wow! and na thats broke? no way!

Or any other makes anyone can recommend?

Ha straight to the point!

Hi guys im in need of advice on which lowering springs to go for please. I have a 1993 NA and im looking at either- Tein S.Tech http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TOYOTA-SUPRA-JZA80-NA-TEIN-S-TECH-LOWERING-SPRINGS-/280640793318?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item41577eaae6 Lesjofors (never heard of these) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LOWERING-SPRINGS-TOYOTA-SUPRA-3-0-TURBO-JZA80-93-98-/370439641787?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item563fec5abb Either way i will be rolling my rear arches due to the wheels im getting however i always appriciate your thoughts Thanks in advance

yup id store it to but as we all no times are hard so i can see your point however its like anything, as a buyer when you buy something you want it right but as people are saying if you can find someone who wants to take it on and can see some light at the end of the tunnel so to speak then happy days Good luck with this

Fantastic work m8! its a wicked feeling when it pays off and even better when the work has been done by yourself.a pat on the back from me

lambo

reason i asked.............i like the gaps! must have lowering springs

Cheers My theory with this re-build is im going to do it right,the whole day was me just being picky with little imperfections.ive never painted before so if i can do it anyone can! I was going to have it trimed im leather sooooo glad i didnt.ill get better pics when its finished. Would recommend it!

I let the paint go off for another 24 hours and then flatted it off,ive now clear coated all the parts but im going to let it harden for a good 4 or 5 days before i Tcut and polish the parts up before fitting,i just want to make sure the clear coat goes rock hard before fitting so i cant mark anything. (will post pics as usual when its done) Next time i post ill be fitting the panels/instruments/carpet and then the sound system

I then sprayed them with plastic primer and let it go off for 24 hours then it was time for paint,ive stuck to my guns with this as i said i would,a few people said gloss black might be a bad idea due to glare but im sure it will be fine plus im blacking the back windows out later on so that will help if there is any glare.

so ive stripped all the rubber off the parts and then give them a good rub down. (this took all day!)

So thought id crack on with preping and painting my dash panels,what a job! first i had to remove the rubber coating that comes on them as standard i used IPA to do this which helped but was time consuming. (pics have gone on bacwards again!,going from right to left...just removed from car,striped down and then applying IPA)

My parts came back this week from having the Led's fitted again (sent them off and got them back in blue,they looked rubbish in my opinion) got them back in ice white now as i requested,im yet to try them but i will post pics when i do.so ive fitted the clocks and also fitted the dash pannel that fits under the stering colum that the bonet release fixes on to.

both door cards fitted

And fitted the door cards,first i had to put them back together.I had to bond the speakers back in which was tricky.i could have just glued them but as uve hopefully worked out i dont do bodge jobs.As standard the speaker covers are plastic spot welded so when i removed them they had to be snapped out (not as harsh as it sounds)

Also fitted the A pilars which are now flocked........

The pics are uploading in the wrong order but im sure you get the gist anyway. Right im still waiting for the sound system to come back from the flockers so thought id make a start on getting the power wire through the bulk head so i can get cracked on fitting when it gets back. I decided to route the power wire from the battery through the offside wheel arch through the gromit and straight into the rear,i hate untidy wiring so tucked it up nice and tidy,also i made the hole in the gromit to small to get a real tight fit and also sealed it up with liquid nails.it comes though right next to the ecu so i just wanted to be 100% it wouldnt let in water.

Once again my camera is filling up so better get updated,Been well busy again! Managed to get the black roof lining fitted along with the black sun visors and matching interior light. (open pics right to left)

looking good! what size wheels are these?

Thanks guys...my god another thing to add to the list of things to do! £30 aint a bad price though to be honest

on the bike upshifting yes but in a car? ive tried this in my insignia and i cant see the benefits....totaly no point

haha sorry about that! and single? thought something like that would be coming.good work!

Just get it changed,better too be safe and all that when it comes to timing belts
