When I bought the car I noticed the weatherstrips along the top of the door were damaged on both sides, split vertically above the handle. When I had the windscreen replaced the guy said it would likely have been caused by someone trying to break in to the car! So I fitted replacements which are much better. If anyone has done this job, you will know what a nightmare the screws are to remove, took forever! Also picked up a TRD fuel filler cap:d I had to wait a while longer to sort my cage out as my brother-in-law who was doing the fabrication was off on paternity, but i managed to pester him enough we got it done last weekend. The harness bar was itself was pretty easy, lining up the angles of the back legs was a nightmare, took about 4 attempts but got there in the end. I brought it in a bit before the downward bend to keep it off the rear speaker panels but it actually wasn't really necessary. Really happy how it turned out. After waiting so long to finally get it fitted I didn't want to have to wait for it to get sent for powder coating, so painted it myself, turned out well but scratched f*ck out of it putting it in (idiot) so I will get it powder coated eventually. Had a go at re-covering the rear speaker panels in suede. The first one went well, although the fabric was maybe a bit thin and the spray adhesive seeped through in spots. The 2nd panel was actually broken and had been rivetted together under the old covering, which had came loose, and was overall just not good. I will get a new pair i think, which is annoying as I had made good cuts for the cage legs. Went up to meet Westy yesterday to give him some parts he bought, really nice guy. He grabbed a good shot of the car even in the usual Scottish weather

Received mate thanks

Can't wait to see this finished mate, it's going to be awesome!

Do you have any pictures mate?

I spoke to a guy last year at a show with an R34 GT-R V Spec II, said he picked it up cheap for £28k as the guy he bought it from was strapped for cash. He got it valued a short time later at £47k!

I collected my old front subframe to bring home and strip down the other day. A lot of people didn't get why I decided to replace the entire subframe/suspension on my car, well this is the reason! I didn't think it would be as bad but it was a lucky break i decided to remove it! so if you haven't checked the condition of yours maybe worth a look. A couple of boy racers drew up along side me as i was parking last week and told me my exhaust was hanging off! Turns out one of the bolts had worked loose and came out so it swung down, luckily wasn't touching the ground though. Found the gasket was split as well so replaced that whilst i was at it. I've had my rollcage for a while now so this week wanted to get it in, which meant the interior had to come out again. Pleased that it goes in and my seats still fit, awesome. It is going to need a bit of modification as the feet aren't sitting properly on the floor pan or wheel arches, but that's ok as it's going to get the harness bar fitted on Saturday anyway. I am toying with the idea of modifying my old front anti-roll bar and using it as a harness bar, it's not that far off what i am wanting! recycling and all that:d Whilst the interior was stripped out it was the perfect time to do some sound deadening. I ordered the bulk pack of Silent Coat (40 sheets of 457x287 i think) and it was the perfect amount to do the entire floor pan. It is basically the same as Dynamat but a lot cheaper. Gave the floor pan a thorough cleaning and spent the next two days fitting it (along with 500 paper cuts!). Also got some new speakers for the rear, 3-way 6.5" Pioneers that were ex-display. The suede trim on my rear quarters was really faded by the sun, i mean it had turned from black to green, check out the mark where the seatbelt sits! I had to cut them for the legs of the cage to go through anyway so i stripped the suede off and have ordered some new fabric to re-trim them. I have the old stuff to use as a template so should be easy enough. Last but not least my Fota Hoodlock arrived for the show season.

I have all of the above mate, pm me

I just had my oem skirts painted, and it was £300. Painter said with the amount of prep work he charged next to nothing for the labour. I fitted them myself as well, so £550 for skirts and spats all in, whilst still expensive is probably about right.

Cheers buddy!

Thanks very much Annabella Thanks mate, I just re-read your thread and yeah it is similar! Certain combinations just work well though, rmm lip with oem skirts is timeless. The paintwork on your car puts mine to shame though, I will need to get polishing:D

This week i managed to install my rear diffuser, and to be honest it was a bit of a nightmare. To start with I fixed the center divider to the main body with pop rivets, mainly because i prefer how they look. Next i fitted the side mounts that go where the hockey sticks are mounted. Now, the Shine Auto diffusers have indents as a guide for where to drill, so i drilled there. Turns out they don't correspond to the oem holes at all, flip sakes. Anyway, after two days fething around with them they were mounted, although I am not 100% happy with the fitment, they are as good as they can be. I mainly followed the guide that Westy (I think) shared on here for installation. So the next step was offering the diffuser up and getting the measurements to make the front brackets (i never received any with it). This was probably a blessing though, as i could angle it to clear my exhaust! Also got the holes drilled for the side mounts. So after making up the brackets and painting them and the fasteners black it was ready to install. The installation went smoothly, i always had in my mind that people say if it is installed well it looks awesome but installed badly it ruins the look of the rear of the car! So i took my time to get it right. I decided that I didnt want to mount the rear with brackets like Shine do as i don't like the bolts going sideways through the centre section, they always seem to catch your eye! So i decided to mount it directly to the rear bumper with a rubber washer in between (I think JamieP did it a similar way). I'm really happy with the finished result, it sits well. Lowers the rear of the car nicely to bring it more in line with the skirts.

I have a pair of hubs with the sensors still in them mate, pm me

The A01B is 4.08?

Thanks mate, I actually thought that myself as i fitted it! good job they peel off:d

I managed to fit my oem sideskirts at last, only had them since last September! I love the look of these, car looks much better with the sides the same height as the front. I don’t know if it’s because they are plastic, or because it’s fresh, but the paint seems slightly lighter than the rest of the car. Ah well, it will stay like it is so no point worrying about it. That is the look of the car pretty much how I want it now, the only thing left is the diffuser, which I am 90% sure is not going to fit under my exhaust. The whifbitz has a fairly steep angle and the backbox is hefty! We will see. I got in the car the other day and the warning light was on, after a quick look the brake fluid was low, strange. Anyway topped it up and after driving a few miles it came on again, ah, f*ck sake losing fluid somewhere. Then my brake pedal pretty much went to the floor, not a nice feeling at all. At first thought it might be the master cylinder as i couldn't see any fluid under the car (rain didn't help) but after taking it off for a look it was fine. Finally found the braided hose n/s rear had split. I had a pair of Hel lines and a bottle of dot 5.1 at home so it was an easy enough fix. i have to agree with Chris Wilson's opinion on Hel lines, the fitment is not the best for a Supra, but they will do in the meantime until i get a set of Goodridges. Gave the brakes a good clean whilst I was at it. I received a nice parcel from the states this morning, full of clips and screws for the interior. I got them from lakeland toyota (http://parts.lakelandtoyota.com/) great website, as they have all the drawings and part numbers. I am boycotting my local Toyota dealers as they are useless, and their prices are insane. Most of the time you have to wait 2 weeks for your parts to come so why not just order from the states!

I have been quite busy lately getting on with my job list for the car. I finally got around to sorting the how the rear strut brace sits with the boot carpet, luckily it was a really easy fix, two small slits with a Stanley blade for the mounting points to poke through and that was that! Pleased with how it turned out. Got a windshield banner/sunstrip fitted as well, matt black. Not exactly how i asked for it (i wanted it square along the bottom) but it will do the job. I picked up a TT rear anti-roll bar and got it and the mounts blasted and powder coated, my scabby one was annoying me! Got that fitted when i went back to get the alignment done. I dropped off my sideskirts and wing pillars at the paint shop i have used in the past. I knew the name of the paint was Toyota Dark Grey Pearl but i needed the code for him, which after quite a bit on google managed to find (1E0) and was surprised it is an Aygo colour bahaha! There was about 8 variations that all looked the same to me so let him match it to the car. The painter didn't want to be fething about with 20 year old 2nd hand sideskirts but did it as a favour for me. Now he is a grumpy guy at the best of times but he was raging by the time i collected them! 2 days of prep work before they were right to paint! Anyway, they look brilliant. Managed to get the wing mounted today and hopefully the skirts will go on tomorrow

There was a guy from Germany on the facebook page selling a set for €400, could save you postage and import charges from the states

That's everthing now sold.

Armrests provisionally sold pending payment Carpet sold £200 for the seats with the mats thrown in for free.

Pm'd you bud Hiya mate, if Harry doesn't want them mate then you have 2nd dibbs. Would you still want the carpet? I can post that if you want.

For sale I have re-trimmed seats, mats, boot carpet and stock armrests from my car. These came with my car when i bought it, and were originally from the gold rush Supra. Only reason for selling is i have bought fitted carbon bucket seats to my car and went for an all black interior. Front seats are OEM, re-trimmed in black leather with orange piping. Driver seat is electric, and front to back works perfectly as I replaced the nylon gear myself (will also include a spare gear in case it ever wears out again). Condition is good but driver side showing some wear. Boot Carpet is black trimmed with orange, and a Supra logo in the middle. Mats are also black trimmed with orange, the rear mats go right under the seats and have cut outs for the bolts, driver heelpad is a little worn. Armrests are stock, in good condition. I bought these with the intention to fit to my car but never got around to it. Collection is preferred due to the size and cost of posting seats, I am a half hour from Carlisle or an hour from Glasgow/Edinburgh/Newcastle I also have matching rear bench seat which is in perfect condition as it is never used, but i would need a good stock one in return for that. *Updated* Armrests provisionally sold Carpet sold Looking for £200 for the seats with the mats thrown in for free. Cheers, Cam

A little bit of progress has been made over the past week. The seat brackets I got from the states had a pretty horrible driving position, way too high. In fact they sat so high that when folding them forward to access the back they hit the headliner! Anyway, my brother in law is a welder-fabricator so we spent last Saturday afternoon cutting them up and welding them back together. We took roughly 35mm off the height, and the seating position is perfect now, really pleased. Once they were back in I couldn’t resist test fitting the harnesses, they are awesome! Went a trip down near Bristol on Sunday to pick up a Shine Auto diffuser from Jody, really looking forward to fitting this although it didn’t come with brackets or fasteners so I will have make them. It doesn't look it in the picture but it is carbon. Also got done speeding in my Audi down there, flip sakes! I got in the car the other morning and after pulling away I heard a horrible noise coming from underneath! Ah flip sakes, I honestly though 1st gear had exploded, but after pulling over and having a look turns out my expansion tank had decided to fall off and was dragging under the wheel! No harm done then, but I thought it was a good excuse to order a shiny SRD boy. Really happy with how this looks. Also got bonnet lifters from Whifbitz i fitted today. When i went to get the wheels aligned the guy couldn't get the back wheels within the limits on camber. Now the only non-Supra part on the car since getting all the suspension, subframes and steering renewed are the rear lower control arms, which are from a soarer. Turns out although they look the same they are slightly longer! Jeez Louise it feels like a never ending saga now! So i told him no problem i will refurbish my old ones and we can change them back. So today i took them off my old subframe and they are fugged, the ball joints are shot. There is no way I am putting them back on so i am going to have to bite the bullet and order new ones, which is annoying as they are not cheap at all. Also I ordered new droplinks for the back, so hopefully by next weekend they should be changed out and my wheels bloody aligned! lol.

No I didn't have to, they fit over the top no problem. Awesome mate, that will put down some serious power! Thanks Jake, it was a mess! Good to get these things sorted properly. My mate said the same thing, but i guess a Supra without a spoiler is a Marmite kind of thing, you either love it or hate it! Thanks mate, hopefully get to blether next time!
