ripped_fear Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 Good job! Forgive me if this has already been covered but did you use any kind of special paint for the intake like high temp or is it just regular paint? It has been painted in normal paint out the gun, same as they would use on the car its self. iirc its water based that been used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would mate, wanted the wifbitz one which never seemed to appear, the problem I have with the manifolds are everyone I have heard sound so raspy and I hate that sound.

Hammer Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Mate, I honestly hate you! Every time I go out and clean up the car and the engine bay see this thread and I get depressed at how crap mine looks. Hope it all went well mate and obviously the Supra is looking better and better. Well done and love this thread, keep it going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 Lol love you too adam! All went well thanks, couple of hick ups but all went pretty good.

ripped_fear Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 Zun mesh arrived! Got that fitted and quickly re bled the car as I removed a coolant hose when fitting the inlet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammer Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Liking the mesh mate, didn't think I would but it looks good. Definitely think you should loose the brace, that engine should be on full view imo. Great work Jake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 Cheers mate, tidys the front up loads imo. Im unsure about the brace I was looking at it off but decided to put it back. I may paint the struts in 199 and see then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo11 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Like the mesh too mate, really suits it. Looking closer at your pics it's actually something I need to do on mine; get a mesh with a closer weave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) Finally its happening, the arches are being rolled as we speak. Finally I will be able to reset the suspension softer.

ripped_fear Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) Right the arches are done he has done a great job, I didn't get them rolled completely flat as I didn't want cracking and paint flaking. It has a couple of minor crazes on the inner part of the arch but very impressed. Will paint the inside at some point and she will be getting her re-spray next year anyway. Had a play with the suspension and have gone for around 10 clicks from firm and have soften the front slightly again. Just took it round the block on a particularly bumpy bit of road and one junction on the motor way and she rides great now. Almost OEM but just feels tighter. Cant wait to take it out for a proper drive on my favourite bit of road now. Now the majority of shows and meets that I planned to attend are out the way, the wheels will be started this week at some point. Think I have decided to go for polished lip with silver inserts, (undecided on flat silver or gloss) this may change. Along with this I will be re painting the brakes, with the new decals, new nuts all round and some nice dust caps. Going to continue the red colour, so all the little bits will be the anodised red colour.
