You staying black or different colour? Thanks Pete!! I want to drive it so bad, but as soon as it goes out I should take out the engine, dont know if go single now, or repair the turbos and built a new engine aside while Im enjoying the car. And I stay with the 202 Black just for “Value” I love RSP Blue but dont want crazy changes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I stay with the 202 Black just for “Value” I love RSP Blue but dont want crazy changes I know what you mean mate, not driven mine for over a year now and I’m itching to get it back out on the road to drive and enjoy. Personally I’d repair your turbos and get it back on the road whilst building a second engine with the single kit. That way you get to have it back quicker to drive, and you can sell your existing engine/twin setup to recoup some cost when the new built engine is ready to install. 202 black is a great colour, just a headache keeping it looking fresh, but I hear you on wanting to keep it original from a value perspective my friend. Best of luck with the respray and rebuild and let us know what you decide on the engine/single build, I’m planning to do mine at some point, but think I’ll wait so I can drive and show the car for a bit first. Cheers for now. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter P Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Sounds like a plan mate, glad you got it sorted and hopefully the blue smoke will go and you can enjoy the car whilst you build the new engine/single setup. Winning! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter P Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Know all about this mate, had the same things with mine. Funny how for me it was the right rear quarter area that was poorly repaired, and yours is on the left side. We had a pair of bad ones between us I guess. Looks like your getting it all sorted and the work now will be so worth it when it’s painted, at least it was for me. Keep the updates coming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krimi Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 Today I’m a little bit upset with the paintshop owner, because I feel like my car its a “second dish” there and he’a not paying that much attention to the car, so we just talked today about my feelings hahaha first-second week of august it should be finished. Actual status. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you not tempted to go single turbo? I hope that the result of all of this work will be impecable, but lets see! And yes! Of course, Im really tempted to go single asap, but after having my old Supra, the experience told me to do it in another engine aside of the car, because I don't want to “destroy” my engine and also want a point to go back in the future, so I will keep my actual engine in my house with wiring, ecu, blablabla just for the future hahaha Hope that good news come in a few weeks related to the car and project. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krimi Posted August 3, 2021 Author Share Posted August 3, 2021 Good news today! I ordered my set of Work Meister S1 3P wheels, 18x9,5” and 18x11” Polished lip, polished bolts, and MGM Core Super happy with this. This is a Sample of my choice but in 19” 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter P Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Nice! I also ordered these, but with copper barrels, grey centres and black bolts. It’s been 8 or so months since I placed my order, but hoping they get to me next week. Where did you order yours mate? Hope you don’t mind waiting, as they seem to take a really long time to make and get here from Japan. I think they are worth the wait, but I’ll be glad to see them as not cheap! Should look amazing on your car. Congrats! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed to receive it asap, I didn't order it from DriftWorks, because it is really difficult to talk with them, I managed to find a contact in the Work Factory and send them the money directly to them, they give me an ETA of 2-3 months shipped directly from Japan to my house im canaries. Lets cross fingers hahahaha. Good choices Mr Peter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that they are good, but no quick response at all nowadays, and they are intermediaries from Work, so it delays a lot the process, because they group in a container various wheels to ship it, so it makes a difference of months between one option and other 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered mine back in February and still not got them. Hoping they land next week, but will see. It’s certainly been a long time, but I’m sure it will be worth it when they do finally get here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
