jon_dragon Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) I bought some new clear headlight lenses and set to work grafting them to an old set of pre facelift lights I had lying around. These lights look epic and have completely transformed the front end of the car! I'm well impressed Edited November 12, 2014 by jon_dragon (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suomipoika Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Those look really nice! Where did you buy those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 They look fantastic Jon Glad to see my old tinted facelift sidelights have found a good home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo11 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Can you buy the lens covers separately then? Never knew that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_dragon Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 You can, but they're rare and usually quite expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Ab Flug sell the clear lenses and the inner mouldings separately. http://at.abflug.jp/catalog/index_page.php?pkey=item_list&id=ABF1012%&page=3&max=10&td= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 nic, any idea what the difference is between the std and 'hl' lenses is? Facelift and pre facelift possibly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) nic, any idea what the difference is between the std and 'hl' lenses is? Facelift and pre facelift possibly? HL = headlight The kit will fit pre-facelift and facelift, on the pre-facelift I think the inner mouldings need cutting for the side lights. I think these are the options: 1. Supra 80 Headlight Finisher Complete & 2. Supra 80 Headlight Finisher - these include the lenses and inner mouldings, I'm not sure what the difference is between them. 3. Supra 80 HL Finisher/Acryl cover set - Lenses only 4. Supra 80 HL Finisher/Inner Bezel - inner mouldings only Edited November 11, 2014 by Nic (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_dragon Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 Getting on toward £200 just for lenses which is cheaper than the australian ones I've seen. I'd be tempted to build up and sell abflug headlights on an exchange basis if anyone was up for buying them for £500 a pair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommyd16 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I've just done my lights and some water/condensation seems to be getting into the drivers took it apart and cleaned it. Resealed it again thoroughly but still doing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MATT RR Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Lights look brilliant Jon, good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_dragon Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 Got my clocks sorted finally. Jamie took his ELglow dials out of his blue wide arch supra and I've found a home for them. Also, got some interior bits carbon skinned by a friend of mine. I'll get some pics of those up soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_dragon Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 So I got hold of some driftworks rear camber arms which were... fun to fit. They've been adjusted to -1.50 which is straight on a Supra. I'll let you know when they start knocking, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_dragon Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 Those bloody suspension arms are coming off! I cant cope with them creeking and squeeking everywhere I go... The original arms are going back on with new bushes on. I found some bushes from Strongflex The kit number is 211633 Cleaned up the old arms and removed the old worn bushes The bushes come in 2 halfs so you push them in the arm with the provided grease then push the metal tube through Ready to go back on the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supraleeturbo Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) Are these for the rear upper arms if so this would be perfect for me as I'm just about to spend 300+ on a new arm and also how did you get the old bushes out ? Edited March 7, 2015 by Supraleeturbo (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_dragon Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Yep, those are for the rear upper arms. I was going to get new arms from Toyota too but theyre damn expensive. Unfortunately the ball joint is properly part of the arm so if thats goosed then your S.O.O.L We've got a press at work. We ended up pushing the arm off the bush by using a socket that was big enough to miss the bush and sit on the arm. The bushes for both sides cost about £46 and took a week to arrive from Poland.

Dazzi Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Nice work with the bushes. This is one of the jobs on mine and Amys supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_dragon Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 So I just put some LS400 Callipers on the front which I'm sure will make a tremendous difference once the pads are bedded in. I'll get some pictures up once I've painted them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
