ripped_fear Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Wheels look ace mate. Your car is gonna be show standard by the time your finished! Cheers dude they should look better, and they will tie me over until a nice set of Works show up. I would love to be show standard but I don't stand much chance if I park next to the likes of Rob and hodge, I will park in the corner and then all will be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 But you took your time and made it your own. Its not about the biggest or fastest car mate, or who can hide the most wires, its about spending time on your hobbie and enjoying it with your mates AND making new ones! The events are really what make it worth while for me. Everyones so welcoming, Japfest was friggin awesome, I might go SupraPod this year as theres so many funny people Id love to meet them in real life Your car WILL be show standard mate, its alreay mint as it is!

Hammer Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Noz is right mate. Yours is a drive a day and you look after it and work on making it look really nice and all that work is really worthwhile. You have a really nice motor Jake and it's a credit to the time you put into it and I know how much you enjoy owning a Supra. Looking nice mate, well done.

Thanks bud, it indeed is not the fastest supra and never will be but i do take pride in the car and love doing bits to it. It keeps me out of trouble You are very right in saying about the events making it worth while. Last year when going to suprapod I parked the car up and when for a wonder and everyone I spoke to where so nice and the cars almost become irrelevant, and it was more like chilling out with mates. You better come to suprapod bud you will not regret it! 'Minted NA of the year' Does such an award exists lol TBH I would be happy with a bag of haribo Noz is right mate.

Im focusing on billet stuff at the moment but i might turn to stainless in the future I have to say I do love the pulleys you have made. be good to see some more stainless bit available again as it is getting harder and harder these days to find nice bits, especially for the NA. no love left for them these days with falling prices I suppose.

Noz Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Falling prices is good. Means more engines for me to buy after I blow my current one up I've contacted a new supplier for stainless steel products and will be sending off to try and get some sills done soon. I love custom like you mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 Ok have had a little bit of a set back, The car I think, has developed a slightly sticking rear brake calliper, getting her looked at tomorrow after work. Also I'm hoping that some bit should have arrived by Tuesday so will be able to work on it then and Wednesday. More under bonnet bling and a vac gauge thanks to Noz. Also the first few dash panels are going off for another paint on Monday, I'm hoping third time lucky. This time the paint is coming out of a can but I'm hoping the finish should be matt and not satin, although the colour match may not be as good as its out of a can and not mixed to match.
