ShawnPreece Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) Hi just thought I would start a thread for my new (well bought it just over a month ago now) Supra and updates on changes as I make them. Some of you will recognise the car as it used to belong to Robbie on the forum. Here is the Spec of the car atm: UK 6 Speed Single Turbo Running gear: Brakes-UK spec with uprated pads. Suspension-tein adjustable (not sure what type) Wheels- Kahn rsr 18 inch wheels- 275 rear tyres (r888's) Fronts 245 Pilot sport2's Whiteline front and rear anti roll-bar kit Braided brake lines Engine: Engine-Std internals Boostlogic t67 dbb turbo kit with 3" downpipe 3" Stainless exhaust HKS wastegate with recirculated onto the exhaust. (1.12 bar spring) HKS BOV HKS Intercooler HKS Dli JUN based inlet manifold with q45 throttle body and custom and low heat transfer gasket Aluminium radiator HKS Catch can HKS Timing pulley Aquamist direct port water or water/meth injection with multiple fail safes. HKS fuel rail HKS 1000cc injectors Boostlogic twin pump fuel system and fuel regulator Side mounted Oil cooler Side mounted Power steering cooler Gearbox v160 with heavy duty clutch and std flywheel Electronics: Hks EVC4 boost controller Hks Knock amp A/F meter HKS Fuel Adjustment controller egt sensor/dial Fuel pressure dial Oil pressure dial HKS Vpro Gold V3.2 - maps to run bio fuel mix - race fuel and 97 road fuel Boot Battery relocation Washer bottle relocation to boot Exterior: Standard Uk body Lights -UK glass- Zenon headlights My future plans: Well when I bought it I wasn't sure whether to leave it as it was as its a very nice standard looking UK example but as time goes on you always think of idea's and see other Supra's so although I know a few of you might slate me for changing the body of the standard UK spec I have decided im going for a bodykit.... here is the list of plans I have (some may change and also some may be added as I go): New re-trimmed interior in oxblood red leather (out of jay200bhp's supra) - I have so just waiting to fit Full Ridox wide arch bodykit - I have everything now just waiting to get it fitted A few Carbon and shiney bits in the engine bay. Performance wise il be leaving it as it is as it's been set up brilliantly by Robbie and goes plenty well enough to produce smiles as I drive. Im sure plans will change as I go but this is my plans atm and will keep you all updated as I go Edited March 17, 2020 by SPG (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra_ufo Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 nice motor mate, was this the car with the strange gearbox noises? Looks real clean, as for the kit, leave it alone! its a nice sleeper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Nice looking car this one, look forward to more updates! As for the bodykit, I'd leave it standard with some aggressive offset wheels. But that's jusy my opinion . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattwatt Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Looks nice Shawn and liking the sounds of your plans, looking forward to watching its build.

ShawnPreece Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 nice motor mate, was this the car with the strange gearbox noises? Looks real clean, as for the kit, leave it alone! its a nice sleeper Thanks mate yeah that's the one, drive totally fine with it but whines quite abit, it's on the to do list for things to be looked at but drives nicely and previous owner said its been like it since he put it in so will do it after iv done the other bits yeah I did like the standard sleeper look and was thinking of leaving it as it is but I do like the ridox wide arch kit so persuaded myself into going for it Nice looking car this one, look forward to more updates! As for the bodykit, I'd leave it standard with some aggressive offset wheels. But that's jusy my opinion . Thanks mate yeah is ashame to modify the looks of a uk supra and nearly decided to leave it but just always wanted a wide arch supra and like the ridox one so decided to go for it Looks nice Shawn and liking the sounds of your plans, looking forward to watching its build. Just out of curiosity how comes you broke the blue one for this one? Loving my new wheels by the way (well the look not got it back on the road yet) [emoji6] Thankyou mate and glad your liking your wheels they are a very nice looking set I wanted to go single turbo and with the other one having a w58 gearbox it ment I was going to have to do the v160 conversion aswell as the single turbo conversion so buying one already done was far more cost effective, is ashame I had to break the other one and I did have it for sale for a little bit but it needed a little bit of money to be spent on it which I think put a few people off and so made it worth so much more to break rather than sell as a car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abtin90 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Lovely choice on the interior if I had a supra I definitely would have bought it myself seemed like a real bargain. Can't say I'm a fan of changing to a bodykit but if everyone had a stock bodied car meets would be pretty boring so good choice on going with the ridox kit. Will the car be staying stock white when you fit the kit? Also what wheels will you be using to fill the wide arches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankyou mate yeah think it will look nice im keeping the standard Toyota White 040 that the car is in, I like the White and think it will go well with the Red on the interior. Not sure about wheels yet I started looking into it as to what size I need for the rear arches and was told by a few people to wait till after the kit is fitted as the rear arches state they are 50mm wider but people are only getting about 30mm wider on average off them so been told to fit the kit first and have a measure up then to see what wheels I can go for then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the wheels may I make a suggestion, is go with a wide set of work meisters or ccw lm5's in a polished finish. Both would awesome with the ridox kit.

Do you have your eyes set on some wheels to fit the Ridox widebody? Cheers mate Not as of yet mate I am generally browsing from time to time to see whats available and had a few good suggestions but waiting till after the kit is fitted so I can know the exact width and offsets I can go for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPG Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Hey Shawn, looks like your getting stuck in there . Now that the dash is out, are you going to replace the matrix, or had this already been done, might save you some hassle later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
