Littler Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 I'm slightly confused as my car is in the bodyshop with a guy called rich! Do you mean me? If so not sure where the Dave has come from unless this is ment for DaveR. If it was my bodyshop you were at I didn't realise you used them!? Edited, slight cock up on my posting lol My dads jag is in there having a few bits done and I picked him up after dropping the car off and noticed yours in the corner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littler Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 You two are banned. Adam, the Classics are great for sure (I would say that ) - though I don't think the satin black finish does anything for them in the slightest. It would have a negative effect on your car given the current setup for sure. Go polished or go for something else IMO Though don't go polished, I don't want more people having them CCW's do look really good on a stock bodied supra with a front lip but you need to have the correct size, offset and have the car sitting on them just right. The car will be on CW suspension so in terms of how it will sit height and stance wise it will be similar to this as steves was on CW suspension when these were took Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littler Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) Gone spoiler less ... Well at least for while I'm wet sanding/polishing the rear lol Edited August 17, 2013 by Littler (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 looking good but i always think a supra is not a supra without a spoiler, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abtin90 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I'm really liking that. I personally prefer the spoilerless look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Sneak of what Si has bin doing for me Oem with a modern touch, indicator on one row sidelight on the other http://www.internetwork.org.uk/littler.jpg Nice Touch - looks very nice lit up. BTW: How many sets of wheels have you gone through? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littler Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 Nice Touch - looks very nice lit up. BTW: How many sets of wheels have you gone through? Thanks Imi Wheels wise I haven't actually got through that many lol, I had the ASA wheels when I first got the Supra, then had a spare set of stock UK's. After that I picked up the Advans that are on the car now, and then I have some 15" and 17" drag wheels. I have posted a fair few options up in thread though, as I was trying to find the best option to increase the grip when I go big power hence the CCW's Dropping to a 17" rear wheel seems to have a great effect on the grip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at least for while I'm wet sanding/polishing the rear lol http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/08/12/uva8ahed.jpg I think it looks well smart mate, but I do actually prefer the spoiler. I think the spoiler less look suits certain colours maybe? Black with spoiler looks unstoppable. Keep it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the spoiler less look suits certain colours maybe? Black with spoiler looks unstoppable. Keep it. I've realised what does it, I don't think spoilerless suits a stock rear bumper, so from the front it looks good. From the back it looks to empty, need a different bumper of a diffuser to pull it off but I'm going to stick with the spoiler Hear's a few pics of the car from the Falcon meet on saturday, thanks Rich Edited August 12, 2013 by Littler (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also need to give the car some room to squat when you put the power down. I personally wouldn't want to go any lower than mine sits now on CCW's.

Why do you want to change those wheels mate? Ricky had 650 or so HP and no traction problems…. It looks ace as it is! Although those headlights let it down. By my calculations, a new set of facelifts would improve it by approximately; 100000000000000000000000000000 times.

Yeah don't think I realised how low that sat, just looked at a pic of your's as it is now and there is quite a difference!! lol And that was with flared rear arches!

Facelift lights are sorted, just waiting for the inserts to be painted matt black, that combined with my delined lenses I think will finish the front off nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littler Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) Custom facelift inserts ready to go in, combined with my delined/clear lenses the headlights should look pretty good Edited August 17, 2013 by Littler (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Not very custom are they. Let's be honest here, you just painted them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be honest here, you just painted them The metal piece from under the dipped beam is removed and so are the lines from the base section, so it is completely smooth rather than what it is stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Great work on those inserts They could maybe do with something subtle to break up the glass though - how about gunmetal rings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippyboyo1 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I'm sorry, do we have a problem you'd like to discuss? I'm drawing on a descussion about "race" manifolds. It's a fact, those inserts are custom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
