Will bride seats fit factory recaro rails ?

That looks absolutely stunning (exterior wise)... I love the TS bonnet w/do luck front.. And the blue brakes...:)
-
my vote goes for the trial- but then I like "chav" (or so I am told) style C-West tinted rear light covers as well so what do I know http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=108755&stc=1&d=1272200119

Thanks! - The bonnet is a top secret carbon fibre knock off from china- good fit though and comes with standard latches so don't need bonnet pins- although the latches needed a little work to get it to close easily- nothing an hour or so with a die grinder and some patience didnt fix though.. and it doesnt have the extra vent above the turbos which I feel makes it look off balance anyways- cheap as chips too really for a CF bonnet..

Thanks for the feedback, and , yes, unfortunately that licence plate will restrict airflow quite considerably. Am contemplating getting new plates- maybe something like: "CHAV" or "YUBJLS4" lol... no srs I have to sort something out in that area because it is far too bg- but i dont track the car so shouldn't be too much of a problem...that said I have extended the fibreglass on the bumper to fit the intercooler perfectly (it has a rubber lip that presses against the cooler to ensure every last drop of air from the 'mouth' of the bumper travels through the cooler) so it should be ok- the air should merely be deflected from the numberplate and onto the cooler anyways..
-
Well if thats chav so be it- I is a chav. how' bout 'at 'en 'A' lads? Lol... the funny thing is I was always intending to do this exact setup but with a do-luck front... kinda glad I didnt now tbh.. Thing is I can understand 'purists' whining about modifying a lambo or ferrari etc but to be dismayed at someone modifying a japanese import car (within reason) confuses me- I mean the japanese import scene has been developed and pushed forward by the car owners modifying their cars.. the whole industry is based around this but people will turn their noses up when someone does something that isn't to their exact tastes... "you can have any flavour you like as long as its vanilla johnny"...
-
Of course I am open to comments- just pointing out that pple can call it good bad or absolute sh*te. flame away as far as I am concerned- doesn't bother me at all as I am very happy with it.. and quite proud of it tbh.. But the more comments the merrier as far as am concerned- good or bad I will take them on board- fortunately though I am not one of the 'purists' and sincerely believe that these cars are at their best when modified (or not) to each persons taste - well within reason I have seen some shocking examples that should be put out of their misery..(lest we all drive around in exactly the same car- ooh that wuld be exciting)... Maybe I should really chav it up with neon lights n stuff..lol- not likely..

hehe -there is not one chip on that paintwork anywhere now (and on that note the solid black is the easiest colour in the world to remove chips from- I cant believe how well they come out after it being done right). The paint on this is absolutely flawless- has taken a lot of TLC from the previous owner and myself to get there. And I can appreciate not many people like the veilside kits but I do- and to me thats all that matters. I do like the stock US supra look also but I have always wanted this exact setup and now I have it. Maybe one day i will swap the front for a do-luck but TBH now I have this on there I like it more.. Thanks, much appreciated. It has taken a good 40+ hours to get this all lined up and to fit as close to perfect as I can get- but thats the point for me- to do it myself and be happy with what I have achieved..
-
No comments? I thought I would have at least got a "veilside looks pants"... Bear in mind I have done everything myself except spray the colour on the kit- from prep to fitting the kit & fitting the coolers and everything else...(and there was soo much prep and fitting- bloody ebay kits suck bigtime- guess you get what you pay for..)

Just finished putting my new bodykit (veilside copy front and side skirts with trial rear bar and carbon top secret style bonnet) after getting it back from painters (see attached images of my black supra). Also had my engine cover painted, fitted my tow hitch, intrcooler, twin blow off valves, oil cooler and filter relocate, trd speedo, P/S cooler, do luck rear tension set, c-west light covers etc Still have a lot to do but its getting there slowly.. http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=108748&stc=1&d=1272200119 http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=108749&stc=1&d=1272200119 http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=108750&stc=1&d=1272200119 http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=108751&stc=1&d=1272200119 http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=108752&d=1272194627 http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=108753&stc=1&d=1272200119 http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=108754&stc=1&d=1272200119 http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=108755&stc=1&d=1272200119 http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=108756&stc=1&d=1272200119 Also did a mini photochop on my old silver supra which i have now sold- I think it turned out ok for a quick job. ( I have seen these done on SF so decided to give it a go- I think they look cool)... http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=108757&stc=1&d=1272194696 also mini photo-chopped my new supra- another very quick and rough job but you get the idea: http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=108758&stc=1&d=1272195342

Mine does 295 RWHP on a dyno dynamics dyno in shootout mode (which is very conservative as far as dyno's go) with .9 bar boost with not really any mods other than the exhaust - which equates to about 380 FWHP doesnt it? surely these with an aftermarket ecu , injectors etc and pulling 1.5- 1.6 bar would make more than that eh? if not it is gonna be single for me.. I would have been thinking these would pull at least 380 RWHP or maybe a little more with correct tuning etc... hmm... looks like I better keep pricing single setups then
-
Im guessing 450bhp with the 360 dgree bearings etc would be achievable but i dont know hence me asking the questions... The yanks are quoting 550 out of the USDm ones but by the time you tank into account their generous dyno figures I reckon closer to the 450.. whic would be perfect for me.. :)

Anyone used or is using the speed for sale jspec hybrids? https://www.speedforsale.com/supraparts/speed-sale-gt28-style-hybrid-stock-twin-turbo-upgrade-p-635.html?osCsid=ht2uopo7jfgshobmef2ud78c35 What sort of power do you think these would be capable of achieving- I am guessing maybe 420-450bhp easily and possibly even pushing 480+ at 20+ psi? Seriously looking at these as I would prefer to keep my TT setup and just use a piggyback with uprated pump/ injectors etc.. Plus I have a spare set of jspecs I could send away as the exchange turbo's... opinons welcome and wanted!

If I get an apexi safc2 + rev/speed meter + avcr do I need seperate FCD?
jihwaan replied to jihwaan's topic in Supra Chat
cheers. I have a hks FCD sitting here (I know its not the best FCD but I have it now so it is going to have to do the job).. -
Looking at getting a full set of apexi safc2 + rev/speed meter + avcr and wondering do I need seperate Fuel Cut Defender? I am only bpu but want to get the most out of it and push the full 1.2 bar with a larger set of injectors and a bit of tuning (and maybe push it too its limits- I have a good condition set of jspec turbos in case I kill these ones).. and while I am asking questions is the safc neo better than the safc2 and is it worth getting an apexi ITC as well?

spotted this for sale- thought someone might be interested as they dont come up very often in s2. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/TRD-320km-Speedo-Supra-96-5-02-JZA80-series-2-Dash_W0QQitemZ230463269535QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Car_Parts_Accessories?hash=item35a8ae6a9f

I heard the same thing myself. My advice - find another one- there is no shortage of nice supra's coming out of japan atm.... Contact Jurgen from JM Imports. He is the man to buy supra's in Japan and has an infalible reputation.

well if it makes u feel any better I just went down to the shed where my other car has been sitting for a few months while I gather funds to finish a few things and found out it is now sitting on its axles minus a brand new set of 18" wheels and tyres - needless to say I am p*ssed but the dumb shits left $6k worth of brakes and a brand new $2k engine management computer (the car isnt locked and the computer is sitting on the seat). there are some right b*stards out there that is for sure.

nengun are awesome. very very good service. got some stuff from them just last week. It was delayed form the manufacturer and they kept me up to date the whole way through the process, responded to all my questions in a very timely manner. AAA+

You can only buy Toyota headlights- but remember you need series 2 headlights (the arrangment is different) . you can refurbish them yourself and add angel eyes etc. Just search the forum for headlight refurb- there is a guide somewhere. Hope this helps. Tail lights its the same but you can have L.E.D. light clusters made (quite a few $$$), you can do stuff like buy 4 sets of taillights and use the clear reverse light lense from all four sets and make up clear tail lights (you will have to use correctly coloured L.E.D.'s etc) or you can buy covers from MVP motorsports that are tinted. Just search the forum and do some reading.
