T2 MSW Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Great to see a car of the spec and with the amount of history still in the UK. Best of luck with it Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 Thanks for the kind words guys, with SRD on the case you know the car will be 100% with no corners cut. Lee is very busy at the moment so updates wont be for a while yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooquicktostop Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 (edited) So pleased to see this coming back, I had the wheels off Joe a couple of years ago and it was stood in the same place, a legend of a Supra and one I hope to see tearing up the tarmac very soon Also keen to hear about all the "issues" left by the TF work, not to drag TF through the mill again but I was always curious what was actually required to get it mint again as I know Joe had given up on it, I was very close to making Joe an offer when I picked up the wheels !

JamieP Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 Also keen to hear about all the "issues" left buy the TF work The good thing is all they did was a reshell, we are hoping not much could have gone wrong as its not that hard tbh, everything will be checked though. It seems to go into gear fine now and we are hoping the issue they had with the clutch is a simple adjustment of the peddle box. Main things to be done off the top of my head are:- Overhaul brakes as its been stood for so long Change all fluids/filters/belts/plugs Compression test Check all the wireing and remove the motec harness Re polish all alloy engine dress parts/cam covers/greddy intake etc. Fit new windscreen Fit new aerial New ecu and map Give to stonkin for a full detail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobD Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 More accurate list mate! The good thing is all they did was a reshell, we are hoping not much could have gone wrong as its not that hard tbh, everything will be checked though. It seems to go into gear fine now and we are hoping the issue they had with the clutch is a simple adjustment of the peddle box. Main things to be done off the top of my head are:- Sell wheels to RobD as he needs them in his life Overhaul brakes as its been stood for so long Change all fluids/filters/belts/plugs Compression test Check all the wireing and remove the motec harness Re polish all alloy engine dress parts/cam covers/greddy intake etc. Fit new windscreen Fit new aerial New ecu and map Give to stonkin for a full detail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Great news... Always loved this car and always felt a little sorry for Joe as "back in the days" most people took one look at it and said "it's CJ's car" Wonder if CJ has seen this thread !

Matt H Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Don't you get sick of hearing "where do you get your money"? I thought it was common knowledge that Jamie was blessed with a 12" member and makes a fortune in the porn industry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markssupra Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I remember seeing Joe at a Southend meet many years ago, car looked stunning then, shame it didn't look too good at TF. Nice one Jamie, I'm sure you will bring it back to its former glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
