Absolutely stunning Rich! I wasn't expecting anything less from you to be honest though!

I really love how she looks in these jap pictures! You have to upload more!

 

Health to enjoy! :D

 

Cheers Manos. As soon as I battle off this illness, there will be plenty of pictures and updates :D

 

 

Nice car, congratulations.

 

I remember this car as it came from Japan roughly around the same time mine came over. Looks like it has been well looked after.

 

Thanks Sukhy. I saw your car near Merry "Hell" a few months ago. You pulled up by the side of me :D

Really, whereabouts? Should of said hello :)

 

Heading back towards the M6, I was in a Honda estate and didn't want to look like a loon trying to grab your attention. It would of been a different story had I been in the Supra.

 

Sounded mean :D

The wheels on the car were a major selling point but unfortunately they had all suffered from some light kerbing and stone chipping. So today, I dropped the wheels off to be refurbished and I hope to have them back with me mid to late next week. I opted for them to be refurbed to original condition as I think they suit the car so well as they are.

 

I also took the opportunity to confirm the sizes and offsets whilst the wheels were off.

Very nice Rich, can you let us know what the fit is like on your APR cooling plate, the last 3 I've fitted for people have been well off, I think their moulds are getting on a bit..

Lowered the car back onto the wheels today and took a quick snap shot on my phone. It's still sitting a bit high here but I liked the picture all the same.

I removed this nasty cold air intake hose too as I'm thinking of designing/making/having made a custom air box. Intercooler pipes will be going satin black along with cleaning the green algae from the edge of the indicator I have just noticed!!!

Also, with the inner arch liner off earlier today, I noticed that a grommet was missing/out of place so I rectified that asap. As you can tell I broke out the DSLR for this high res first image :D

I'll give it a test fit over the Christmas break and report back. It's not the first time I've heard of poor fitment, which is a shame as they look like a quality item and are priced accordingly. Fingers crossed :)
