  1. Going for white to match the rest of the car mate. Will probably be a PITA to keep clean, but it'll look good when it is.
  2. Yep all stainless Kaan. Seems a shame to cover up all that amazing welding and machining with ceramic, it's a work of art, but it'll be better for temps in the bay. Old down-pipe will be sold with the GT4780 turbo as part of a whole T6 setup. If anyone is interested in this check Hodges original build thread for the details of the kit and PM me, but be aware it's a BIG turbo lol...... probably more suited to someone with a stroker kit fitted.
  3. My new Whifbitz manifold, down-pipe, mid-pipe and screamer pipes have arrived at SRD ....... All of it except for the mid-pipe will go away to Zircotec now (along with the turbine housing and waste gate bodies) to be ceramic coated in white.
  4. 458 got the jump and the Sup still blew it's doors off! Love it!
  5. I'm in, but will probably be in the 350Z as I doubt the Supra will be finished by April.
  6. I would recommend going with insurance incase she tries anything on again, as she sounds like the type who would from things she's already said. However, just a heads up and something to bare in mind..... If you go through insurance, your renewal premium will go up by a small amount even if she is 100% at fault whether by her own admission or by insurance companies decision. This happened to me after a woman drove into the back of me a few years back. She admitted she was 100% to blame and all repairs went through insurance fine. Then when my renewal came it had gone up . I questioned it and my insurer told me it was because I'd been involved in an accident. I went nuts and said that she had admitted fault and I'd been stationary. They said it didn't matter, as once you've been in an accident, whether you are to blame or not, you are considered to be a 'higher risk' to insurance companies . Also you have to declare it by law for 5 years and this info is held on the insurance database , so going to another company doesn't help. I researched this after being told and sure enough it's true. It's crazy and so unfair!
  7. I quite like the setup you already have Luc. I think the Veilsides skirts blend well with your Trial rear bumper :-)
  8. Good to meet you and put a face to the name too Will. Has the orange S3 replaced your Supra or do you have both?
  9. Cheers Abz, was good to finally meet you too. Hopefully you'll still have yours by the time I get mine back :-)
  10. Lol no I'm lucky Dan, thankfully she's very tolerant with me and Supra related stuff..... it helps that she loves them as well. Will be on the lookout for a nice one for her soon. Preferably a stock body black or red example.... and if I can get her to stay clear of kerbs for at least 6 months we'll grace it with some CCWs and an RMM front lip :-)
  11. My brother had a go for me on Forza 5. That don't have a TRD kit option, but he did his best to 'simulate' one with what was available. I think he did a pretty good job :-) <!--url{0}-->[/img]</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <img src=[/img]
  12. Was good to meet you guys too and put some more faces to forum names. Hopefully next time I see you I'll be in a Supra lol
  13. On my way with the other half, but in my work hack (grey MG ZS 180) so please try to refrain from laughing as much as possible :-) lol
  14. I may come to this one as I'm off. I'll probably bring my other half too so she can see some of the clubs Sups..... she loves them. Only downside is I'll be in the ginger 350Z again, as my Sup is still at SRD........ Don't worry, I'll park the Dirty Datsun out of the way of the real cars lol :-)
  15. Have a good Christmas and new year SRD! :-)
  16. Won't put my name on the list until SRD are finished with her though.
  17. I'd be up for coming to this one once mine is finished, as my Family is down in Sussex, so can tie it in with a visit to see them :-)
  18. It does look great on yours Kaan. How much did it cost you for the chroming if you don't mind me asking mate?
  19. Turbo is getting stripped now, before it's even seen any exhaust gas lol Turbine housing is getting ceramic coated in white by Zircotec and compressor housing is getting chromed or mirror polished
  20. Cheers guys........ shouldn't be long before you have yours too Luc :-)
  21. Well, I'm sure I can repay the favour and take you for a spin in mine when mines done mate.
