Time for another quick update......
About ten days ago now i got around to fitting my freshly rebuilt and powdercoated Aragosta coilovers along with my new Boost Logic Titanium exhaust The coilovers the second time round were really easy to do, sooo much easier when you know all the parts that have to come off the car
Here's a few pics of the rebuilt Aragostas next to my old Meister R coilovers, i couldn't believe just how much of a difference there was in spring size! I thought i may have the wrong units to start with lol
Aragostas rebuilt, powdercoated and ready to go:

Since fitting the new coilovers and setting them to full soft they are still a bit harsher than the Meister Rs for the road, but not unbearable. They do make the car feel more planted however and i feel like it probably responds and handles a bit better than before so a decent change all in all.
After the coilovers were done it was time for the long awaited Boost Logic exhaust to go on I wanted one of these exhausts before i even owned a Supra, i think they sound fantastic!
Comparison shot with my brand new Whifbitz 3" 2nd decat and Boost Logic next to the full Ti Amuse R1000. The Amuse is soooooooo light :O
When i fitted the exhaust i completely forgot to re-install the restrictor ring lol The first time i put my foot to the floor it went to 1.4bar And i knew something was off, that's when i remembered i hadn't put it back on lol
Quite crazy though how much more responsive the car was without the restrictor, felt a lot nicer to drive and it sounded slightly better and definitely spooled up faster. Was a shame i had to put it back in
The only strange thing with this exhaust is the second mount, the one half way down the car there is no mount on my car or exhaust rubber to hang it too. On my car there is just a chassis/tunnel brace there. Do the pre-facelift cars have an exhaust mount where the facelift cars have a tunnel brace?

Brakes exhaust and suspension all done:
Not many more mods to go on for some time now! I've got some carbon bonnet dampers to fit and it needs an MOT and insurance again pretty soon but apart from that shes sitting pretty much how i want her now
