NOS Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Hi all I have just bought my first Supra - 1997, 3.0litre, twin turbo, 406bhp. I am interested in hearing people's opinions about what project to undertake next - e.g. interior, exterior, engine, etc. Comments welcome. [COOL][/COOL] Pictures below.

michael Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Welcome. I am interested in hearing people's opinions about what project to undertake next - e.g. interior, exterior, engine, etc. Without seeing the interior or hearing more about the engine there is one major job that jumps out as needing doing - find all the bits made by Veilside and replace them with standard bits. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps I am in agreement (I think) regarding the wing especially. I am considering replacing it with a more subtle carbon fibre rear wing. Veilside is ''2001'' according to our U.S. counterparts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 So new? I would have said '94 personally Each to their own though, if you like it then we'll just pull your leg now and again, those wings are a bit OTT though, something more subtle would transform the whole car. Ultimately it's your car, do what you like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOS Posted April 3, 2010 Author Share Posted April 3, 2010 If all things Veilside go, and I purchase more subtle additions, where is the best place to get the equipment fitted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev_A Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 (edited) Do it yourself, it's easy enough and a good learning curve if you haven't done it before, failing that I'm sure 1 or 2 of our Irish members would be willing to lend a hand Example: To remove the rear spoiler you'll just need to remove the plastic trim on the inside of the tailgate then locate 4 (IIRC 10mm) bolts, undo them and the spoiler will come off, refitting is just the reverse! Dead easy BTW, after removing the V/S rear spoiler make sure you cover it in something flammable then drop a lit match on it Edited April 3, 2010 by Kev_A (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
