Marty Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 (edited) Only a few pics of it so far, looking very sorry for itself Getting it done in the same colour as i have a soft spot for red supras Should be done and back with me for next monday, can't wait Had to higher the coilovers right to the top to get it up the ramp of the spray shop, it normally sits far lower than that. Next on the list is a wheel refurb by Speedwells, then a remap up to higher boost (1.6-1.8bar), hoping to see near the 700bhp mark. I'll probably also buy some facelift fronts for it. All done in time for SupraPod, i may even drag it if i'm feeling brave I'll upload some more pics as i get them... And what it was like before... it doesnt look too bad in the pic, but had a lot of stone chips from when i used it back and two to work down the motorway, so it needed doing now it is more of a weekend car.

Marty Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 Not very good quality pictures i'm afraid as only taken off a 6mp camera, pics don't really do it justice to be honest. It doesn't really look vastly different in the pic to the before one, but the difference in the flesh is very obvious, no pink bits anywhere . Here is a few pics how it is at the moment, i've still got to re-attach the front splitter, raise the front slightly, and give the car a good wash, polish, oil and filter change ready for suprapod. I've not had chance to change the colour of the wheels yet, but i have refurbished the lips as the laquer was corroded. I've just been to tax it, now just need to insure it and i'm ready to go, so it's taking shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Damn it! When I buy my Supra I was going to look for black or gun metal grey but now you're making me consider red. Nice car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 Nice one Mart, car looks perfect, want a photoshop of the wheels doing, what coour you going for? Cheers Jay Looks great in the flesh, am very pleased with it. Was thinking of the inner wheels done dark, black probably, if you could manage a photoshop that'd be much appreciated They do look cool in gold in the flesh, so i defo need to see them in other colours to make my mind up for certain Are you going suprapod Jay? Are you meeting up with anyone else on the way down? I'm coming, but from north wales way, so i'll be going down the m56, m6 way, if you're going the same way we could get a convo going I love RED supra's. Me too One of the best colours for a supra IMO especially when its all polished and shiney, car looks great num, a proper track beast Damn it! When I buy my Supra I was going to look for black or gun metal grey but now you're making me consider red. Nice car Defiantly worth considering if you can find one that hasn't faded a tad mate, they look superb clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Black (ish) We'll be going M1 all the way bud, we are planning on leaving Durham @ 5:30am. We havn't got a plan after that it'll just be a case of we get there when we get there. Wait while I look at the map Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I've been speaking to a member about getting mine resprayed as i've got the same problem you had, stone chips, faded paint etc! I've also got a uk front bumper, rust free boot lid and a rear bumper that needs to go on! As far as the facelift lights go, I can fully recommend them...

jevansio Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Just looked mate, by the time we'd meet we'd nearly be on the place , I'd say it'll be more hassle than it's worth, are there no Wales lads heading over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
