spikedjack Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 Done nothing to it other than for a Chris Wilson restrictor ring and keep it clean/enjoy it bud Only got back from Egypt with the missus yesterday so all the cash went on that lol, brakes: lines, fluid and pads next with a visual caliber refurb I think, then maybe some wheel spacers and an arch roll Yours keeping well westy?

spikedjack Posted September 22, 2012 Author Share Posted September 22, 2012 Gave the arches A cleanout today and raised the car up by 5 or so mm all the way round. I did this because it was constantly catching speed bumps and potholes just to make it a little bit more practical without losing too much of the look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muzzytt Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Cheers mate really loving the red not many of them in such good condition here in Australia! Those rims come in black too I think that would look awesome with the red too! I just purchased a black 97 vvti though have had a few issues nothing big though. Loving the exhaust note while cruising its so different to my old 1jz. Soarer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spikedjack Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 Not updated in a while so here we go! Not much has been done as I've recently changed jobs so been busy with that etc and cash has been tight but hopefully now more can be spent on the sup Bought an ARC titanium gear knob for it, these are meant for a 5sp NA however I milled down the adapter sleeve and she now sits lovely! Nice and rare as arc stopped making them! Then a few random photos from the last few months And a random one of the missus blasting it off, we'll trained Some braided brake hoses and good fluid are next up, hopefully next week. On the hunt for a good fmic kit also, more than likely SRD, however that may be jan/feb time Thanks for looking all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benkei Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Looking shiny mate! Just need the front lip colour coding and it will look immense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikedjack Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 Could do with the front lip replacing before i paint it i think dude. Sadly when i hit a hedgehog at 90odd leptons it pulled it off and dragged it along the floor, i've rebolted it now with some m8 bolts and its solid however has worn slightly at the bottom. you cant tell much now but if you painted it im sure you would. Tempted to buy a new one and have it painted and cut the ears off... but its a lot of cash to just replace when there's not much wrong with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 car is looking superb mate, i take a lot of pride in seeing owners looking after cars we supplied ;-).. you have beauty of a car.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeiretto Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Your car is one of many reasons why I opted for a red Supra myself! Although your car seems a different shade of red than mine. Is it Renaissance Red or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 yup facelift red i think.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
