StevenOd Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) Hey guys! Not long joined the forum and got my first supra on the go [GRIN][/GRIN] I'm 21 and based in Glasgow. Its a 5 speed J-Spec manual non turbo in red, May have been owned by a previous owner on here before as I found a mkivsupra business card in it! If anyone knows who it was let me know I bought it from a garage that someone had used it as a part ex change! I'm also led to believe the car was imported around 2006 but the garage didnt have to much info. Any ways here is some pics.. Headlights have suffered from years of oxidation, I'm currently awaiting a 3M headlight restoration kit to sort this out. The car badly needs a paint correction, To many swirls for my liking! This will be getting sorted out first.. The car has a horrendous CD player ( Also has a mini cd player LOL ) in it at the moment, I've just bought a Pioneer AppRadio 2 SPH-DA100 from ebay along with all the leads needed to work with an iPhone 5, My plan is to fit an iPhone dock where the ashtray is located, Just awaiting the size dimensions from the suppliers as I could use a normal iPhone dock or an iPad mini dock! More pics to follow, Still undecided what I want to do first but first of all I will be restoring the paint work, Carrying out a major service along with new pads and discs and a timing belt at some point! Thanks for looking Edited July 28, 2013 by StevenOd (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenOd Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 Thanks for the advise! Going along with this process however Congratulations on the new motor Thread here with advice about refurbishing the headlights http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?291270 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus GTE Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Insurance was 1300, 1 years no claims, Had my license just coming up to 2 years. Where is the fog light situated in the uk specs? They are built into the rear light cluster. J- spec has 2 tail lights each side glowing when lights are on, and UK- spec has one each side as the other 2 are the rear fogs. Think you can retrofit the j-spec rear lights to include a fog light, but don't know about the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the advise! Going along with this process however The insides of the lenses and reflectors will also need cleaning, very common issue on the pre-facelift headlights, loads of threads on the subject if you do a search Edited July 28, 2013 by Nic (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross C Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Great news Steven. Will have to get another meet to have a nosey around it soon. The foglight gets taken away completely and wired into the rear cluster. Had it done to mine and is much better than having the little add-on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenOd Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 Thanks guys! I'll be at every meet don't worry! The head unit can do quite a lot of stuff but works best with a jail broken iPhone ( still waiting on a new jailbrake getting released ) it can play anything from your phone onto the screen with built in notifications, seen some videos of guys playing angry burds and Netflix from it, looks quite cool! I still need to wire up a parking brake bypass for it however been to busy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black carpet makes so much difference, buy a bottle of dye or try and source a carpet and we will get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
