My plans this year for the Supra are.

UK Front end with Carbon lip

Fit new head unit and i pod unit

Tidy up some bodywork

Set up suspension, maybe some nice shiny new stuff

Get Stem seals replaced

New seats

I've got loads to do but whether it all gets done this year is another story!

 

List so far...

 

1. Get my engine fully built up again as it's in bits, it'll have completely new gaskets and seals from the head gasket up!

2. Get the rest of the bits needed to fit the engine, I've bought some hybrids for it but still need intercooler pipes for my FMIC, TT igniter, PAS pump and engine loom.

3. Finally get the engine installed

4. New wheels

5. Source bits to fit my R154 box

6. Buy and fit a full ridox kit with either a TRD wing or APR wing

7. Buy new headlamps as mine are pretty crap now

8. After the gearbox is in go full BPU with a piggy back ecu ( plan on running TTC)

9. Fit a rear diffuser

10. Update the interior, bucket fronts and dash modernised

11. Update my sound system, quite fancy a sat nav head unit!

12. Bling the engine bay, not OTT but the cam covers, inlet plenum etc!

13. And finally upgrade the rear brakes to uk spec, maybe some k-sport fronts ( undecided yet), also may change the coilovers as the teins are really unforgiving at times!

:p I really fancy the Vortex 19" No one likes them! :p I have honestly never liked the bonnet, It looked good in photos before they sprayed it :D

 

It wasn't that when I was saying I didn't like it and you were trying to sell the concept of how good it looked though :p

 

The Vortex R do look good on a Supra. Be sure to get a decent offset and width though :)

I need to have a think about exactly when I'm going to do these mods as I want the car in tip-top shape for the summer but the plan is something like:

 

ASAP:

Surrey rolling road trip with Ryan to see how the new turbo compares to the old 67DBB

Get rear arches rolled

Sort out my rear wheel setup to get the 315/35/17 tyres on for better dry traction

Fit the Alcon six pot monoblock front brakes and four pot monoblock rears

Corner weighting and full geo again

 

That may be all I get time for in the next month or two!

 

To follow:

Battery relocation and fit the Greddy plenum and Q45 throttle

Surrey rolling road trip with Ryan for final mapping

 

Longer term:

Consider a cam change

Budget for a better clutch as the 315 tyres and 590lb.ft torque will take their toll eventually :D

Consider building up a spare longblock for peace of mind
