Ross C Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Black carpet makes so much difference, buy a bottle of dye or try and source a carpet and we will get it done. Add it to the list of things to do hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenOd Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) So for some updates ! Since my last update I have just been taking care of bits and bobs. Full service has been carried out. ( Oil Filter, Air Filter + Plugs ) Front + Rear pads and discs and wheel alignment. http://distilleryimage10.s3.amazonaws.com/44e5d7de01b611e3895f22000a9e4895_7.jpg Edited December 18, 2013 by StevenOd (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenOd Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 Managed to get a hold of some interior parts as mines have previously been butchered by the previous owners! http://distilleryimage3.s3.amazonaws.com/7cde4b4a5ec111e3bec90ed4edb1ed53_7.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross C Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Nice updates Steven. Good to see the new interior bits and pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st3ven1 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Full service has been carried out. ( Oil Filter, Air Filter + Plugs ) That's stretching "full service" a bit. What about engine oil, gearbox oil, diff oil, brake fluid, coolant, timing belt and aux belt? Like the TRD gear knob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenOd Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 Timing belt will follow along with new water pump and coolant etc if you read the updates Brake fluid change was carried out once the pads and discs were fitted and I just used the old engine oil once I drained it because I care for the environment Just kidding. Toyota gave me a free bottle of engine oil that I used once I drained the oil and renewed the oil filter! Gearbox oil and diff oil has all been taken care of.

Rich.2211 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Does the gear knob fit? I saw them on Ebay identical and fancy a purchase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenOd Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 It's fits yeah, but the grommet doesn't fit to flush onto it so ive got a standard one on it at the moment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenOd Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Well last week I unexpectedly sold the car! Had it on swaps for shits and giggles and got offered a good price. I snapped at the opportunity as I was going to sell it soon anyways but just not that fast. So it's off to a good home back down South and for me it's time to move onto a proper supra now with a turbo or two! Just waiting on some things coming through and it's time to have a talk with Jurgen @ JM Imports :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
