jakewebster Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Hi guys, get my 1995 j-spec TT auto in about 2 weeks , what modifications would you recomend for someone with a 1k budget? It has a nice set of wheels and some descent suspension already! Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 What's the spec of the car at the moment do you have any pics of wheels/brakes and engine bay? If it was me I'd fit the bigger 4pot/2pot brakes, that's assuming it has the smaller one fitted at the moment. Get use to driving the car first (it will feel quick in stock trim), then later look at exhaust, decat, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakewebster Posted May 8, 2006 Author Share Posted May 8, 2006 Forgot to say it has a decat exhaust already! New to the supra game, i know a lot of cars benefit from an uprated fuel pump if you plan to crank up the boost, whats the story? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakewebster Posted May 8, 2006 Author Share Posted May 8, 2006 Ahh "Nic" was going to see you about one of your carbon dash jobs and an auto knob that you do! Its black by the way, will post pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Walboro's fine for BPU How about getting the paint work touched up then if it needs it? Or a nice interior retrim? ICE? Or polished engine parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrickTT Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Unless you know the history of the car/ previous owner, its always worth budgeting a few hundred quid for servicing/parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockys96 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 yep, watch out for seized suspension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Uk brakes or racelogic traction control and a service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 check your intercooler, rad and brakes, upgrade these if they are on there way out, if the car is more than 12 years old they probably are....far better to spend the money on these imo;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakewebster Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 Cheers Folks, a lot of people seem to be ssaying bigger brakes are a good idea, are the standard ones that bad? Cheers "ahh aristo" should hopefully have her by then!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 am I seeing things or are they 'angel eye' brake lights..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Unless you know the history of the car/ previous owner, its always worth budgeting a few hundred quid for servicing/parts. First thing I did was cambelt and full service with CW. Then decent tyres. Sorry to be boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Cheers Folks, a lot of people seem to be ssaying bigger brakes are a good idea, are the standard ones that bad? Mate there are two sorts of standard setups. The better one is called the 'UK brake' setup as ALL uk cars came with these larger disks / calipers...... ..........however some Jap cars have these as a factory option and whilst i can't be sure it 'looks' like you may have this larger stock option.

mikeyb10supra Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I went for a cambelt change, oil, coolant and plug change and filled up with a nice clean tank of optimax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakewebster Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 Here is a close up of the wheel, ate they the bigger ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 First thing I did was cambelt and full service with CW. Then decent tyres. Sorry to be boring. yeah that's me too... and now I'm renewing all the suspension (sadly, quite knackered)... no mods on mine, just upkeep...
