SPG Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Hi people, I have had my Supra off the road for a good 18months due to work taking over my life and having a 520d which never seems to run outta fuel. The reason I am starting this post is that my journey of getting my supra back on the road is almost at an end and I wondered if anyone else is on the same journey. I have a full set of j-spec calipers which will be donated to such a member also. Thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraDan24 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Homers now getting his Supe back on the road after a couple of years, he's restoring dudes old drag car. I'm not 100% but i'm sure i remember reading something about him having problems with his calipers. Maybe if he reads this he'll be able to clarify.

TTRickeh Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Mine was off the road for a good few months whilst I took the rear subframe/hubs/diff off to change loads of parts. Keep chipping away at it bit by bit you'll get there eventually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPG Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 Well since the Supra has been off the road so long, I decided that I would treat her to a decent rebirth so I am taking her on a trailer from my house in East Lothian to a nice man called Chris Wilson .
