Big Supes Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 Cheers Rich. There's a long road ahead so not in any rush... just enjoying having a car I can maintain and upgrade as I go, instead of constantly chasing problems (makes for a nice change ).

Big Supes Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 New shiny bits arrived in the post today. Some more goodness! In the name of Whifbitz this time. These should marry up nicely with my Chris Wilson SMIC. That's my BPU charge cooling system sorted now. In terms of performance, I'm considering a mappable ECU next for a less crude tune than the FCD. I have one big spend left for this year and I'm struggling to make a decision... new wheels or manual conversion?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Supes Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Thanks mate! Credit to the 2 previous owners, TBH. I'm doing my best to keep it as clean as possible. I'll be honest, I've missed it like crazy the last 5 months, but the days when the weather has been nasty, it brought a little smile to my face knowing it was tucked up sound asleep in the garage.

Big Supes Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Thanks dudes. I'm thinking he'll be back on the road Easter weekend Dave. Will probably get the MOT and tax sorted the weekend before though. Thanks for the offer Jake. Might well take you up on that as I've been thinking we should build up more of a local members tinkering club. With more heads involved, it makes lighter work for everyone! Plus, I love a good tinker. I plan to start work next weekend if you're around. Hopefully the weather will be suitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Supes Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 A supra won't melt if you drive it in the rain dude How did the MOT go? True mate, but the salt roads will eat it over time. I had to change a tyre, but she flew through which was a treat. IC and shiny pipes are going on today, as well as a cheeky oil change.

Very true, still just don't drive it in the worst of the winter when there's salt on the road woohoo, look forward to seeing her at BW soon then dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nice bit of spring rainfall and then its good to go. I think the proof is in the pudding when you look under the UK specs around today. You can tell the ones that have been out all year round compared to the ones that have been tucked away. Shiney bits Looking good mate! Thanks dude. If I ever need a shiny fix I just visit your build thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Supes Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 Productive day today.... New Chris Wilson SMIC and Whifbitz stainless pipes fitted. The car runs so much better now. I forgot how quick it was before the original IC started playing up. Was also nice to get the oil change done. Will get some pics when I've managed to clean it all up.
