Sorry to see this mate, hope it gets sorted asap

If the carbon cover is vvti I'm interested in pics

Super cheap. Glws!

Crackle black engine. Will think about the rest at a later date. I'd like to get an aftermarket intake done too. Turbo side might have to wait! Oh and lee kindly fitted a heat shield The car is looking better everyday. Few bits went to lee today so hopefully they are in working order.

Another update from Lee. I've decided while it's at SRD to get some other bits done. I'm sending over the radiator, fog light pcb, Thor speed delimiter and speed Convertor to get everything sorted properly. I've asked lee to paint the tired looking engine parts as well so should look much better once it's done. Inside of the cam covers looking dirty so lee has cleaned them up and painted them. Looking much fresher! Can't wait to pick the car up when it's done. Getting the love back massively now. Car is getting treated how it should have done originally

Well if the police are any good at their jobs they will know that there's 2 choices. The mother let them take it in which case she is liable or that she didn't allow them to which means they will get prosecuted. It doesn't matter if she reports them or not. The police should know the law.

Happy birthday Al

RT is probably still more honest than the BBC. Don't think RT has been hiding pedophiles lately.

To me it's a no brainer. New tech beats old tech if you can afford it. That's the only reason i haven't gone single. I do like the sequential system and can be reverted to stock but seeing as you're already single I'd go for it

Spot on. Media is full of rubbish. I've seen the decline for a while now.

Intercooler after pulling loads out: On the bright side, under trays look epic: I'll keep updating as things get sorted. Finding the love for the supra again thanks to Lee and SRD. By far the best customer service I've ever had.

Looks brilliant mate. Your car is pretty much how I'd like mine to end up quality wise!

Cheers guys, I appreciate the comments. I'm going to confront the garage about this ASAP. At least right now it's safe with SRD.

Another update from Lee, really gutting to see the car like this... Wiring is a mess: This is from the speed delimiter and fcd in and under the glovebox.... Next again are the turbos and some more shots of the damage: Looks like something has been left in the intake side and just smashed through the turbos... Next is the most shocking error and that's this: That is most the blue roll that lee could remove from the inter cooler on the turbo side.... lots of blue roll blocking the air flow. Even now the boost isnt running right, the intercooler probably still has loads of the stuff stuck deeper in it. Looks like I'll need a new intercooler....

Oh wow cheers for letting me know that I had no idea. If anyone has one of these I'll take it

I have no idea. So glad I took it to SRD now though.

Just some more updates from Lee and embarrassingly things I should have checked: The last garage had made up a decat pipe which turns out doesn't fit to the correct location and is sitting on the gearbox mount.... On a good note I should be picking up the radiator and a few other bits from Abz this week!

You might want a car whose had 20+ blokes inside it for a few laps of a track but for a long term ownership you'd only want the car to have had a few if not 1 other person inside it... to keep It... fresh

You went TT to V8? Very unusual.

Maybe I'm just unlucky but anything more than stock power so far has been a world of issues

Lee said the turbos have damage to the fins but I haven't been to great at spotting turbo damage so far unless it's obvious. Thanks for the comments though everyone, it's nice to get feedback

So within 2 days SRD have already let me know what they've found: Intake pipes collapsing, exhaust valve is faulty and turbos are shot. This is after supposedly being checked by the last garage and the turbos being rebuilt.... I'm pretty gutted to be honest but at least it's in safe hands now. So thanks again Lee Oh and thanks to JamieP for letting me have his old turbos and related parts. i really appreciate it

Cheers guys. To be honest I should have taken it to SRD straight away to get it BPUd when I first started getting stuff done that was the main mistake. I just didn't because of distance but it's well worth just taking it to SRD as it's clearly the best for a reason.

I've updated my build thread for those interested
