Looks great shawn, 1 thing i would say, you`ve got way too much angle on your rear wing bud, it`ll be acting like an air brake and make your mpg like 8 or something:)

 

Cheers bud :) yeah iv just put it on the middle adjustment for now, i'm favouring the more angle to start to make sure its not to light on the back end and stays planted well

 

Looks great, not overly a fan of kitted Supras but if you're going to do it do it right and that is right imo. Inside, engine and out that is one impressive car and that's just in pics. must look awesome in the flesh. Great work.

 

Thankyou mate yeah pictures dont really do it any justice at all to be honest and am so proud now its finally coming to a finish of what my dream Supra has always been :)

Not really an update a such but got a good amount of run in miles done now and all is going well so far, felt great taking it to Santa Pod this weekend for its first show since the rebuild and down to Ace Cafe afterwards, here's the pics...

 

Arrived at Santa Pod and cleaned her up...

Awesome weather we had over the weekend and run in period finished :D

 

Picture update of my weekend…

 

 

Saturday was a Supra cleaning day… (excuse the front bumper on the black one, still needs respraying after changing the splitter)

Sunday was Japfest at Silverstone so was excited to be parked on show and shine for this event (until we arrived and seen that they stuffed show and shine outside of the track in an attempt to make the show bigger and to attract people to go outside of the track, which didn’t work)…

attachment.php?attachmentid=227007&stc=1&d=1525941690

 

And to make things worse I didn’t read all the pdf attachments from the confirmation email thoroughly enough (my bad) and was given no guidance while at the event so I wasn’t aware that I was supposed to be with my car at 13:45 to be escorted on a parade lap (round the show not the track) with the other show and shine competitors to finish in an arena where they done the judging for show and shine so after parking up on show and shine all day I missed any potential chance of winning anything.

 

Then the usual stopping place in any journey…

After the additional miles accumulated over the weekend I had reached my run in total so yesterday she found herself back in the shed where she spent so long in…

Out with the old…

And in with the new…

Nice upgrade on the brakes front.

 

What were your reasons for the K-sports ?

 

Thanks mate :) mainly for show use in all honesty as I like the look of them but from a functional point of view alot of people have given them glowing references so thought they seemed to be a good way to go :)

What is the difference in caliper thickness with them fitted mate? Have you gained clearance from caliper to wheel at all? My CCWs foul my UK spec caliper unless I use a 3mm slip-on you see. :)

Yeah iv gained quite alot of clearance mate, il measure it when I get home but its got to be close to 10mm more clearance compared to UKs

Excuse the dirty wheels and because I forgot last night I only popped out quick this morning and couldn't find the tape measure but to give you an idea of the size I placed a 20 pence coin in position, id take a guess at around 9-10mm clearance without accurate measurement

Damn mate, feel something going on in my trouser department looking at them. Would love a set :)

 

Hahaha thanks bud :)

Finally after all this time and effort I have broke the 1000bhp figure :D

 

Its still not fully mapped and more power to come as this run was at 1.9 bar boost whereas he said full boost will be around 2.2/2.3 bar so expecting a good 100bhp at least ontop of this but still reached the target I went out to achieve on this setup and came in at 1020.6bhp so im really happy :)
