  1. Off to the photo shoot tomorrow too. Couldn't get the condensation out of the headlights unfortunately so think these will need to either be stripped again, extra sealant or some new lights. Either way the photographer has said that it will be a doddle to sort using software after Slightly cheating but never mind. After the shoot planning to change all of the brake and clutch fluid out as its black as soot and then onto the engine bay detailing, after that its suspension work, then i think a turbo
  2. Fitted the front lip today Was a lot easier than i had originally got into my head. only thing i need to do is buy two small plates to bolt between the lips as the original lip is warped slightly and you can notice it now the new lip is on. Looks ace i think I also found a Japanese coin too! I'm told some Japanese people slip them into new cars when they buy them for good luck......?
  3. Looks like the hair dryer is going for a trip to the garage tomorrow then
  4. Car cover and stands? If not, a breaker or someone similar may loan you a set for a deposit or something?
  5. Hmmm ideally dont wat to take them out again as my bumper is slightly damaged and dont want to make it worse... :-/ Maybe i'll have too though.
  6. What about putting it up on stilts, just as you mentioned its not going to be moved?
  7. Havent posted in a while.... But im having the car professionally shot on Wednesday so should get some really nice pictures to get up. Still a lowly n/a though so im pretty sure there will be no engine bay shots! Also hopefully fitting the tt active lip tomorrow ready for the photo's. Also im still having fogging issues with my front lights. Is there a way i can de-mist them before the shoot?
  8. What did you do with the old alloys? I love the ones you had on it before....
  9. Brill thanks. Ill do that the. :-) hopefully that'll make life easier.
  10. I looked at removing the stock lip. If all the bolts break can I just bolt it back on with regular bolts?
  11. matching front oem. sorry thought id mentioned the headlights not just light!!
  12. Had some trouble fitting the lights back into the Supra today for some reason, they seem to have changed shape Anyway the hairline cracks that were in the plastic have now developed into slightly larger cracks and have also flacked some paint off. Not huge but i know its there and its annoying the hell out of me. Im just wondering if it will be difficult to find a bumper in the right colour or whether getting just the bumper painted would be worth it? Im hoping to get the funds for a full respray in the not too distant future but not sure how long this will be...... Anyway here is a pic of the of the paint code:
  13. Basically had to give up today. Couldn't get the car in the right position to get under it to drill the holes to fit the lip on.
  14. I'm guessing looking at it now I just want to bolt it through the rubber on the lip that's already there.
  15. Yer sorry forgot to post that bit.
  16. I've got a front lip from a turbo supra just the rubber no bracket. How do I fit it. I think I remember seeing it directly bolted to the na rubber. Pics and help would be great :-)
  17. Ive seen people put little filters on them, if thats any help. Although i'm not sure if this is the best course of action....
  18. I did that to mine. Lasted about a month then came back again, think the arm needs replacing?!
  19. Mine does this too :-( coming from the actual arm outside of the car on mine though i think!
  20. There is a kit in the US, ill try and ind the link again, and it is basically the mount, supercharger, gasket head bolts and pipework. I assumed it would jut be the ecu that was needed on top. Im guessing i was wrong! And i love the whine!
  21. I've been looking through lots of different build online and on this forum and i've decided that this looks like the option i like the most. I am basically looking for some advice as to what is needed for the below style setup. What parts other than the supercharger and bracket would i need. I know a piggy ecu will be required and i will need to lower the compression with a metal head gasket but would i use a intercooler or would chargecooling be the best option? Anyway any advice would be great thanks. Also not looking for mega power, would be aiming for around 300hp.
  22. Tbh i would say nearly anything aftermarket unless there are receipts from a good mechanic or the seller was a mechanic or similar.
  23. Its from a truck i think. 4.5ltr
