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

You two are banned. :D

 

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 :lol:

 

:D

 

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 :)

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 :D

 

Dropping to a 17" rear wheel seems to have a great effect on the grip :)

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. :)

 

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 :thumbs:

They rubbed like hell at that hight Adam and the CW suspension only had 3 large increments of adjustment which is why I changed to the Tein Flex. 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.

And that was with flared rear arches! 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. :D

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

You have a point dude both wheels wise and lights! :D

 

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 :)
