Havard Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Looks like my house has actually sold so it leaves me at a crossroads. I will defo be enjoying the 330 Ci and doing some track days with Mike Ward & Rob Wild. Keep or sell the Z4?? (Not sure as I love it, but it was meant to be a stop gap). Finally purchase an appreciating Porsche, possibly the GT4. Just watching the prices at the moment but may go for a GT3. I can't ever see the prices going backwards. Would love another Supra but it would have to be something really special. TRD 6 speed perhaps. I think the chances of that are minimal. H.

formatzero Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Got a daughters wedding this year so cars will have to go on back burner for now ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Drive it when weather/time allows. Keep it clean. Maybe a remap at some point. That's about it really. I did enough to it in 2016 to keep me happy. I also need to sell my current daily (mk5 Golf GTI) and buy something else that is equally as boring but better on fuel.

abtin90 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Finish my metal wide arch setup. Fit my own built custom 13J Weds wheels. Finish my Q45 custom led headlights with facelift/abflug hybrid inserts Finish polishing the 4.5" VWR system Install proximity LEDs to door handles. Install new Infinity ecu and hope I hit 600hp with the new built r154. Can't wait!!!!!! Now that sounds interesting. Do you have a build thread going?

k222bye Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 My Plan for this year: Buy a UK Spec AUTO TT. Get insured And the main things I plan on doing to the car is: Undersealing Engine bay clean up Interior refabrication Led lights rear Halo lights front. Alloys and tyres. Body kit Paint/wrap (depending on how bad paint is) Not really looking to go BPU+++ because it will be my first Supra so I'll take it easy and get used to the platform. Hope you've all had a good Christmas and happy late new year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 My Plan for this year: Buy a UK Spec AUTO TT. Halo lights front. Body kit wrap Why not just buy a j spec one? Will be cheaper to buy too. Uk's are rare and already look distinctive from the other models. Plus I think you'll have a problem buying one from a forum member if you tell them you intend to cut up their pride and joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I think you'll have a problem buying one from a forum member if you tell them you intend to cut up their pride and joy LOL thank you for the advice. The thing is, im 22, so I've been told UK Spec is cheaper to insure. If i can get a J spec TT and I can get it insured between £2k-£3k I'll take it. Insurance is the main struggle so I've prepared for it. I've been driving a company car for 2 years so thats how I've gotten away with it thus far.

hamzahkhan Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 After two and a bit of ownership finally start my cars build thread! After a full SRD refresh and BPU in 15, last year I got big breaks, new suspension and some cosmetic upgrades. This year, further tidy up the outside with probably a re-spray and refurb the wheels. When I am out of ideas probably start planning for a single. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Rear Subframe refresh with new OEM bushes and powdercoat Fresh underseal, taken back prepped and sprayed New dash panels and fit stainless dress up parts New metal monekey dials and AC led conversion Send off all engine turbo, inlet and intercooler parts for powdercoat Fit all engine dress up parts I've had sitting around for years. A bag of enthusiasm aswell wouldn't go amiss! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Style Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Refresh and restore the underside. I've got the parts already but might add an OS Giken diff as well. Rebuild the engine and crank the boost up Hoping I can get it done before Dragonball but my main aim is to have the car on the road and out enjoying it while the better months are here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Not a lot. This year was all about suspension and bpu. With full poly bush coilovers and the bpu done the only thing really left is the inside refresh. That said I would like to replace all the vac lines and vsv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Nothing much on mine this year apart from changing fluids and using it! Really liking the setup of the car at the moment! Only thing I might do is update the OEM LSD to an OS Giken LSD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnPreece Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 2017 is a big one for me bodyshop next week for kit sorting and getting engine bay done too whilst the engine is going away for fully built 3.4 stroker ready for 1000+bhp plus a load of minor bits too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattP Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) Just general Maintenance on the Supra nothing particularly interesting I should really fit the SRD Bumper trays I bought months ago. On the other hand I have 4 new Stainless exhaust manifolds for the 2 V8s to fit to the big boat when the weather warms up and I have just been told my Dad has bought another small 19ft powerboat nothing special just a generic 3.0 thing that I have to tidy up. In comparison Boats have allot more space to work on I suppose. Edited January 4, 2017 by MattP (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattP Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 You're right JP but I'm running out of space. We've just bought a new Motorhome so that's taking up A few useful meters on the drive. Bikes: ZX12R A1, Hayabusa K9, ZX10 B2, RSV-Carbon, GSXR11, TLR1000R, CBR9 (93 edition), Thunderace, Hayabusa RX (Gold), ST1300. The ZX12 and Busa RX will never leave me JP :-) I noticed the camper a few weeks ago as I regularly spy on your drive as I drive past. You must be going soft Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
