There are a couple of members in Leicester, best info you could get would be by sending a pm to 'Keron', he could ship it to you too along with the RHD bits you want, that's what he does for a living.

 

He's a Top Geezer and sound as a Pound :think: Dollar. :thumbs:

 

Funny you said that.

I was searching for RHD clutch pedal assembly and he is one of the people selling one.

So I PM him and he PM me back. I will be buying from him!

Good to know he is a trustworthy gent! Hope him and I become good pals.

Maybe he will be interested in some LHD parts from me. :)

 

 

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

It might be my firewall but I can't view any of your photo links.

 

PS what do we call you? Same type of dilemma as when Prince changed his name from "Prince" to a symbol. :D

 

Hehe, name is Alex

Most people call me Lex for short, as if Alex is not short enough. hahaha

 

 

 

hey mate welcome nice car :-)

 

Thank you!

Hope to get to know you all better!

 

 

 

How much delivered to the UK :)

Welcome to the forum, keep us updated with pics :)

Hahaha I wish, I would never leave the house! :)

 

 

 

I'm also after one of those roll-up photographic backgrounds.

 

Well spotted Cliff :D

 

haha :)

 

 

 

I really like boobies.

I bloody love them I do. :D

 

Meeeee too! Welcome to the club! :)

 

 

 

Aawwww people beat me too it about the boob signature. :(.

I too am interested in a price to deliver the girl to the uk?

Welcome to the forum though. Looks like an awesome project you are embarking on. :)

Peter

 

:) Thanks!

 

 

 

Welcome to the forum. :)

Does you plan includes any engine modification or is it just cosmetics?

I think you have peoples interest after posting a list of goodies you are planning to purchase. :D

Or maybe its those seats.....

 

Yes, I am planning to go big single.

I don't know how it is in UK, but in USA everyone wants big single.

Currently have my JDM 2JZ-GTE head at a machine shop.

It will sound NASTY when all put back together. Getting some secret stuff done to it.. :)

Have to find a built block that is capable of handling the power.

My goal is 800bhp at low boost and still comfortable to drive on the street!

This will be a show car for my business.

:)

The business that has the GT300 kit is in Leicester England

The guy Keron that you recommend is in Leicestershire England

 

Is that the same?

Decided to get motivated and put in some WORK

 

This is only one lens.

About 2 hours of sanding (de-lining).

 

This is not even 10% completed yet.

Wow.....

Leicester is the Capital City of the County of Leicestershire, like :think: New York, New York, in Yankenese. ;)

Yep. Warwick, Warwickshire. Northampton, Northamptonshire. Hereford, Herefordshire...London, londonshire :p

 

 

Aaahhhh. Got it, thank you for the explanation. :)

"shire" makes me think of those movies and books about knights and kings.

Hard to believe that those things really existed because I only saw it on TV programs.

I know, I know... stupid american hehe :)

Maybe you should have read the book first! :think:

 

don't forget we also have Hobbits, Elves and dragons over here too

 

hehe :)

 

 

Does anyone know why I can not post in other sections of this forum?

I am assuming because of my low post count.

Yes, i am still somewhat of a n00b to this forum unfortunately :(

Hi Alex

I'm from the shire of Leicester (....some of the girls here could be classed as dragons and hobbits too) but I have no experience, nor have seen any companies selling bodykits for Supras around here.

I'd ask Keron (a good honest chap) for his opinion. He may have had dealings.

 

Now give us 10 gold pieces and become a full member. :)

You need to get a full member to access all the parts of the forum mate.

 

Check on the home page for membership ;)

ahhhhh yes I see, I think my post count was too low.

Now I can post in most other parts of the forum that I couldn't before.

 

But I can not start thread in the project car section :(

Also the classifieds area I can't start any threads.

 

I will have to find membership details on the main page, no rush though.

Maybe when I get some free time. Thanks for the tips guys!

And SupraStar, watch out for those dragons & hobbits!!

:)

Oh, have you guys heard of

 

Meduza Styling AKA Prestige Styling & Performance Ltd

 

This is the place I am talking about.

Hope someone dealt with them before and I hope they are good.

If someone local to that location could check it out, i would REALLY appreciate it.

^^^ exactly, that is only part of my concern.

 

I talked to the guy, he said that he has the mold to make replicas and that is what he does, that is why the price is cheap.

Just not sure if he is legit, I'm sure he is maybe, he has a shop so he must be legit.

I'm sure he would not rip me off. I am just concerned. Do not want to give too much trust, that could come back to hurt me.

Just afraid he is going to take my money and leave me high and dry, with 3500 miles of water between us.

 

It is easy to see this happening especially knowing that I am from long distance

It would cost me more money time and effort to go there if he does not deliver.

To be honest mate, if your not 100% sure, I would look elsewhere. As i said, I'm local and wouldn't use them.

Bodykits is a weird science. A dodgy copy might look ok. But once offered to the car any nasty replica kit could take more effort and money to fit than if you just bought an original to start from.

I'd be asking for fittment guarantees, pics and detailed descriptions of exact materials used.

If you plan on going for big power, forget the R154 5 speed box. Go for the GETRAG V160 or V161 unit.

 

Otherwise, you'll change the box as often as you need to refill the tank ;)

 

I was thinking to convert my automatic, the R154 gearbox can hold to 450-500 hp ?
