  1. Thanks Westy, yes the car will be finished without an rear spoiler.
  2. Latest picture i received today, They now started with installing the bodyplastics back onto the body, won't be long now,,,,,,,
  3. Thanks for all your inputs guys, I will copy the part numbers Nic posted and print them, and take it all with me to my local Toyota dealer. Hope the timescale of delivering is not too long:), again thank you guys.
  4. I am in the need of a set of supra turbo logos for my car, Is there anyone in the UK who is willing to and is able to provide me with the logo kit i'm after. I prefer a genuine kit, like the one mvp sells, but have zero expierience with this trader. And need it within a certain time (within 3 weeks:)) Should i order them with mvp?
  5. Ok didn't knew that Guigsy. But for identification us spec turbos wastegate = 30mm J spec turbos smaller then 30mm.
  6. For identification i would measure the internal wastegate, i assume if the seller wants to sale them the turbos are alreadily taken from the car, i know the internal wastegate of the j-spec turbos is smaller in diameter then the euro-spec/uk-spec/us-spec. I will search for the wastegate diameter on both of the as i cant remeber it at the moment but will come back with the diameters. But why not get a set of j-spec turbochargers and get them hybrid made. No installation issues. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?156897-Are-94-Stock-J-spec-Twin-Turbos-Ball-bearing http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?624130-JDM-USDM-Turbo-manifold-and-OBD1-ECU-questions
  7. I will try to explain Scott, if you go to this link http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?335026-Post-pics-of-CCW-Classics-on-your-dawg/page6 (you will see on page 6 another owner struggling to get them classics fitted, then you will also see that when lowering the car/ or dropping down the car the wheels come inwards) When using the provided wheelspacer you will be able to clear the front uk/eu spec brakes, but most are struggling to get them within the arches when using them spacers. When fitting them without spacers they struggle with the oem brakes to fit the wheel over. Some of them did actually ground their caliper to get it all fitted, i need also mention that the tire width some of them using to fit the front wheels within the fenders is large (285's) i think when going 20mm smaller in tire width 265 on a 10Jwheel it will be an easier fitment. But it's actually not what is expected for a custom wheel that is made to fit perfect for the mkiv supra, it needs rolling of the rear arches in most of the cases and in some cases depending on tirewidth and sideewall the front fenders.
  8. I will sent a pm to Dan from CCW, and ask if he could sent me some pictures from the hub side.
  9. I don't really know that, the tire selection i got from Dan from CCW is : Kumho Escta XS - $975usd for the set - 265/35/18 - 315/35/17 Nitto NT05 - $890usd for the set - 265/35/18 - 315/35/17 On the US board some people run wider sizes up front, (285's for example) which could explain that. But the caliper problem is already been ruled out, i'm not going to do that, even if it saves me a few dollars.
  10. You are completely right, it is indeed not really what a customer espects from buying custom wheels that don't fit directly, but i really don't know exactly i really like them, ''once fitted'' and i think that i look past all the hassle to get them fitted the correct and safe way. (sometimes they tell that love makes people blind) I think that i'm blind right now. I will have a look at the kinesis 3 piece wheels too. hope they do them in a 18 / 17 combo too.
  11. Thanks for that answer, i won't be going that route then, i will order the wheels but not yet, and won't fit them with the uk/eu specs up front, seems the most logical and safe way to go. Thanks all for helping me out on this.
  12. Thanks DNK, but will this material removal of the caliper have any affect on the use of them on the streets or track? Is it a safe thing to do?
  13. @ Chris Wilson, i think that that will be to complex, then it's easier to buy another brake set up for the front axle, I actually hoped for someone that could tell me it's safe that would have been cheaper, all together with shipment fees import duties another brake setup just to fit these type of wheels is going to be an very expensive picture all together. (i know it's stupid but i really like them in those off-sets and width's)
  14. Yes the companies name is CCW, i mailed with tem a few months earlier and the spacer is still in the package, they're still offering this package for the JZA-80 models in these off-sets, it seems that the LM20's in these sizes won't have this caliper problem.
  15. Oh, i feel so dumb right now. I'm sorry.
  16. That would be very helpfull Thank you.
  17. It appears only in this configuration, UK/EU spec brakes, whith this wheel package F18x10J and R17x11,5J. http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?335026-Post-pics-of-CCW-Classics-on-your-dawg/page8 I never heard of it too, and it concerned me a little bit too much, that's why i posted this. Common sense wise i would choose option 2, but on the other hand why do people grind their calipers, if it's 100% safe it safes me from buying a replacement/upgrade set of front brakes.
  18. There has been made a set of wheels by a company which will fill the arches of a stock bodied supra completely, an arch roll for the rear arches is not uncommon with these wheels. But this set of wheels when supplied, includes 3 mm spacers for the front axle, when a buyer of this set of wheels would not use the included spacers up front, it won't fit over the uk/eu spec brakes. But when installed with spacers up front, this particular set of wheels will stick out a bit from the front arches. Before my question occured i did a search on this, but this is what im stuck with now, option 1 is to grind off 3-5 mm of the caliper body, so there will be clearance to fit these wheels without spacers. (This is not info which is recommended by the company, this is just an how did you fitted them without spacers up front performed by one or more owners of this set of wheels) option 2 is to buy a new set of brakes from which the front calipers are slightly thinner so it will fit without modification.Or get the j-spec calipers back in place. Well my question is: Is it possible to safely use the uk/eu spec calipers when the caliper body is grinded down to fit the wheels without the spacers, we're talking about 3-5 mm of the body, Thanks Mario

    Na-t kits

    Garage whiffbitz announced the kit on their website januari 2011 here is the link http://garagewhifbitz.co.uk/category/new-products/page/6/ I thought that i read somewhere that at least one has the kit on a supra for a durability test, but i could be wrong it's been a long time ago when i read that.
