I'll be keeping my eye on yours mate I still think white is one of the best colours on a Supra, you've got a stunning car there! I had the Jap girl talking to me on the drive home from Jurgens! I think she was confused, "We're not in Tokyo anymore...! :blink:" Just be warned about those sticky things on the windscreen - nightmare to get off!! Once I have ticked off those last few things, I'll be looking more into styling... Exciting times! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st3ven1 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Really liking the yellow. Loads of supras have little insects in the lights, there is even a thread about it on supraforums. It's possible the sensors you guys are finding are either for the GPS or for the toll roads in Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benkei Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 Last weekend I had my new brake discs and lines fitted with a fluid flush and replaced with ATE brake fluid, and it feels so much better! They bite straight away and have a much improved stopping distance. Money well spent! I also touched up the chip on my door and it now blends straight in! Coilovers are next on the list as I really need ot get her sitting lower, the height is almost embarrassing! So BC coilovers are in order! Exhaust wise I want something not too loud which sounds 'sporty' and has a nice note to it. I really like the HKS Silent Hi-Power exhaust...

Geo Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 £500? You sure? They were almost £800 when I last checked?? £512 to be exact Jurgen sent them through to me, although that could have been trade price, and or a special deal that was going at the time?

benkei Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) Update time! I decided to bring the paint up a little, so I gave her a damn good clean! I cleaned in as many places as I could find! The dirt that has settled in the gaps and cracks: I got it out! Then I washed her: And clayed (still a very clean car!) Then I polished the old, faded paint away, to reveal a deeper, shinier yellow beneath!! Here's the far left section of the bonnet polished: A 50/50 shot: A little more: And the whole thing: The finish is so much deeper and glossier! Same again with the roof: 50/50 Wing: Door: You get the idea! She looks so much better now! She really needs a professional job doing, but for now I'm happy Except for the dent on the door, which I should be getting looked at tomorrow, see if they can fix it without too much bother! Next on the list is a set of coilovers. It was a toss-up between HSDs and BC Racing. I was edging towarss BC as they are a bit cheaper, but then HSD decided to give 20% off in a group buy, so I'll go with them instead! I'm also looking for an exhaust. I really like the sound of the HKS Silent Hi-Power, but the HKS Super Dragger looks so much better! Thoughts?
