Guest Sinequan Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I picked up a '96 JDM RZ-s from a forum member on here and it has taken me a month or two to have anything to report. Since collecting in June, the car has had a full respray. Old attempts to rectify lacquer peel with rattle cans and apparently a very abrasive cutting compound (read 40 grit) left the paint work in a truly sorry state. Since getting her back from the bodyshop i have installed the Whifbitz stage 1 tuning pack - thanks for that guys, the engine note is soo good now there is no point having a stereo in the car ;p The rest is mundane but necessary - new brakes / hoses all round and many many gaskets. I am trying to be proactive regarding maintainence inspite of the missus. As she is my first Supra I look forward to learning from the 'well versed' with regards common issues and fixes. Progress pics to follow if anyone has an interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sinequan Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Thanks man. The respray kept her silver. i just couldn't justify the extra couple of grand on a colour change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
