  7. Where did you mount the lower intercooler brackets to? The frame running underneath the rad?
  8. Thanks man. The worst part is lugging the parts and my tools in lift and through the car park lol just glad no one is in the spaces next to me
  9. Wheels for sale. Made by “league” possibly. That’s what’s on the centre cap. Wheels are curbed and need a refurb. Fronts are 19x8 et40 Tears are 19x9.5 et25 Come with tyres but Most or all need replacing so the sale is for the wheels really with some crap tyres 1x Michelin pilot super sport 1x Avon 2x kumho Personally I think they could be nice wheels after a refurb but I have no use for them. £200 collected from north London Alexandra palace area N8
  10. Thanks guys. I’ll be getting one ordered then. Does it come with an undertray?
  11. Has anyone fitted the ridox front bumper from Whifbitz? Just wandered what the fit is like. I’m guessing it will be decent just wandered if anyone has fitted it and if it needs much alterations Cheers
  12. Wheels arrived at 8 o’clock this morning! Thanks Paul!
  13. Dosent sound right. I used to paint toyotas on the production line at derby and there was only one white. 040. If there’s a different shade it should have a different paint code. All the paints are mixed with Correct portions of other colours to make the paint code. Hence why you can go to somewhere like Halfords and give them your paint code so they can mix it up to give you a rattle can or can of paint. Maybe they had a shit mix or just some random whites knocking around
  14. Has anyone got the manual or a link to the manual for this boost controller. I’m not sure f it’s a 5 or 6 version
  15. Just unwrapped the new whiteline rear ARB and cleaned up the brackets
  16. Yh I loved BPU on my old TT auto but after I went BPU running at LO 1bar and on occasion HI 1.2 bar the oil seal went in one or both of my turbos relatively quickly. I know it doesn’t happen to everyone but that’s why I’m going to run a lower a boost on this one. Keep them going as long as possible
  17. No huge plans. Just trying to get it to nice safe standard and clean it up. Want a really nice base. Keep BPU and just run it at 0.8/0.9 boost and keep the turbos going as long as possible. I was going to get an OEM front bumper but now I think ridox. Just want to get it mint to be honest. New rad Coolant pipes Under seal Going to clean up and paint all the suspension arms Check bushes Replace coilovers Replace the blitz intercooler with a smaller one. Thinks at 4 row more suited to a big single Get the seats and steering wheel retrimmed Once it’s a nice standard I’ll look at tarting it up abit. Bit of paint correction here and there TRD spoiler. Polish up some engine parts and some carbon but that’s a long way down the line
  18. I think the previous owner had a hard time because he tries to sell a couple of years ago and I think he was hiding the fact things were wrong with it. Plus he didn’t come across well reading the posts I found. But that’s in the past. I knew it needed some tlc which is what I was after and it gave me a bargaining chip so I’m happy. I’ve probably sunk £3k ish in it so far but that’s just made up the asking price he was selling for and potentially this could well be a £30k car in 5 years seeing how the prices are now. So if I do it well it’s worth the effort
  19. Well I’m back in a Supra for the 3rd time! Having owned a TT auto and a NA manual I desperately wanted another Supra. I spotted this for sale 2 weeks ago and went to view it. Done some research and it and the owner had had a bad time on the forum but I went for a look anyway snapped it up. It was listed for £18k and managed to get for afew grand less which at the end of the day was a bargain for what it is and the prices now! Any here it is. 98 twin turbo VVTi v161 a03b LSD with afew option extras, The knee pad things, carbon steering wheel, number plate garnish, confetti recaros, big brakes etc and personalised plate This car is/was by no means perfect but it obviously has a lot of good things going for it and the body work is pretty good Nic which seems to be the biggest problem I’ve been seeing when looking for supras now. The main things wrong with the car seemed to be mainly cosmetic but i haven’t driven her yet apart from the drive from Manchester to London after I bought her. On the ride home the second turbo seemed intermittent which was worrying but I’ve solved this problem and it’s running sweet now. So I’ve had it 2 weeks and feel like I’ve done a lot already!! And spend a lot at Whifbitz. A big thanks to Whifbitz and Paul for their fast delivery and to paul for sorting out a Saturday delivery for me tomorow with a new set of wheels! Ok so a list so jobs I’ve so far; Replaced all vac hoses in the engine and checked the correct layout etc Replaced the VSVs Removed the old alarm, boost gauge, turbo timer, replaced the head unit, removed a shit ton of random wiring behind the dash Removed the air horn! Fitted the original battery clamp Checked all fluids Fitted facelift headlights which I snapped up on eBay for £150 each! Although advertised as BPU it still had the first cat in place and no evidence of FCD or plug change or fuel pump. So replaced the entire exhaust, decats etc with a Whifbitz twin box and double decat and restrictor ring Spark plugs and fuel gettin done tomorow and a Chris Wilson FCD next week Alpine head unit fitted and wired in correctly, all soldered and heat shrank as it was just twisted and taped up before. Got the stock aerial working! Wasn’t wired up right! Replaced boot rubbers Adjusted the handbrake Removed the Chinese HIDS and replaced with Osram night breakers Replaced the HKS filter foam Made and fitted a blank under the radio and mounted the HKS boost controller and a couple of switches for fog light and a spare for the future Repaired the boost controller because it decided to stop working! Repaired the recaro seat Fitted Veilside gear knob and replace the leather gaitors And probly other things. Anyway I’m slowing working through my list. I need to replaced the discs and pads and give the brakes a good bleed because they feel a bit spongy and the ABS pump seems abit intermittent. Get a light and sounds horrible occasionally so I got a second replacement from Japan! Tomorow will be fitting new rota GTR-Ds and falken tyres and a new white line ARB and drop links to the rear as it has got one fitted! But the thing I want most is a bumper! I really don’t like the doluck!
  20. I put mine in behind where the 2nd cat would be, at start of the cat back. Only because I googled it some time ago and what I read seemed logical but I can’t remember why ^ lol But I’ve put it there on 2 cars now and both ran fine
  21. Sorry mate. Let me check my messages
