Bad bits: Passenger side sideskirt has a crack in it where I dropped a front wheel in a pot hole in a car park a few years ago. Both wing mirrors could do with a repaint. From a few yards away they look fine but have had a poor paint job in the past and the paint is suffering a chemical reaction over the years. PRICE SOLD Please PM for contact details. Payment will be via bank transfer only. Cheers, Hugh

  11. Time for an update on bits and pieces i've done to the Supra. Can't believe I only managed 1 post before forgetting to update anything. I've been picking up the odd part here and there ready for some time to fit it all. Fitted a smaller front plate which looks much cleaner in my opinion. Really like the look of facelift rear lights on a silver supra so started looking for a second hand set. Managed to pick up a new set from Greg at a decent price so collected those and fitted them. In addition, I didn't really like the blue gel badges I had on the car so picked up some OEM ones from Whifbitz at the same time. Next up was a used Mishimoto rad and Whifbitz side mounted intercooler. My original intercooler really did start to disintegrate as soon as I touched it. The fit of the Whifbitz unit was great but i found when removing my old unit that the ducting was missing. The car was off the road so I tried to find a used air duct to save having to pay mr T £100 for a new one. Eventually one appeared at a fraction of the price of a new one so bought that straight away. As i was fitting the Mishimoto rad of course i had to fit a gearbox cooler as i was losing the original one in my OEM rad. The SRD kit works perfectly. My next challenge was finding some new seats. I didn't find the OEM seats very comfy so wanted to change to something else. I saw a few pictures of Recaro Trendlines in Supras and decided that was what I needed to do and I had the same seats in an Ep3 type r and found them pretty comfortable. I did have some reservations about how high the seats would sit as i'm 6,5 but read a thread on the US Supra forum in which somebody had fitted them with Bride RO rails, measured the difference in height and found them almost identical to the OEM position. The best trim in my opinion was the combo found in a Clio or Megane but they don't appear on Ebay very often. Luckily, not long after i started looking a set in excellent condition came up for sale in Devon. I agreed a good price and set off early on a Saturday morning to collect them. Next up, I ordered some Bridge RO rails and once they arrived immediately got the cutting disc out and chopped the rear bar out (nervously). I also found I had to space the seats off the rails with 5mm washers to clear the seatbelt mounting tab. I'm really happy with the result. Next up was to replace the front splash shield on the passenger side as it was pretty damaged. Ordered a new one from Amayama and got that fitted. At the same time i fitted some new OEM rear pads as those were running fairly low. The final update for now was to get the dash panels hydrodipped and fit a new steering wheel. The blue painted finish on my dash panels had seen better days so decided a satin carbon look would be nice. For a new wheel i choose a Personal 350mm. I think the dash, steering wheel and seats all now complement each other. I'll try not to leave it too long to update next time!
