Guest Budz86 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Not all Supra's have the plugs mate, only some do. It involves wiring it in yourself. There should be a wiring diagram round here somewhere... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danhicks22 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Or speak to Garfy about one of his manual controllers. I did my own manual controller from the diagrams - not too bad really, just a couple of relays and lots of wire (also helped that I bugged Garfy for help a lot) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danhicks22 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 The standard undertray on a car without active spoiler is different to the one on an active spoiler car. I believe the one you need has holes to allow for the movement of those arms. To solve the problem in the first pics, you'll need to get the right undertray or remove your current one. To be honest I can't remember where the side brackets attach - I think it may be to the bumper itself, or, actually, I have a feeling the undertray might be shaped for them to attach to it. It was so long ago I did mine and I did it with the bumper on (which was a nightmare) so the blur of angrily forcing it to fit has clouded my memories of exactly what I did. I'm away from the car from this evening until Sunday evening but I should have time to have a look and see if I can figure it out after work tonight. I'll let you know either tonight or tomorrow.

danhicks22 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Standard bumpers will fit both the spoiler/non-spoiler undertrays fine. Most of the shape is the same, just with a few tweaks to suit the spoiler. When up, the lip fits snuggly behind the bumper, no problem. You should be able to pick one up from someone on the forum. Put a post in the parts wanted section and/or PM Keron - he quite often gets stuff like that in. My car is J-spec and didn't have any of the active spoiler parts - I bought them all separately and retro-fitted them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danhicks22 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Sorry for the late response - been a little busy. I had a look at my car last night and the limited amount I could see confirmed the cut-outs for the more central arms. Sadly I couldn't clearly see the side hinges, but from what I could make out, it certainly looked like they were attached to the undertray. The more I think about it the more familiar it seems - I'm fairly sure the active spoiler undertray has raised sections at the side to attach the lip hinges to.
