Nic Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 On a car of this age I would: 1. Full service, fluids, plugs, filters, O2 sensor 2. Get car on a ramp and check out the condition of the suspension, replace components as needed. 3. Fit the larger spec 4pot/2pot Supra brakes if it is fitted with the smaller spec 2pot/1pot ones. Plus braided lines, good set of pads and fluid. 4. Quality set of tyres and full geometry check. 5. Check condition of the intercooler, replace if needed. Once car is in tip top mechanical condition then go BPU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Spot on there Nic (except I would swap no.2 and no.4 in the order, and add the geometry check as a seperate item after the suspension is checked out) Get the car fullty sorted out, then think about upgrading. Believe me it costs a significant amount if you get things in the wrong order! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Spot on there Nic (except I would swap no.2 and no.4 in the order, and add the geometry check as a seperate item after the suspension is checked out) Yes not really a fixed list, the order of priority would really depend on condition on the car, tyres fitted, brakes fitted, etc. My priority though would be to make sure the car is mechanically sound before even thinking about any 'upgrades' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c8sup Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 Once car is in tip top mechanical condition then go BPU Going to leave the car into AFR for a mechanical service. Then i will def go BPU (gaz1 told me how fun BPU was) . The car came with TEIN Street damper fully adjustable suspension, HKS Drager exhaust & induction kit, so i think a FMIC would be the next thing. Thank god i found out about this website, good to get feedback:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
