Bryan_Jones Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 Ok, so by now most have given up and gone home, but I'm on a mission! Next the HDi front mounted intercooler. Should have been straight forward, but whoever packed it decided to pack 2 wrong hoses! Ok, so now I pissed off! NO TURBO for 3 weeks. Damn! Anyway. Finally get it fitted.

Bryan_Jones Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 So I start to fit the front bumper. Not too back. Some minor work, but effectively goes on no problems: Love the new look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan_Jones Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 Still not happy that I'd finished what I set to do I had some lenses made for my lights as they had faided and turned yellow (typical Supra problem) A while ago I joined in on the group buy, so i decided now that it was time to fit the lenes Ok, so most people just melt the silicone, but mine have obviously be refurbished before and stuck down with something very strong! OUT COMES THE GRINDER! Ok, so if getting the light off was that hard, it's not going to go on easy either. I was right about that for sure! Sikaflex 291 by now is my best friend! Sikaflex if rubbed with a wet finger gives a smooth rubber effect, so no need to paint it afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan_Jones Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 I also went to the trouble of ordering a HID xeon light kit to make my lights extra bright! Then I purchased some clear indicators to fit in my new bumper. Had a new numberplate made up on vinyl too! (totally illegal) Now time to go in the spray shop!............................... AND OUT SHE COMES! ONLY TOOK 6 MONTHS! Now I'm going to be working on fitting a straight through (1 silencer) 3" exhast system in the next few weeks!

michael Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Nice result, shame about the spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NatsupraTT Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Hubby buying me the HID kit for my birthday,also will have the clear indicators. How much was your rear bumper and where from? And the spoiler looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan_Jones Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 Yeah I have plans to get rid of the spoiler. It was on the car when I bought it. Bit too big for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan_Jones Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 Hubby buying me the HID kit for my birthday,also will have the clear indicators. How much was your rear bumper and where from? I bought it off Ebay, but if you see the previous page you'll see why I wouldn't recommend anyone getting one from there! Hours and hours of work went into it to get it to fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lbm Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Well it's probably going to be between the TRD & stock. I prefer the stock one- It's the gentleman's choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STU_3LTR_TT Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Look good with carbon TRD, that would be my choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
