Loving the Kansai lip - easily the best addition to a stock front bumper. I wouldn't discount spats for your rear end by the way. Personally I think that's what the car is missing, something to tie together the lines front-to-rear. Nothing too lairy, just a set of OE ones would look great.

2BarTuning, LikwidArt "horny" Toyota badge and the Supra logo overlaid on the brake light: And my tow sticker too I guess.

I used Halfords own-brand caliper paint when I did mine by the way and found that to be very good. It's cheaper in price to the above-mentioned Foliatec stuff and applies more like Hammerite (no hardener). You're limited on colour choice but it may be easier to get hold of if you're in a rush. Anyway. Recommended!

Wow your car fixes itself! Glad it seems to be resolved matey. Fingers crossed.

Yeah that.

Awesome! What's that app?

Some good pics matey, it looks like this month was well attended. Hopefully I'll make next month's meet...

They're as per stock...

+1 I painted my UKs in blue (my accent colour that I've now also carried through with my K-Sports) and I think it looks, without exaggerating, 1,000,000 times better than stock.

Nice work matey, love the updates. I particularly like your 'NA-T' logo on the cam belt cover - it's the little touches!

Sweet! Looking forward to that one landing on the mat.

Frankly, that's criminal...

Thanks guys.

Thanks Josh.

Very much "to each his own" I think...

Something that I've wanted to do for a while is to fit a set of bonnet pins, partly for that added sense of security from a "the bonnet is much less likely to fly up at speed" point of view and partly because I think it looks really mean! So, having found and ordered a set that I liked from eBay for less than £9 delivered, I got around to fitting them yesterday. Having dropped the headlights out (for what seems like the millionth time this summer!), I measured and drilled the holes in the front support bracket thing (someone will be able to tell me the correct name for this I'm sure ) and loosely fitted the pins. I was able to make use of the pre-drilled hole that ordinarily houses the bonnet stay on the driver's side, which was a bit of a bonus: With that done I marked up the corresponding area on the underside of the bonnet: Point of no return time... Guide hole drilled in the outer section of bonnet: And then the (frankly huge) 16mm hole to fit the pin: I decided to angle the top portion of the pin assembly, as that allowed me to have the square-section of the top of the pins themselves parellel to the front of the front support bracket, guaranteeing symmetry. After a bit of to-ing and fro-ing getting the pins set to the correct height, everything was finally bolted down: With all of the metal filings cleaned from my engine bay and the headlights put back in, the end result (unwashed as my car may currently be... ) looks like this: I'm chuffed with the results and it really does add an extra air of menace to the front of my car! More pics to follow when she's washed and I get a chance to take some...

It seems like ages since I posted an update, so here goes... Apart from a few more gucci bolts / cup washers in the engine bay (decent pic to follow shortly), I took delivery of my new car mats courtesy of DC Automotive. I went for black mats with a blue trim (better than my now very tatty grey-and-mud "Supra Pure Sport" ones) and, for something truly unique and to give my car her true identity, my custom Suki logo on the edge, also in blue. I understand this won't necessarily be to everyone's taste, but I think it looks ace! So, pics: Massive thanks to Dane at DC Automotive - he did me a good deal seeing as I only wanted / needed the front mats rather than all four (pointless seeing as I have no rear seats! ) and the quality is top notch.

Ah damn, I forgot about that job being related... Good job there will be a mad scientist on hand to assist.

Nearside = near to the kerb; offside = not near to the kerb. Dry / wet weights just vary country-to-country. The only way to be sure would be to weigh your own car. Apparently it's possible to do that at a truck weigh station although of course you wouldn't know exactly how accurate the scales actually are.

Meh, that's no problem. If the "100-shot of Nos" causes your floor-pan to fall out just shout at / close a laptop on your passenger seat and keep your foot down. It'll be fine...

+1 after I do an oil change. Usually I just check it before even turning the key, so cold.

I've been away for just over a week now with no phone signal or 3G. First thing I did when I got back? Look at this thread to see what was going on! Car looks and sounds awesome, John - loving the BOOOOOOOOSSTT vid!! Keep 'em coming.

Fair point! Think that, but more so...

That WAS as a result of a "drift related crash" though (according to the same post), which would destroy most things I'm sure.
