miko_supra Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Looks good. primer-base-clear? Just laid on a colour coat as the damage hadn't gone down to the primer, and I didn't bother with the clear coat as its optional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Just weighed the stock battery- 15kg. Anyone know where the best place to get light weight batteries from is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csa Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Isn't the Braile carbon one the lightest on the market? http://braillebattery.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 Isn't the Braile carbon one the lightest on the market? http://braillebattery.com/ Fook, I just had a look at there website. Very easy to use. But $2000 for one I just checked out! Got some ones at around 9lb in weight for £100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miko_supra Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 come on mike wheres the updates? Eugh i've had the flu and the crappy weather hasnt helped. Managed to do some work on the car today but it was only fault finding (turns out I need some new spark plugs.) Should get my FMIC properly mounted tomorrow and get my new brake lines installed.

miko_supra Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 Right, got the FMIC all properly lined up and bolted on. I took the some of the a/c system off, the fan and heat exchanger, which saved me 5kg in total. New greddy front lip lined up and holes drilled.

SimonT Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 That lip is lovely i must say!! Was it a pain to fit at all and where did you get it from just out of interest?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 That lip is lovely i must say!! Was it a pain to fit at all and where did you get it from just out of interest?? It wasn't too bad to fit. It just fits where the stock plastic lip does. I bought it from carmadstylings on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathmonkey Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Oh god. Another black Supra with that lip - I am so unbelievably tempted to ditch the active spoiler, get that lip, a FMIC and a black respray. I need to stop looking at this thread!! Great work mate.

Without sounding like an idiot, i'm guessing you remove the stock plastic lip and that lip takes its place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miko_supra Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 Are you going to mesh the vents/holes? Think of the extra weight! Nah I'll probably get round to meshing them one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
