Still alive and well - Clackmannanshire

I am an auto ac specialist, to keep it simple lads. Thickest air con pipe should be freezing/cold to touch Thinner pipe should be warm/ hot to touch When you push the ac button you should hear a clunk, this is the compressor clutch engaging. This should spin when this happens if this isn’t moving then there is an issue with the compressor. When idle you should be able to turn this clutch, if not I’m afraid the compressor clutch has seized and it’s time for a new compressor.. If anyone needs any help regarding this, send me a message!

I may have one will check tomorrow.

Nowhere near the see, I’m central to the city! Discs are off now and not had any hassle since. If that is the case and I fitted them wrong, don’t fit them the same rotation as I did then

As per my previous post.. Thought I would opt for the slightly dearer brand EBC over OEM I cant recommend this. I learned the hard way, After a year of road use ( No track ) these discs ended up very badly pitted and worn. Being a mechanic for many years I've never seen disc wear occur this fast on a set of discs. I've seen cars with 25K plus miles on a set of discs and have better life than these! So just to advise if you are ever going for a set of pads and disks, Get confused by all the choices if you are just using your Supra for the road, OEM is always the best way. What a better quality brake life I have had with the Toyota parts.

So where do we go from here? Disks and pads. Thought id splash out and get EBC brakes. I opted for the drilled and vented disks with red stuff pads. Looks good however we will see how they look in a years time.. Also went ahead and fitted HEL brake hoses too just to renew the old brake hoses than can collapse over time.

Before these get took off I had to refurbish the old calipers, They weren't too bad however I wanted them looking as new as possible.

So here is the old smaller Jspec brakes..

So what else has been done? Like everyone else with JSpec brakes you will never be happy with them nor was I.. So they also had to go I managed to get hold of a set of the much larger calipers for a good price and gave them a refurb before fitting them. Hope you enjoy the new upgrade!

As you can see from my previous posts I managed to get all the black paint off the spark plug cover, However it was still pretty dull and wasnt happy with it. It was time for a major overhaul! Upon having my timing belt and water belt changed I also went a bit OTT with the engine bay. Under the spark plug cover it was showing its age. Wiring loom and plugs were pretty brittle. These were all renewed and tidied up along with new cam cover seals and nuts and bolts. Cam covers were sent off and powder coated, To finish it off one nice new spark plug cover all the way from Japan Also a few parts that have been changed which might be noticed in the pics are, Whifbitz turbo hoses to renew the old oem hoses that tend to collapse over the years and who cant notice the new shiney TRD strut brace

Ohh my this hasn't had an update in a while has it.. I would like to say that i've got my supra finished but a supra is never finished.. is it? I'll have plenty of pics uploaded of whats been renewed and upgraded

Are these still available?

Do you still have the suspension bolts for sale? Message me if you do.

Anyone got a set of OEM skirts they'd like to swap for my OEM bumper? Must be genuine
