Guest ugp Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 That's looking really good. Do you notice much difference with the Titan ARB's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 Haha! What's with all the "need to get a bird" chat just because I'm keeping the car in good condition....I don't fair to bad with the ladies if the truth be known!!!

Westy Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 That's looking really good. Do you notice much difference with the Titan ARB's? I fitted a lot of new suspension related items at the same time mate....TRD front strut brace; DoLuck rear strut brace; new drop links and the ARBs...but I definately felt everything tighten up...the car is sharper and I'm far more confident in the corners...but hard to tell which element brought the greatest improvement.

Guest taylo02 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Mate I've just spent over an hour reading this. It is amazing your car is lovely and a real credit to you. I will be buying a Supra in the next month or so and can only hope mine ends up like yours. Keep up the good work mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westy Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 New strut tower bolts: Just bought 6 plain titanium M10 x 1.25...they are the exact same grade titanium as the ones above...but I'm going to do the burn myself as they were comparatively cheap compared to buying the above ones.

Westy Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Found out the colour change on titanium under heat. Titanium changes colour in this pattern: it will begin with a normal silver --> gold -->blue --> purple --> magenta --> bronze --> green --> pink --> dark gray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westy Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 As some may have seen I posted a thread looking for another OEM VVTi cam cover...I wanted to keep an original and have a spare that I could paint. Thanks to SteveR this arrived at the house yesterday. Just need to decide on a colour, but I think it'll probably just be painted 202 black to match the car!

Westy Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Black or a mirror chrome using a similar paint that Rob used on his are my top choices. Seen this on IG which looks different...no idea how you would do this though!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
