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.

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" ;)

 

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.

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

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.

 

Thanks chris, il check both on Tuesday and get back to you. 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. ??

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.
