Hi people,

 

I have had my Supra off the road for a good 18months due to work taking over my life and having a 520d which never seems to run outta fuel.

 

The reason I am starting this post is that my journey of getting my supra back on the road is almost at an end and I wondered if anyone else is on the same journey.

 

I have a full set of j-spec calipers which will be donated to such a member also.

 

Thanks for looking

Mines been off the road for 5 months now the engine rebuild is almost complete, but still have lots to do, like fit new FMIC, new rad, then got new front bumper and skirts to fit also want to refub the wheels!! feels like i havnt driven the car for at least a year. And now been in hospital so looking to have it back on the road before christmas. :D

Well since the Supra has been off the road so long, I decided that I would treat her to a decent rebirth so I am taking her on a trailer from my house in East Lothian to a nice man called Chris Wilson :D.

 

whats the plans dude, when down with Chris??

I will be staying BPU buddy buy just getting her to run sweet as a nut, so:

 

Full Service

 

- All Fluids changed, Auto-box full flush

- Power Enterprises Kevlar Aux belt with new tensioner

- HKS timing belts with new cam belt tensioner

- NGK Iradium spark plugs

- Toyota Oil, Fuel filter, Trd panel filter

- New Toyota water pump

 

Also Chris will be asked:

 

To perform a full Geo (no pun intended ) set-up and to set up my Racelogic traction control.

 

Straighten my bent jacking points/sills.

 

Replace all my J-spec brake set-up for the UK brake set-up

 

- New Front & Rear Toyota discs

- CW fast road pads all round

- Goodrich Stainless lines

- Front & Rear calipers re-furb kit.

 

Other issues which have come to my attention and shall be replaced are :

 

- broken alternator (replacement sourced)

- fog light wiring missing near-side lamp

- replacement boot rubbers

- adding of auto-box cooler and oil cooler

 

And finally if she needs one then a replacement new SMIC.

 

Then to the bodyshop.....
