STU_3LTR_TT Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 will bring you up to speed with the car,purcased the car march 07 knowing about the roof conversion,not about the threads on here,decided to have it re painted as it was bad close up,took it down to paul at japimports,then decided to have some engine work done,hks td04 turbo 1000cc injectors cams intercooler ect ect had it mapped at tdi 650hp ,they had a load of problems due to bad wiring,car back to pauls still running auto box,not the best to say the least,wanted more power so purchased a drag supra from japan with a jun built 930 bhp unit in it ,the plan is to swap engines over,car is due jan some time,my car has been stripped all interior cleaned down ready to be seam welded,some kind of hidden cage,as it will have a complete interior going back in,the plans are to map the engine to 1000bhp,uprated brakes [purchased]bide low max seats [purchased] re paint,re trim,like i said unsure about the kit,colour will be blue,when i purchased the car was going to keep it as it was but the bug has got me,many thanks stu.

Alex Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Is this the black one with the roof cut in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STU_3LTR_TT Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 yes that the one,was done very good by the looks of it,thats why a cage is going in to be on the safe side,might even go to a targa top ,to tie in the foof to the screen,have left this with paul and the lads at japimports,have also purchased a 6 speed box and all the bits.

STU_3LTR_TT Posted December 24, 2007 Author Share Posted December 24, 2007 After Advise Please,at The Mo The Car Is Running On 19" Rims And Tein Superstreets I Think,what Is The Best Set Up To Use ,to Get The Power Down/handling,will Be Mainly Used As A Road Car,only On Dry Days,also Any Other Mods That Can Be Done To Improve The Above,merry Xmas To All.

dangerous brain Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 19" rims are not going to return anything like decent handling. As you are spending lots of very good money speak to chris wilson and see what sort of a compromise you could come up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you are spending lots of very good money speak to chris wilson and see what sort of a compromise you could come up with. tried some 18" on look to small with the big body kit,getting some made up,also got the drag car a week ago from japan,what a monster,supra is seam welded getting caged up next week,also a trial fit of engine,then engine bay painted.

dangerous brain Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Yeah like I say maybe Mr Wilson can do something with the setup even on 19"s (he might chunter a bit under his breath about the 19"s though ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
