Richie_k83 Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) Going by the state of the filter has it ever been serviced good luck with it. I'm sure it has, just not sure when lol looks good. not a fan of the red but better combination I wasn't at first but its growing on me... Or i'm just accepting that it will be too bigger job to remove lol The dash looks, without exaggerating, 1,000,000 times better already! Good work. Thanks dude, still got little bits to do here and there though. Just had a crack at re-trimming the centre arm rest; Bit of spray glue and Job done!

skippyboyo1 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 If this were mine and I was doing the same I'd paint both glove boxes, steering Collum and the rest of the white black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steering column is on the to do list for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie_k83 Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 (edited) More Paint stripping, feels like I have loads left to do..... Started getting more off, http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/16/epasy8e4.jpg Jet wash did a good job, was the only safe option I could think of without damaging the paint on some of the plastics, http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/16/yta9uhu6.jpg Finished 1x lot, still more to do mind, http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/16/5yryjede.jpg Edited December 7, 2015 by Richie_k83 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike3.0 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Looks far better, Those headlights are easy to refurbish too, half way through mine now. Did them on my last Supra too, well worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie_k83 Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 (edited) Been thinking of some new wheels... I like the Rays TE37's but the design is becoming a little too common imo. I do like the Rays 57D, decided a test fit would confirm my decision so I know how much i have to save Turns out we had a spare wheel on the shelf at work, 18x9.5" ET22 and weighing in at 8.2kg. Rear fitment is spot on with the 10mm spacers and still plenty of room, Front fitment with the same wheel sticks out a couple of inch so would need to go for a staggered fitment with a higher offset on the front, Black on White looks to be a good colour combo, just have to do my reaserch on the front offset and then get saving...

Hitbox Junkie Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 decided to take the plunge and start the bigger job of the rest of the red dash looks like your having a whale of a time with this project looking forward to more progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Thanks dude I hope so, been quoted about £300 to get the dash and doors flocked Taking the dash out and putting back is where all the work is, if you go down that route change the heater matrix it will cost but while its out might aswell do it.

I have considered this, just got to price it up.

SupraP-Z Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Ive seen some examples of red dashes, and I think if done right, they can look really nice. Those were retrimmed mind you, not sprayed. Doing a good job so far though mate! What you planning on the brakes? Ive just upgraded to UK specs on mine...just fronts for the time being, stainless braided lines and a full bleed. Made a noticeable difference after a while! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brakes are 4 Pot Lexus Calipers up front with standard JDM rears. Will be looking at Performance Friction Z rated pads all round if possible (or a similar compound), AP Racing fluid and Braided lines. Front Rotors are slotted but unsure of the make, will source a matching set of rears too from somewhere if I can...

Richie_k83 Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) Made a bit more progress on the interior today. My friend re-trimmed the door arm rests in Suede, whilst I repaired some of the red paint and re-painted some of the plastics black... Before, Arm Rest wrapped, All Done, Really chuffed with how they came out. Still more to do but all getting there slowly Edited December 7, 2015 by Richie_k83 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike3.0 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Thanks dude. What are you using to refurbish them? Had a look around but see folk saying its not brilliant or a permanent fix... I've just used t-cut on mine, They've turned out great, the last pair did too. They can cloud up if not sealed 100%, but it's easy enough to take them out for another quick polish. Your only other real option is to get some glass headlights, but this is a costly fix. Plus I prefer the facelift style look, without the official facelift cost. Give them a go, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie_k83 Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) Decided it was time to give the old girl a service. After looking at the state of the Air Filter a while back, I think she has been somewhat neglected. Some folk have no mechanical sympathy..! lol Decided to try out some of this HKS Super Racing Oil that we had in stock, along with HKS Filter and Mishimoto magnetic sump plug Not the cheapest Oil out there I'm sure, nor will it make it any quicker but its quality stuff and I get it fairly cheap from work. Peace of mind and all that... Edited December 7, 2015 by Richie_k83 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie_k83 Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) State of the Headlamps is getting me down so I got the car up on the ramps, changed the Oil and pulled the front end apart, Pulled the lamps apart for painting... ... and to sort the one crappy lens out, Edited December 7, 2015 by Richie_k83 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
