Swampy442 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Not my cup of tea, I have to admit. 19 inch rims, spacers, wrong profile tyres, misaligned front bumper, ludicrously low. Not got much in its favor Good old Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra joe Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 Check it has the front top wishbones on the correct sides, they are handed. Not my cup of tea, I have to admit. 19 inch rims, spacers, wrong profile tyres, misaligned front bumper, ludicrously low. Not got much in its favor Chris the bumper is not misaligned, it's not even bolted on. As for the coilovers and wheels, I bought the wheels like that from a club member who said they would fit from his soarer. ( my own fault) coilovers have not been set as they have been heightened to get it out the bodyshop. If need be I will change the wheels but unlike yourself, I don't track supras and like the look of 19s on a supra. I will check the wishbones so thank you for your advice.

Chris Wilson Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 They are not stock front wings, are they? Fibreglass? Bad moulding, as in arch misplaced and bumper to wing out of keck? I haven't driven a Supra on a track in ten years plus, I just don't like to see nice handling cars castrated in the name of "a look" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't driven a Supra on a track in ten years plus, I just don't like to see nice handling cars castrated in the name of "a look" Haha fair one, I just bought the wheels because I liked the look of them but do prefer 19s to fill the arches. The wing is oem but has had blitz skirts blended in. Just had my buddy look at tyre sizes and he's going to check the top wishbones to see if they are on correct side. Tyre sizes front are. 245-35-19 Rear. 265-30-19. These are what they came with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fronts should clear, mine were 255 35 19 on the front which is 7mm in diameter bigger than yours, mine just caught the plastic wheel arch trim that sits in front of the wheel but only on full lock, arrowed in yellow Edited November 27, 2013 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra joe Posted November 30, 2013 Author Share Posted November 30, 2013 Just a heads up, found the passenger top upper wishbone is out by 1/2 a cm. It's pushed to the front ! God knows how that's been done ?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I have never known a top wishbone bend. Must have a serious impact to deform a top `bone. If a top is bent it's almost CERTAIN the bottom one is too, as they bend for fun. I probably have good used top and bottom front wishbones.

There is no signs of crash damage to the front end, we've checked every inch of the car. Just don't understand why it's pushed forward and not back. ??

Chris Wilson Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Depends whether it went off the road forwards or backwards I guess. With powerful heavy RWD cars it's usually a toss up I personally would want to change the upright and the lower wishbone at the same time.

Advice taken onboard, especially since I will be taking my little nephew to meets etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I'd be checking all the suspension and get it properly checked if its possibly gone off the rd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
