LOGIE

Would using v8 soarer springs on front suspension be a good idea? Seeing as the 1uz is about 70-80 kg lighter than a 2jz-gte or am I talking bollocks?

Ahhhh. Thats the hidden relay on the back of the drivers footwell fusebox right? Very hard access.

Yes mate I changed everything. All looms, ecus within the car. My NA was the same no headlight chime and didnt turn themselves off. TT does both now.

Get an auto for all the above reasons ie cheap as chips to replace. There are aftermarket paddle shift options now for the auto which ive heard good things about.

Yep had been left on at the stalk but actual lights were off. I checked to make sure they were working and they were.

(I meant MODIFIED tapatalk wont let me edit title) ).Weird one. When my car was an NA I was guilty of forgetting to turn the headlights or sidelights off from time to time. I would look at the car a few hours after getting home and realise ive left the sidelights on. Seems since the TT conversion my lights must time out/turn themselves off? I got in the car tonight and the sidelight stalk was in on position but lights were off. I havent been in the car for over a week. Very weird. Do TTs turn off their own lights? I can't get my head around this.

I got a set of Power house racing ones from MVP motorsports. Cant recall the price I paid. Drop them a pm.

Roger NE come on doooown! Oh sorry your banned.

I love that. Ive had 2 mkIIIs both NA and turbo 7M engines. The V8 suits it nicely.

Thanks Chris. Intercooler is amazing as you should know and the Tanabe exhaust is amazing quality and quiet which I like. Yep my intension was to make this exactly the same as any STOCK TT that toyota made. I could have sold the NA and bought a very nice TT with the money I put into the conversion (crank seals, renewed rad hoses), even changing useless stuff like carbon cannister and hoses. This car is sentimental to me (owned it since 2007 and im the 2nd uk owner. 1st owner only drove it about 2k miles in 2 years) which is another reason I didnt want to sell so I opted for the conversion.

Thanks Jason, The wheels I bought from JohnnyG who I think got them off Michael. They are a kind of smoked chrome colour but your right they prob look better painted back to stock colour but funds are really that bad that I cant afford it. I wont even have a car at all once this is gone.

Thanks mate gives me something to work from.

I dont think id get anywhere near £6K to be honest mate, with it being an NA-TT. The engine is a good one though fresh import from japan. If I could get out my job and into a decent one id be keeping it.

Cheers Tony its not through choice mate. I recently made a BAD career move and wages are not even near minimum wage. So somethings got to go and Im staying an anal virgin.

Just found these pics in my phone. I will get more asap

Right another selling thread. I will do an ad in the classifieds when ive decided on a price. Just need some help with pricing... Id best start by saying my car is an NA-TT auto. 11 months MOT Tax is up at the end of August but I might renew this week. Its a 100% stock bodied 199 Silver prefaclift car. *Stock 17 inch wheels *Shell has done 75k miles *2JZ-GTE engine had done 60K when I imported it from Japan via Jurgen (its now done 60.5K, ie ive only done 500 miles) its 100% runs perfectly, both turbos spool up nicely. *TT auto box works perfecty *A02B diff (TT Auto LSD) *TT rad with shroud and electric fans *Active front spoiler (retro fitted) *Cruise control (retro fitted) *Tracton control (retro fitted) *OEM original Black carpet (not yet fitted) Modifications * Chris Wilson SMIC * 3" Tanabe touring exhaust * 2.5" first decat and a 3" second decat with a 1 bar restrictor ring between the cats * OEM yellow bilsteins with unknown springs but the car sits nicely and handles well. A little about the conversion I done the conversion myself for 2 reasons, 1st I could not find a mechanic near me that I trusted to take his time and do the conversion correctly. 2nd I wanted to learn from doing it myself which I did, I actually prefer working on cars now more than driving them. The conversion is a very thorough one EVERYTHING has been changed to make this car the same as an original TT. I changed the looms behind the dash so I could have traction control, ive changed the clocks/dials, autobox, prop, diff, airbox, EVERYTHING. If I manage to sell the car will come with.. Original 2JZ-GE engine which is 100% with all ancillaries NA autobox NA prop NA LSD (A01B) NA rad and shroud etc It will come with EVERYTHING needed to turn it back to a 100% NA. TT auto box (spare) TT auto Prop (spare) 2 spare sets of oem 16" wheels. Faults? None really recent MOT said both rear tyres are near legal tread depth 1.8mm and 3mm. The paint needs a refurb but its not terrible some lacquer peel on passenger door around wing mirror. Paint is thin and flaking on wing mirrors though. again I'll do a proper ad in classifieds when I get a chance and get some decent pics. My intensions were to get this as close to a GZ (top of the range) as I could and all I needed was a set of leather seats and big brakes and I was there.. but circumstances have changed and it needs to go im afraid This will be a job lot guys im not breaking as it took me long enough to build this car but if someones buys it they will need to bring a van for all the extra stuff that comes with it. Price?? I have no idea to be honest so opinions and questions are welcome (I know pics will help but its pissing down and dark so I will post some asap) Thanks for reading. Im depressed now.

Nice intro. Get some pictures up of your new chariot. Im sure there will be quite a few members around your area.

Thank you good sir

Put aside a weekend or 2 and ask if some local club members would be good enough to help? Seems ive asked for you.

Does anybody have pics of what exactly needs soldered? ive been through about 3 of these little light modules and even attempted to solder myself. unsuccessfully.

I wanted to put my name down for this right from the start but my recent career move was a very bad one. I don't even make anywhere near minimum wage so I shouldn't even be in ownership of a supra never mind roadtrips like this. Ive done a run to Applecross before and its well worth it. If yous get it going you'll love it.

its not a case of what gearbox will fit. You need to get a custom bellhousing bade to marry XXXX gearbox to engine.

I "think" youd need to remove the autobox and torque converter to fully drain it. Alternatively running the engine with one of the ATF coolant pipes hanging down into a basin might drain it but id imagine it will seriously damage the autobox. I may be wrong. Dont do this without hearing from a pro.

Ive read good things about vibra technics mounts. May be worth looking into.
