benkei Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) After a long trip to JM Imports yesterday, I had an amazing 4 hour drive home in my white 6-speed twin turbo beast! I have just cleaned her up and taken pictures, but as my PC is still dead and I can't upload them from my iPhone, the pics will have to wait! Specs from what I can remember right now are: Top Secret body kit HKS Priest exhaust system Triple plate clutch Aftermarket LSD 18" Genova Auto Strada magnesium wheels Big brakes Braided brake hoses Apexi FC Apexi turbo timer Nardi steering wheel Driver's side Recaro bucket seat Passenger's side Recaro half bucket seat She's amazing to drive! There is so much power and it's right on tap. Even 60mph in 6th gear, just half throttle and you soar upto and over 100 leptons in seconds! Just need to get the wheels aligned as she pulls to the side a bit. I want to give a big thanks to Jurgen for sorting me out, and will get some pics up asap!

benkei Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 Finally got my PC back! So I've worked on the car a bit and took some new photos to share with you all So firstly, I just about managed to get the scissor-jack under the Supe and took one of the front wheels off to see what suspension is on... It looks like the Bilstein shocks, with some aftermarket springs? Still, it's a REALLY hard ride! And I don't mean just a hard ride, it's VERY HARD! So my next purchase will probably be some adjustable coilovers to keep a good low ride height, but slightly soften the ride. Any recommendations? As there was not much else I could do until then, I gave her a good clean, as she was filthy (joys of owning a white car!), then stickered her up with my Supra forum stickers (you can't see them in the pics ) and my local car club sticker! Enjoy Super Clean Engine Bay!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 It looks like the Bilstein shocks, with some aftermarket springs? Still, it's a REALLY hard ride! And I don't mean just a hard ride, it's VERY HARD! So my next purchase will probably be some adjustable coilovers to keep a good low ride height, but slightly soften the ride. Any recommendations? They look like stock Bilstein/Toyota dampers with Cusco springs. If they are Bilstein dampers they'll have Toyota/Bilstein sticker on them like pic below. If the dampers are in good working order then you could make the ride more compliant and suited to UK roads with some softer springs such as Tein, Eibach or contact Chris Wilson. http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/1017/cimg00037nc.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benkei Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 i love the wheels dude very nice car white is definately the best colour Thanks! I wasn't sure on the wheels when I first saw them on the JM Imports website, but when I saw them for real I really liked them! Love a white Supra! Be careful with the speed bumps with that front bumper though mate Yeh, she's sitting pretty low! I have to go really really slowly on and off my drive because it scrapes! Looks amazing though, I'm really happy with it! They look like stock Bilstein/Toyota dampers with Cusco springs. If they are Bilstein dampers they'll have Toyota/Bilstein sticker on them like pic below.

Thanks for the coilover advice Nic, I've replied in the relevant thread. Once I've decided I can update here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
