Hy, I thought i’d put a thread up showing the progress with my Supra, I have owned it from July 2012 and i have time for a bit of progress, this is more of a way for me to document all i will do to my Supra and how much i love it:D I did´t know almoust nothing about Supra when i bought it. I need your help and sugestions please:D

 

My Supra is a J-spec Auto Single Turbo with ¨L¨ number plate (don´t know what this means), it had a full engine rebuild at TDI, HKS metal head gasket, APR head studs, 3 Bar Map Sensor, EMUSA Turbo boosting around 450 hp, new crack pully, timing belt,tensioner etc. I am trying to improve it because i love working for my Supra.

Things to do : Heat wraped exhaust manifold,down pipe and wastegate, turbo heat wrap, Twin Electric Fans for Alloy Radiator, Shorter intercooler piping, better brakes,etc.

 

How my car looked in my first day of ownership:

The clean certainly helped :)

 

I'd be getting one colour of hose next as that always ruins a nice bay in my

opinion

 

i know, i like to be maximum 3 colours in the engine bay. Do you think a white spark plug cover with black nut´s will be better in red or black engine bay?

Good work :) Looking better for sure!

 

As for the 'L' plate - it represents the age of the vehicle ;) An 'L' plate denotes a vehicle registered between August 1st 1993 and July 31st 1994. :)

 

thank you for the info :D It is a Jap spec, and the car was in England since his first year of glory:D
