mattdavies Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Looks Pukka!! How long did it take you to fit it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikedjack Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 It is a three row by the looks of it yeah! It's massive to me though lol! It took me about 6 hours start to finish, that's with modifying the undertray mind. I'm not the fastest at working with stuff like this though!

spikedjack Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 (edited) Cheers bud, I've reverted back to using the stock header tank for now due to the cap not fitting at all on the header supplied, will see what i can sort to fix this issue long term Just ordered some V160/1 oil for the gearbox, unsure of its last change date so thought i'd better do it while its still fairly warm outside and im not going to skin all my knuckles on the job! Royal purple synchromax is what i've ordered so hopefully should be ok Edited October 9, 2013 by spikedjack (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikedjack Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 Just had these delivered, looks like I'll be changing the oil out tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Looking good Jack. Very nice. Seeing your front end makes me wonder whether I should fit my facelift bumper bar or leave it open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikedjack Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 Cheers James I love the open look of a preface bumper, but like the fact the only giveaway of it being facelift is the bar and lights! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikedjack Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 A couple of smallish updates for this thread i think... Recently "popped in" to Titan Motorsports whilst over in the USA on holiday, picked up a new Rad Cap as mine was erm.... Broken? Old Vs New: My HID's were a kit that came with my old car and were fitted as temporary when the ones that came with this car died... Well, they decided to start playing up and only one working so decided it was time for a new kit. Ordered a 4300k Kit from HID Direct and got them fitted. Shockingly the Old kit (6000k() were different colours :roll eyes: Before: After: Had a day off today so decided to get some wax (collinite 915s) on the old girl ready for the bad weather and naturally snapped a few pics: Thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spikedjack Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 Not really a supra update, but sort of.... I've finally bought a daily drive so I don't have to keep putting miles on the supra and also using it in poor weather, here we go: She's a little 1.3cdti so will go forever on a tank in comparison, ideal for work seeing as I'm now commuting a lot to Leeds/Bradford and Manchester from Wolverhampton.! Once my garage door is fixed (this week hopefully) I can get the supra In for a good deep scrub and demoted to weekend car only Thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heedthebaw Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Great looking car! I'll be keeping my eye on this as i've just bought a red TT6 and hope i can keep it this clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikedjack Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 Thought I'd update this as I haven't in about 15 months! I bought my first house with the other half a year ago and it needed absolutely gutting, which to say the least took a huge chunk of our savings. Anyway, I was determined to keep the supra, and although it covered less than 350miles between mots t was time for some love. It went off to Chris wilson for the following: Cambelt Tensioners Water pump Oil pump seal Crank pulley Coolant change Oil/filters change New iridium plugs and coilpack clips Toyota v161 oil change Diff oil change Prop seal and selector seal change on box New aux belt And probably more that I've forgotten, but either way I collected the weekend and decided to give it some love today with a clean/polish/wax and here are some photos, enjoy Also big thanks to Chris Wilson as I know he's stupidly busy at the minute! Cheers for looking Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pudsey Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Great update - red really does look superb. Lovely looking whoofy too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikedjack Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 Cheers bud, missus was taking her out for a walk as i was giving the car a polish so thought she could pop into shot for a snap! Only 5 and a half months old but already getting huge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mharvey Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Looks lovely mate! This is the dream Supra for me really. Stock body, Red, TT6, those works wheels in bronze, facelift. Job done! I'm from Wolverhampton myself and used to be on CCUK (think I met you once at a meet with Matt Hill and some others) CCUK was where I read about your first Supra and remember being very jealous especially as I imagined by Supra owning days would be a long way off but it made owning one seem more achievable somehow haha. Then you got this one and I saw it up at Halfords in Wolves one day and knew then that if I ever managed to get one then it had to be Red haha. So basicaly I'm blaming you for me being practically bankrupt...but thanking you for the inspiration haha. (Oh and yeah, I did get a red one haha) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
