neilg Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 My long wait is now over the supra is at home safe and sound:thumbs: Well happy with the results! 1993 j spec 6 speed TT Silver 18" BBS wheels with 275 +255 rubber HKS Exhaust, bov and filter 320 kmh blitz speedo. Recaro drivers seat Other bits and bobs. Strange front bumper and stupid headlight covers ( which have already been pulled off) Work has started already, headlights off for cleaning, fog light, alarm removed, horn wired in, going for MOT tomorrow then hopefully to register with DVLA (if it gets through) Then for a few more bits i have waiting to go on it and a really good tidy up (really really good tidy up). Attached picture is from when i just arrived home, car is filthy and looks a mess but ill put it up anyway for you all to see. Ill take some more when it is finished and on the road. Hope to start seeing some of you around now when im sorted ill get myself to some meets etc. All for now:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 You must be well chuffed. Let the good time roll:thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Looks great. I love the wheels! Do you know what widths the wheels are? 255 tyres on the front is a bit wider than most folks go with. I'm not a fan of that bumper TBH but the rest of the car look ace. Remind me what that bumper's called..... Recaro seats too? Nice Agree with you about the headlight covers, ghey. Does the 320kph speedo also have mph marking? Did you import it yourself? Any problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Looks sweet! Are those wheels just dirty or are they finished in a gunmetal colour? I've seen that bumper before. on a blue one at Billing. with the headlight issues, hehe remove those things at once - and fit some UK's while you're at it Go with tyres that just about cover the rim at the front, if you're running wide as wheels, then fair enough, theres no point putting on too fat tyres at the front as you'll compromise the handling. Hope it brings you lots of fun, Im sure it will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly can't tell any difference with them off. They did bugger all, maybe kept the water coming from the windscreen off the window a bit. Be careful with them, all it takes is a friend to lean on one getting in the car and it'll snap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilg Posted August 11, 2004 Author Share Posted August 11, 2004 The wheels are silver just dirty If i get chance ill have the wheels off today and see what sizes they actually are. The speedo does not read in mph. The wind deflectors went straight in the bin along with the headlight covers. LOL I did import it myself. my main issue was i bought it just after christmas and it got here 2 days ago. That was one hell of a wait. plus i had to ship in a container which cost a fortune so it didnt work out cheaper at all to do it. (more if anything) Bumper was hanging of in the port, rear spat smashed in half, battery left on side in back,acid has leaked and burnt through carpet:eek: Appart from that happy, undecided about the front bumper yet until i have it cleaned up etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
