Benjy Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Looks like quite a nice wheel mate. Didn't really have much time to look at other cars on our stand. Bloody kids needed feeding/changing every time I thought about it! Nice front bumper though Mr List... Impeccable taste sir... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) Gave her a nice clean yesterday, and sorted a few little jobs. Looking good listy just get a new jap plate on now ffs that one looks older than me New number plate fitted to the front. The old one looked, well, old, and ruined the front end. Nice shiney import sized plate now fitted. Also gave her a good polish after the wash. I'm currently trying out Auto Finesse products, and I have to say the Supra has come out great, bearing in mind it was literally just a wash and quick polish. I also sorted out my steering wheel alignment, so it finally sits central again, and no my indicators click off when they should. Finally got rid of the last bit of blue in the engine bay (silicone coupler) and replaced with white. However, I found some oil in the old silicone and the IC pipes, so may be looking at new turbos soon Edited May 18, 2014 by listy (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 However, I found some oil in the old silicone and the IC pipes, so may be looking at new turbos soon A misting of oil inside the pipes is perfectly normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 A bit of an update: As some know already, I had a bit of a mishap.....I killed the W58 I was going to go 6 speed, but unfortunately, Paul at Whifbitz South Wales discovered a couple of other problems, which chewed into the budget and now means I have to settle for another W58 instead. Hopefully we'll have one next week and she'll be back on the road. The other problems were that the rear crank seal was not a Toyota one, so was leaking into the bellhousing. The front crank seal was incorrectly fitted (pushed slightly too far in I think) so was leaking. I'm also looking into getting a new radiator as mine has corroded a bit, and possibly a new exhaust, as it turns out mine is only 2.5" from cat back, not 3" as I thought. Anyway, hopefully have her back soon, as I really have missed her these last few weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 Gearbox found. Fan shroud found. Ali radiator purchased. Braided brake lines purchased. All to be fitted by Paul@Whifbitz South Wales in the next week or so. So close to having her back on the road and I can't wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 Well, the new box is on and Paul says it seems good Ali rad fitted Braided brake lines fitted I'll fit the fan shroud when I get her home tomorrow Front crank seal replaced Rear crank seal replaced Blowing decat pipe fixed Pick her up some time tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

listy Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 Well as some may have seen, I'm after a new bumper again (god damn high curbs. Hardly touched it either ) So for now, she's off the road until I find a new one. I'm in no rush, as she'll just be off the road for the winter now, just a shame she's just sat there. Hopefully there will more updates over the winter, as I can do what I want, without worrying about here being off road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully there will more updates over the winter, as I can do what I want, without worrying about here being off road I'd just go with a stock front and rmm lip mate, it'll suit the rest of the car and will be a lot more forgiving when it comes to speed bumps. Save you quite a few quid and trips to the body shop too in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I don't get how you damage your bumper? See my car it's very low and I'm totally fine, although I did have an Apr splitter made underneath the bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See my car it's very low and I'm totally fine, although I did have an Apr splitter made underneath the bumper. It was a high curb mate. Mine sits high enough (just) to usually go over a curb. I didn't realise it was so high, and just nudged it. Fibreglass isn't very forgiving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

listy Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 No updates at the moment. Moving house this spring, so for now she is sat in the garage, SORNed, feeling sorry for herself. The bumper repair split again, so I need to redo that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

listy Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 I do have some plans, but for now, they are on hold, and probably wont happen until the summer at least Nothing major, just small improvements and modernising here and there.

listy Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 Well, another year, and another MOT passed with flying colours. No other updates for now, but I do need to sort the wheel alignment out. She tracks to the left and I'm getting uneven wear on the drivers side front tyre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

listy Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 I'm not sure mate. Got a lot of things happening over the next couple of months to get through first with the move and career change, so we'll have to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
