs! Never ever heard or seen that before
  6. Have you contacted and asked James about this? As he was the one that did all the work, he is the one to help you out mate
  7. Not sure who was selling the Brian crower cam gears but looking for those or something similar. Many thanks
  8. Agree with £50 for rear spoiler. Paid £30 for mine when I got it. Great condition
  9. Can that not be fixed with calibration?
  10. Exactly didn’t like any others out there, textured and not oem looking so made sure mine were as best as can be really.
  11. I’ll post up final prints when done dude.
  12. Anything mate. I’ve customised mine so can be done for anything.
  13. Hence why I wouldn’t do conversions myself. I will finish off my faces then send the cluster and faces to be fitted and calibrated properly. Loads of people offer complete conversions but I’m not insured if the dash sets on fire or what not.
  14. Cheers mate. They are made from thin plastic with scratch resistant top layer trying to mimic oem grade, will need calibration though so I have to send off somewhere for that, probably to cluster repairs uk.
  15. Thanks Crossy. That’s exactly the look I went for! Nothing over the top, just nice and tidy !
  16. They look really good don’t they! Wanted to see what others thought too. Thanks for the feedback pal
  17. Got some gauges made up. Let me know what you think of them. Thanks
  18. Ohhhh I could see potential for a new cost effective Gearbox rebuilder here! Looks great. Keep us updated!
