People keep at that craic ther wont be anyleft anyway :/ Keep up the good work maintaining her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 Thanks guys. Not sure if she is going or not yet. But I have been offered the number I always said would make me sell as it gives me TT money once combined with some savings. Big thinking to do and a decision to make.

ripped_fear Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 TRD Short shifter arrived today along with some genuine TRD Fuel Cap Garnish's that I ordered from Australia and forgot about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo11 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I was considering that shifter, can't believe it was up for sale for so long! What do you think of the fuel cap garnish's? I wasn't immediately convinced by the advert for those to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't immediately convinced by the advert for those to be honest. Got it for a bargain price too, never expected my offer to be accepted They are alright, they are just stickers. I didn't see the original advert, but the guy got them here quick and they are genuine TRD so good enough for just a few pennies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 So not exactly an interesting update but anyway, just ordered my soldering iron kit to finally install the ignition cut, so hopefully will get around to that at some point. Also ordered some of this new 8D carbon wrap as my genuine carbon boot lip is looking sorry for itself and should prove a nice temp alternative. Will see what its like when it arrives, as I'm not a fan of normal carbon wrap. If its good the newly painted end caps will be done too as these are genuine carbon underneath too. Oh and also gave her a full clean the other day, and am now reading up on how to use my camera properly so hopefully some nice pictures will follow.

ripped_fear Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 So all my ordered bits showed up, so jobs to do again now! Also some of you may have seen on the other thread, the car caught me out for the first time in 5 years of ownership! Lost it from a stand still luckily, minimal damage apart from to my pride Anyway tyres had two nicks in them but all good, thank god! Shes now back to health! Started stripping down the new front bumper and this is off to paint this weekend. Going to have a few extra bits done to this one to make removing the number plate that much easier, as its a bit of a faff currently.

ripped_fear Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 Slow progress but the new front bumper has just gone off to be smoothed and painted, along with some new fixings installed to make fixing the number plate easier for events such as DB.

Kendo11 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Lovely pictures Jake, have you decided what you are doing with the car now? I wouldn't TT it if it was me, it's too good as it is. Stunning either way though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kendo11 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 If you've been offered what you want for it then definitely consider it. Also remember though, values 'should' keep going up. Good luck either way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The value thing isnt an issue as i would still have a supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 If you sell up you'll regret it. You've got things how you want in your standards, to swap to a lesser car even if it does have more power is nuts unless you want to do it all again.

drift_bear Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I got made an offer i couldn't refuse as everyone know, regretted it big time after a few months and wanted it back!

Maybe I do enjoy the building though, the problem is the car I have been offered isnt the colour I want and my dad is too full with work to fit a full respray in. I got made an offer i couldn't refuse as everyone know, regretted it big time after a few months and wanted it back! Trust me jake, you WILL regret it after all the hard work that you've put in so far! You may be right mate, I don't know, and I guess I wont until I try. Got a test drive on the potential car hopefully in the next couple of days, and I also have details on a turbo kit for this one! Big decisions to be done.

ripped_fear Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 I bought some genuine carbon TRD end caps ages ago, and they were in a sorry state. Well I had them done in 199 but when offering up against my make-shift black ones I wasnt keen. So invested in some of the new style 8D high gloss carbon wrap, and have to say im impressed. Held next to my carbon diffuser it looks no different. So I have wrapped my end caps now and will fit them at some point. May try and wrap the boot lip too as the clear coat on that is poor. Dont want to go ott with it but may add some little additions here and there with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 So today she is off to have the exhaust manifold stud heli-coiled as one has no threads now, also having the alignment re-done since the curb incident. And have just purchased a new air filter for it as even though my current performance panel still looks ok and is cleanable it is getting on a bit now.

I have just ordered the new HKS Super Hybid Panel Filter (70017-AT004) from Rich on here via Partbox. Should be here in a few days and It will be tested at Santapod on the 11th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
