Much better 'after' :thumbs:

 

What power are you making with the GT28s at 1.5 bar? :)

 

Thanks!

 

I'm not sure. There is no dyno bench here on Iceland :/ actually there is one, but it's a mess I've heard

Nice Supra mate. Any big plans for winter?

 

No, nothing big this winter. Only put in the TRD diff, new coil packs and so on. Just small stuff. Maybe something next year, I hope :)

Just a small update,

 

Picked up the plates a few days ago and put them on. Had my mechanic put in the TRD diff for me, OEM Torsen diff was trashed

Both cooling lines for the turbos dripped and were replaced among with PHR radiator hoses. I put in my new Superspark coil packs and new spark plugs (it was breaking up under boost). I also put in white LEDs in the reverse lights. My Stoptech brakes (rotors, pads and lines) should arrive any day now and they will be put in when I get them.

 

Hope everyone likes pictures:)

Moved the boost gauge from the a-pillar to the air vent

Just in Rekjavik at the moment. Just driven around the whole of the island in 10 days. Amazing country with awesome views. Also love the language, although it's a right tongue twister at times.

 

Not seen any Supras but the snow and ice around most of the island would account for that.

 

Lovely car you have there. You have greatly improved the car from when you bought it, that's for certain.

Thank you! I live only 30-40min from Reykjavik. It's a little difficult language to learn ;) there are only 3 MKIV Supras here and 2 of them are in use only 3-4 months a year.

 

Lovely car.

 

Where have you put your side repeaters then? Here in the uk i don't think it would pass the mot due to this

 

It is required here, but I don't think they notice it ;)

 

Much much better. Love it and welcome :welcome:

 

Thank you sir!
