DodgyRog Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 (edited) Well I don't have much to do this weekend after the unfortunate last minute cancelation by ShellShocked for my bonnet to be finished So I had a good look at my options for fitting the AutoShine Carbon rear diffuser Well I could of just made up a couple of metal brackets to go on the sides, but I am a picky sod and knew I wouldn't be happy with being able to see the bits of metal (even if painted black) hanging down I got the Carbon bits that are designed to fit it to a none spatted rear, but due to having blended rear spats these were not an option So I decided to get the Dremel out and start cutting Carbonfibre up:innocent: The left over rubbish They now curve up into the inside of the spats, then the idea is to mount the metal bracket to the top of the side bits, meaning they are pretty much invisible from the rear, unless you get under the car. The problem I am having now, is getting everything totally square, which is proving a total nightmare when laid under the car on your own So I have got to this stage All that is left to do is get everything perfectly square to work out were to make the holes in the side carbon bits Hopefully give it another go tomorrow and maybe finally get it fitted, but I might have to wait until I can get another pair of hands to help I now have 40mm HKS lower springs sat hear, so that will help make the arches look a bit fuller, just need to save a bit of cash to pay barneybrendan to fit them and get the then necessary Geo set up done I also have a couple of LED strips to fit, but more on that later Edited November 26, 2011 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Would love to say congrats but damn you for buying that before me On another note your car is going to look great with that fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks and sorry:d 40mm lower than in the pics above ? I am fairly confident the front will be okay 40mm lower as it sits about that higher than my Do-Luck used to, but I must admit I am not sure about how close the sideskirts and rear spats are going to be. So it will be a fit and see, if it looks to low they will be straight back off You can see in this pic, how much higher mine sits I could do with adjustable Coilovers really, but funds won't allow at the moment, if I manage to keep the car and do a TT conversion, then I will look at Coilovers at the same time Edited November 26, 2011 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I think the rear will look wrong if gets any lower 20" rear wheels would fill the arch's better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 (edited) I think the rear will look wrong if gets any lower 20" rear wheels would fill the arch's better It will be just a touch lower than it is sitting here (fully loaded with lugage, full tank of fuel etc at the begining of the Dragonba11 20 inch rims, are you trying to get me banned Just out of interest, before I do it if I feel the need, putting the HKS lowering springs on the front only, will this cause major issues with the handling Edited November 26, 2011 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 I spent the whole of today messing around with the AutoShine rear diffuser, o my god it was a pain in the butt I know it doesn't help that I am a perfectionist, meaning I threw away more of the brackets I made than I actually used:innocent: Anyway I literally spent the whole day on it and managed to finish it in the dark, I have not even had the chance to wash the car this weekend due the length of time it has taken, but I managed it in the end Everything lines up perfectly, to within a mm or so anyway and I did it all on my own with the Supra sat on the deck Pics just taken so in the dark and dirty, no doubt I will get some better ones soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 Just done a bit of Editing on this one to remove the sign behind and the number plate in the window, it's not perfect, but not bad considering I am using the software that came with my Sony A350 Alpha I will have a go at the one you just posted when I have a bit of spare time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) as for colour what where you thinking of or is it a secret. If I do get to the point of being able to do a total respray (as mentioned before) this is the sort of custom colour I am thinking of It will be a weekend toy and show car by then, well it's a summer/weekend toy now anyway, as long as the Pug keeps going It looks totally Black from a distance, especially on dull days, as in the first pic, but when the sun hits the curves the colour pops I will be trying to get the colour pop a bit more red than purple though Edited December 16, 2011 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 (edited) you need a TT lump mate dont worry about the colour is looks nice as it is I am not sure which to do first to be honest, I would like a bit more power, but I have never been power hungry, so it's not a priority for me but the looks are and paint would just finish of the exterior for me, well and some better offset wheels with a decent dish I think I can get away with one major item a year in reality, so I will decide during the summer next year, what next winters change will be Of course if I suddenly find we are a bit flush things may happen before then (I so want JP's wheels) Edited December 17, 2011 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pudsey Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 (edited) I think it would be a great choice on the colour front. I really like purple to be honest as its my favourite colour, only downside is it will show up any dirt like a black car does when it gets anything on it. Definately worth it though for only a couple hours cleaning a week. NB: Just found this picture in another cleaning thread I have just read, may be what your looking for with a bit more red in it.

DodgyRog Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) A couple of pics taken at the London Motor Museum Meet recently by LBM (thanks) The bonnet is now finished, holes filled, black vents etc Hopefully get it back to ShellShocked over the next few weeks and make a start on the rear spoiler bit, more to come on this as and when, but as usual it won't be just stuck on lol. Also plan to make a start on the headlight refurb soon and the possible custom inserts (if I don't hash it up) Edited February 3, 2012 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Looks good mate. Just take your time with the headlights and your be fine. I'm surprised you didn't go clear lenses. Though glass does look real clean. Like I said at plymouth, you'd blend in the wheel if they didn't move Whats on the list after the boot is sorted.

Thanks Noz, all comments are alway appreciated, thats why the threads here after all All comments are always welcome as they help to keep me moving forwards If I didn't have the full set of HID's and had the spare cash, I would go Facelift, but for the money they cost, I personally don't think they are worth it, but for now they will be Glass with Facelift look hopefully and I will work on the customised inserts bit by bit As for other things, I still have a list, although many silly cost things now Wheels with the right Offsets, I have always liked the Racing Harts (5 or 6 Spoke) So if anyone has some they fancy selling get in touch Then the Custom Colour change The TT engine transplant And recently I am getting the itch for a minor ICE upgrade, proberbly just a basic Amp and replace the stock speaker system, I won't be after thumping base, so proberbly no Sub, just decent 6x9's to get better sound quality rather than stupid volume Other than that, no doubt a few little bits here and there, but I am pretty close now Edited February 3, 2012 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
