hoff Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I thought it was about time I posted some photos up of the supra now I've made a few little changes. Firstly was the dash. Resprayed a Rover Storm grey and now with el-glow dials from the group buy fitted by G-nemie:) Next up was the wheels. I fancied a change from my 19s and did a deal with P11ddy for his 18" Rota D1's. They look like 17"s due to the design but I think work well with the car. Next up was a new front end. I was debating between Ridox and Do-Luck until JusGav suggest a Stillen. Had a look at some pics and knowing how strong they are bought Petes of him in a shot:) Finally came the seats. Cobra Misano S (couldn't stretch to the leather/carbon ones:(). They are finished in Blackrock centres with Vinal edges (I think. I had a bit of a knightmare with them at 1st. I contacted Cobra who are only a few miles from me. They asked if I could come and have them fitted at the factory following the problems Imi had with the subframes. They said that new subframes are being made to match the Bride pattern and that they would be ready in 3 weeks. However, six weeks later they were finally ready. I went over to get them fitted and guess what...the engineer had only gone and manufactured the old subframes:blink: I heard him getting a right earfull from the manager:D But fair play to the guys in the factory they worked very hard to modify the subframes and it turned out fine:) All that is left to do now is finally fit my OEM spats that I've had laying around for about 18 months and decide weather to fix the blending and crack on one of my side skirts or shell our for replacement Blitz or OEM ones, Sorry for such a long ramble, and sorry for the shocking quality of the pics. Poor lighting, car is a little dirty and it had just rained. But they'll do:rolleyes: Plus the front wheels look a bit squewif:search: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missile Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Looks really nice with the Number plate located back a bit. Have you had any trouble with the Law:angrymod: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xeno Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 In the picture of the dash, there's a light up on top of the dash to the left of the speaker. Do all supra's have that, and what the hell is it. I searched but can find nothing. Dash came out looking great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, I think, is a tracker or something that was on the car in Japan. The other little LED is for the alarm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoff Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 I do miss the other wheels though. Shaunduffy? I think has them now. Look really good, just fancied something a bot differant. I think I'll still with the black on black with the next wheels I get. But I do really like these:) I think I'll put a couple of better pics up of the outside when the weather is better and the car is clean and shiny:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh, the one by the windscreen. My J-Spec has the same, but I never knew what it was. Looked like some kind of shifter light that never worked.

xeno Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Would have never guessed that it was part of the aircon. Good find. Shame I'll never see it lit up though. I was looking forward to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 That bumper looks much better on there than it did on my garage floor. You should've said you were at Cobra, it's literally round the corner from where I work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
