  1. Cool beans, will give em a go
  2. Made a bit more progress on the interior today. My friend re-trimmed the door arm rests in Suede, whilst I repaired some of the red paint and re-painted some of the plastics black... Before, Arm Rest wrapped, All Done, Really chuffed with how they came out. Still more to do but all getting there slowly
  3. Brakes are 4 Pot Lexus Calipers up front with standard JDM rears. Will be looking at Performance Friction Z rated pads all round if possible (or a similar compound), AP Racing fluid and Braided lines. Front Rotors are slotted but unsure of the make, will source a matching set of rears too from somewhere if I can...
  4. Good call, seen a few quicker cars hit Curborough to be honest, i don't think its too bad. would be more fun on a circuit though..,
  5. I will be once I can spend on it lol I have considered this, just got to price it up. Brakes require some attention so thats pulling my money at the moment
  6. Been thinking of some new wheels... I like the Rays TE37's but the design is becoming a little too common imo. I do like the Rays 57D, decided a test fit would confirm my decision so I know how much i have to save  Turns out we had a spare wheel on the shelf at work, 18x9.5" ET22 and weighing in at 8.2kg. Rear fitment is spot on with the 10mm spacers and still plenty of room, Front fitment with the same wheel sticks out a couple of inch so would need to go for a staggered fitment with a higher offset on the front, Black on White looks to be a good colour combo, just have to do my reaserch on the front offset and then get saving...
  7. Auto shift lock ftw! Lol. Thanks for that
  8. Cool, will have a play on my way to work lol. They go bang? :-/
  9. Thanks guys, will take it out for a play next track session
  10. Thanks dude. What are you using to refurbish them? Had a look around but see folk saying its not brilliant or a permanent fix...
  11. Cool, Thanks for the replies. Our local track is actually Curborough, so will be an interesting drive with the new figure of 8 layout Just need to figure out how the Manu works now lol
  12. I attend some Trackdays run by a few mates at our local sprint track and occasionaly to other circuits every so often. So i was wondering how folk are getting on with an Auto on track? This is my first Supra so being an auto too, i'm curious. Its probably not as much fun as a manual but wondering about guys that have done/do it in theirs?
  13. Thanks dude I hope so, been quoted about £300 to get the dash and doors flocked
  14. More Paint stripping, feels like I have loads left to do..... Started getting more off, http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/16/epasy8e4.jpg Jet wash did a good job, was the only safe option I could think of without damaging the paint on some of the plastics, http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/16/yta9uhu6.jpg Finished 1x lot, still more to do mind, http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/16/5yryjede.jpg
  15. Looks Mint, had a silent hi power on my mx5, really nice shiny bit of kit
  16. Correct, i had looked into the B8's but they do not have them for the Supra... I have been debating Polybushes, still in 2 minds as to weather i can be bothered to do them if they don't need it. I did the entire set on my old MX5, not a job i wish to do any time soon!
  17. I can get them direct from Bilstein from my work, just wondered if anyone had any feedback as i may invest in a set
  18. Hi all, Is anyone using the Bilstein B6 dampers on their car? Just wondering what the opinions on them are? My car is currently running the OE setup with 18" wheels but i will be looking at stiffening things up with Lowering Springs, Thicker sway-bars and Polybushes etc There may be a similar priced coil-over kit about but i am not really looking for a huge drop, just a function fitment without the body roll...!
  19. I had debated the glove boxes but not sure if it will look any good imo. Steering column is on the to do list for sure
  20. I'm sure it has, just not sure when lol I wasn't at first but its growing on me... Or i'm just accepting that it will be too bigger job to remove lol Thanks dude, still got little bits to do here and there though. Just had a crack at re-trimming the centre arm rest; Bit of spray glue and Job done!
  21. Dash is starting to look better now, still a lot left to sort out, but generally looking better imo,
  22. Well if anyone is about Sunday, I'm heading over to Curborough to spectate lol
  23. Thanks dude, will have to head over to the next meet when ever it is lol
