RobSheffield Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Is that a trick question? Not really no, Is the bumper on straight, or is the bumper itself out of alignment? Could be the numberplate as you mentioned in you post way up there ^ Or the fact the mesh is a bit wobbly creating an optical illusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conrad Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 As already said, got to be one of the nicest cars on the forum. Just to confirm it's Candy Apple Red isn't it? Always my fave colour. I think the wheels suit it perfectly, what's the engine spec? And how is it manual RHD aerotop, did you convert it yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndwgolf Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 There's a big story around the reconstruction of this car, i will be back at work next week so i will tell you all about it then. Until next week Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndwgolf Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 Looks stunning not sure about the rear badges, although I suspect the Thai chicks will love them It just needs a better set of horns and a shiny upper rad/FMIC panel IMO. Badges are staying.......... Can you give me some ideas of what i can get for a upper panel, i heard that there is one called a ARK or something like that, any info will be much appreciated Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndwgolf Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 Wow! thats beautiful, wheels look like a chrome version of jakes, as candy red always needs chrome. Amazing! As we are too far away to get a spin, lets see the dyno sheet and full spec! I should have the Dyno sheet next week we got 508 RWHP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do a titanium rad panel http://www.arcinter.co.jp/arc/products/titanium/hoodpanel/list/toyota.html A few other companies do them to GReddy http://www.trust-power.com/04cooling/airdiversion_plate.html Carbing http://www.okuyama-go.to/products/radiator/detail/4210090.shtml PHR http://www.powerhouseracing.com/files/nwindow/catalog.php?id=../media/catalog/Toyota/Supra%20TT/37new%20stuff%200306%20081.jpg cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndwgolf Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 So I took off from Bangkok at around 6 pm on a Friday night (not a good time to leave) but I had to take my car to have the wheel alignment checked seeing as I had just had the new HKS Hypermax ll installed, anyway I found the wheel shop to do the wheel alignment but missed the turning out of there for the road south and ended up loosing over an hour trying to get back to where I needed to be. Anyway I eventually got going south but every time I went over some rough road (and there is plenty of it leaving Bangkok) the wheels keep hitting under the chassis, basically this happened all the way to Phuket (980 km). We stayed in a hotel about 150 k south of Bangkok for the night and left early in the morning for Phuket We stopped for lunch just outside of Phuket and after lunch took off for home, I got maybe 500 meters down the road and smoke started pouring out of the bonnet vents, I stopped the car and popped the hood and there was smoke bellowing out around the turbo/exhaust manifold. I sat there for about an hour wondering what to do and called many people asking advice when a guy stopped and asked if he could help me, while he was having a look around the engine compartment I got my wife to turn the engine over and it was then that I could see where the problem was. When they installed the oil line going to the turbo it was touching against the rear part of the turbo and had melted away the inner part of the steel braided hose causing oil to pour over the exhaust manifold which off course is wrapped in heat resistant lagging. To cut a long story short, the guy that stopped to help me, took off the damaged braided line and went to a hydraulic shop and got a rubber hose made up so that I could get my car home, the bad thing was that when I was driving into Phuket town in heavy traffic I had this beautiful shinny car that was still bellowing out smoke (due to the lagging being covered in oil) and all these Thai guys pointing at my car laughing and pointing “F**k I was embarrassed!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway since then I have had the car raised one inch, I have ordered a new braided hose and am back at work for a month, so hopefully when I get home I will be able to have some fun with my car, I am just hoping that the rest of the old oil on the lagging will burn off after a few miles of driving??
