Sod the spoiler, someones nicked ya front wing!

 

Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

I've never seen a small spoiler like that before. Looks like the standard type but smaller.

Wonder if the car came without the original spoiler or if someone didn't like the large one...

 

Last time I was there, Japvillage had a couple knocking around

no wonder you dont like your spoiler it looks weird. i am sure there must be loads on here with aftermarket trd spoilers who still have a stock spoiler for sale.

nice work area out of the british weather and you got something to do over winter. the bonnet looks well how much was it and where you get it from?

looking good

 

keep us posted with more pics of work in progress.and do you have any better pics of your bonnet.

 

have fun

bonnets a sore point , bought it of ebay in the usa (£200) got a quote of £180 + duty to ship it , got my measurements wrong and got a bill for £430 shipping and duty and it was slightly damaged in transit , what sort of pics do you want i'll take some more . just ordered the intercooler today and the pipework , think im gonna throw the fan and coupling away and go for a couple of pacet electric fans , that way i can take the turbo outlet pipe straight down and not thru the inner wing , also gonna fit twin auto box coolers , one in each corner , hoping the nose cone will be here soon , should have it all back together by the weekend .

havent looked into converters yet they are a bit of a black art , the stall depends on a lot of diff. factors , weight how much and how an engine makes power get it wrong and it will sound like you are driving round with a slippy clutch , in the usa they do something called a 'switchpitch' converter that only has the characteristics of hi-stall when you arm a switch but i dont know if it will take the power , im getting some yank mags soon and will look into shift kits etc . By the way if anyone hears of one i need a rad or if any one knows of a bigger one that will fit (i can get mine cored but not for another month,no-one makes replacment cores yet but found a firm thats tooling up ) Mark like i said a 10 inch converter for a th400 is about $300 up for our cars they start at £700 so with some looking i may find some better priced ones . got to go to work now will take some more pics of the bonnet today .

Hmmm ..... rear spoiler height.........interesting subject young Jedi !!

 

When we were spending our weekends at JIC, myself and Emma noticed that there seemed to be a difference in the height of some of the stock looking spoilers.

 

If i remember rightly the fact that a car was an aerotop had a bearing on things. I wonder if Toyota fitted a slightly lower spoiler to aerotops for some reason. Or maybe there are more Supra's out there with non OEM spoilers than we think.
