Usually i'd say facelift and it's not even close for me but on your car the UK's actually look really nice and i'd probably choose them to be honest. Lovely colour & car you have, looks a great Supra

Yeah, the problem with mine was the bottom of the seats had been modified because they didn't come out of an Evo directly, some guy had them fitted to his civic so it made it a real pain lining everything up and getting nuts and bolts to fit etc.

I used the David P, low aluminium frames and universal rails from fleabay Tried fitting them myself but it looked like a pain in the ass so i sent them to dynotorque and they did it for me. They agreed it was a massive pain in the arse lol

Cheers J, i prefer the black too, the finish on the purple just wasn't what i thought it would be. And yeah, there is, the wheels were plasti-dipped not sprayed and it's hard to get it off without removing the wheels, they are all coming off in the next 10 days or so to fit the brakes though so will get done then Cheers mate, glad you you think so Haha, have i not mentioned my recaros yet?? I do indeed have some recaros fitted yeah, let me grab a picture So yes, I've also had recaros from an Evo 8 fitted This was quite a while ago too.......i must have gotten sloppy with my updates :O Thanks mate

Thank you mate you should put a thread up for your car too id like to have a look!! Cheers Dave! Much more cleaning, polishing and repairing to come so stay tuned just gotta wait for that weather to finally turn, not long now i think!

Today the weather changed a bit and finally i could give her a nice clean!! (although the heavens opened shortly after i finished drying f**** ) When clean my i usually get all OCD about certain places things being immaculate and Today was no exception lol After giving her a good old wash using the 2 bucket method i saw some stubborn stuff in areas i couldn't really reach with a wash mitt still remaining, the kind of dirt that has been built up for some time and not just in the last couple weeks since the last wash. So i set out fixing it First was the stubborn stuff under the rear lights and in the rear number plate recess. Then i saw a small spot of surface rust inside the boot by the weather seal so i sanded it down to bare metal and got some paint on it, while doing this i lifted the rubber seal to find another couple small spots so i sanded those down too lol I've now decided that when i gets warm i'm going to remove the whole bootlid and rubber seal sand it all down and re-prime and paint the whole area! But for now this was the result: Before During Forgot to get an after Next it was the turn of the fuel filler cap and that whole area! I noticed some muck behind the cover knew i wouldn't be happy until it was clean so i took it off and cleaned it all up: Before: When it was cleaned i noticed a small spot or rust and i hhaattttttteeeeeeee rust!! So it had to go!! lol So i sanded that whole area back down to bare metal and removed all rust, masked up the side of the car and surrounding area and sprayed it white: Finished When all that was done i popped round the corner for a few quick snaps and here she is in all her glory....... And then one pic when i was playing around with some filters lol Really looking forward to my brakes arriving now, they will make such a nice difference, should be here in the next 10 days i hope!

I'd be up for a meet as long as it isn't 1,000,000 miles away.

I was one of them before i bought mine, but like you all told me i do absolutely love it

Owner

I love that video! I always wanted a manual supra, but ended up with my auto and i do really love how it drives to be fair. Id still like to drive a manual at some point to compare though!

Best of luck mate! And congratulations!

Thanks mate im pretty sure i just used some white spirit on a rag, wasnt actually that tough to remove tbh, nothing like tiger seal!! Thanks mate! Yeah, the Uks stop the car fine but ive never been all that comfortable with pedal feel and for sure the brembos will look way, way better and more than likely get it to stop faster too And yeah, im pretty sure its a power steering problem, just wondering if anyones had the same before and could give me a clue on where to look? Or what to look for.

Car looks awesome mate, incredibly clean!! My OCD salutes you I love the wheels too

Thought i'd do a quick update for you all I've been busy buying lot's and lot's of parts since last time, so since then i've bought: 1. Whifbitz front mount intercooler (fitted but it was second hand and i'm not that keen on it so i may well buy one from SRD) 2. Clifford 650 cat 1 alarm with proximity sensors, anti hi-jack and turbo timer (fitted) 3. Hecklers PCB kit for heater controls and dash (fitted) BIG, BIG shout out to heckler by the way, i had trouble getting the dash lights to work and he sent me hundreds of messages trying to help me out and fix the problem which was eventually found out to be a weak ground connection to the dash lights. Thank you!! 4. I sound deadened the drivers door and finally got around to painting the drivers door controls to match the satin black dash. 5. Removed the purple from wheels and went back to black.....like ACDC 6. And last but by means least I've just ordered brand new Brembos from the States, 6 pot front with 360mm disks and 4 pot rear with 345mm disks Sooo excited to receive those bad boys!! So my UK spec brakes will be up for sale at some point in the next month or so if anybody is looking for a full set, let me know. Now for some before and after pics of the doors: Before: Door cleaned up and deadening fitted to outer door skin behind speaker: Nearly there All done, i didn't cover the whole door with the black stuff because it was interfering with the fitment of the door card so i just covered all around where the speaker sits. Just the left door to do now.................. And this was half way through pulling the purple off the front right wheel, quite fun actually I'll get some pics as soon as i can when my shiny new brakes arrive and also of hecklers PCB's when i get out to the car next EDIT: Actually i have a question for you guys, the car makes a strange noise occasionally it doesn't happen all the time, but when i turn it kinda sounds like a boat turning lol and i get a small amout of feedback through the steering wheel, also at the same time something in the engine bay (by the sounds of it) whines slightly and goes in time with the revs.....any clues?

Yeah it was until they got onto the Peugeot thing, it was funny to start and they are shit but it dragged imo. La Ferrari is just pure sex......

Hi, I'm Mike! Welcome

Guys

pants

So this is turning into a pretty strange problem now guys.......the pcbs are getting power i checked by using an led attached to 2 pieces or wire. I plugged the dials in then touched the wire on the positive and negative terminals of the pcb and it lit up. I checked the connector to the dials the same way, lit up. Ive had the dimmer switch out and its fine and the heater controls are working fine so it cant be that, i checked all the fuses by the drivers foot, all fine. Ive also tried the pcbs soldered both ways round so its not polarity. Please help........

Universe

Just checked the fuse for the gauges and its fine. Does anyone how to bypass the dimmer?

Oh right okay ill have a look later thanks. I just removed the centre dash panel, didnt need to move the piece with the dimmer in it came out fine.

Yeah i never unplugged my dimmer though mate Which fuse would have gone?

If i wanted to bypass the dimmer switch to see if the switch had blown or was broken which wires would i need to combine? I have: orange/green White/green White/black

When you dash light potentiometer, do you mean the dimmer? If so then no i didnt touch it.
