itted my DAB head unit - which was a pita! All the wires were just taped together so I bought an ISO block and soldered it in so if the headunit has to come out now it has the ISO blocks. Also sprayed the panels gloss back - like piano black. Also fitted a boost guage The standard intercooler was pretty f****d. So I replaced it with a greddy 2 row I got a k&n induction kit that's massive! Lol so I could fit the intercooler pipes The side skirts where doing my head in and also the uk scoop as it was only stuck on and lifting my bonnet at speed so I ripped it off! I rattle canned over it so it wasn't so noticeable lol Fitted some HIDs Picked up a fiberglass bonnet from a member on here that lives round the corner from my girlfriends house. Me and her carried it about half a mile from his house down the road lol fitted it with the aero catches Replaced all the vac hoses - as much as I could anyway - (ran out of hoses lol) as they seem rock hard and brittle. And got a cat back off eBay which I'm very impressed with! At the same time fitted a double decat which I got off mk1its and an AFR gauge. Also a brand new Walbro fuel pump Put a supra badge on the back with facelift lights and new number plate to replace the rediculously over sized one. There is also spots of filler over the place where I have started doing some prep and blacked out the front indicators with flyeye stuff There has also been afew issues I've had to sort out. It went through a stage of not starting so I replaced the ignitor and also I had to replace the crank sensor as it was breaking down and eventually failed. I had to change the idler pulley and fan belt as they were horribly noisey. I also had an afew oil leaks. The powersteering cooler rusted through so on the advice of Chris Wilson, with all new hoses, I used the cooler in the radiator from the auto box as the new power steering cooler and fitted a 13 row oil cooler for the gear box. I had to replace the hoses for the auto box cooler as one of these were leaking. I will be changing the cam cover gaskets tomorow and also the oil filter housing has a weak I will need to sort. Other parts I've fitted include new nuts and bolts all over the place. FMIC cooling plate HKS SSQV Thor speedo convertor and delimiter HKS turbo timer Greddy BCC New spark plugs New aerial and DAB aerials stuck to quater windows behind the tints so not visible from the outside. New grab handle Apiller correctly fitted. All rattles sorted behind dash!! Active spoiler button removed and blank fitted Active spoiler ecu removed Plasma glow dials Alarm LED repositioned Bulbs replaced behind dash for big red triangle and other warning lights. I think that's most of it. Still have a huge shopping list! Just purchased these for £111 of fleebay As she stands now Move pics and updated coming soon

Ok thought I would start my build thread. Bought my supra from keron in January. TT auto with about 125k km on the clock. Didn't have an MOT or tax and apparently was standing for 7 months I think he said. Had loads of paperwork with it so I took a gamble. Luckily it only needed two tyres and some wipers I think to pass the MOT. Had it under sealed while I was there aswell. The car was generally in ok condition. But the paint was shot. And had afew niggly bits to sort out. The blue dash conversion barely worked, grab handle falling off, aerial was a windscreen job that wasn't really stuck anymore, apiller falling off, vs skirts badly fitted and cracked, and afew other bits, so I have been working through it slowly. When I got it

IMO the supra is one of only a handful of cars that can get away with being kitted and slightly outrageous. Yes some look cack but some kitted supras look awesome. They have been kitted for years and only recently the stock look is coming back to fashion. As said already. Show us your motor. Here's mine - it's a work in progress lol

What size tyres would people recommend for 8.5j x19 and 9.5j x19 offset 35

I have a greddy profec. All I wanted to know really is there anything else that can be done. As I've seen on the net people putting BPU+, ++, ++++ etc I don't think I will ever go single as I don't have that kind of money and probly won't lol just looking at options really what else can be done in the future

Hi would anyone be able to tell me what size or ID of the 3 hoses that join the turbo pipes together please

Nah not nitrous lol

Already have a fiberglass bonnet lol

Cheers guys. Money is always an issue lol just seeing what options are next

What about different injectors or cams? Also what sort of ecu - standalone or a piggyback system?

I have an auto TT BPU with; -cat back -double decat -restrictor ring -air filter -FMIC -greddy BCC -boost controller -Walbro fuel pump -boost guage, AFR guage -colder plugs -replaced pretty much all my hoses in the engine bay. (I think that's about it) What else can be done for abit more power without going single?

Cheers

Wouldn't the pcd be wrong for vw though?

Just wandering as in after a new set. These came with the car. As far as I'm aware the genuine bbs. 17inch unsure of the width but rears 275 tyres and the fronts have 255s on them. Wheels have a bit of damage here and there. Had 2 new tyres in jan. The other two have loads of tread left. So just a ball park figure would be nice. Cheers

Sorry if this has been covered loads of times before but I could find anything conclusive. I was wandering if like this convertor could be used; http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/151041875633?nav=WATCHING_ACTIVE In the engine bay with associated with something like this; http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/290963091284?nav=SEARCH Or maybe a Bluetooth version to connect to an iphone or ipad or appradio etc I'm conjunction with an app like dashcommand to read and show engine parameters to end up with something like this?;

Anyone seen these before? http://www.suprastore.com/tosusebr19re.html

What's the best/easiest way to fit aftermarket seats? Can you buy specific runners?

Get a group buy on the go if they are any good

Been watching these for ages. Look decent I think.

What is the supras top end? You would recommend getting the Titan torque convertor then?

Has anyone fitted these with BPU setup? Any idea what sort of gains are expected? What sort of stall speed is needed for BPU? Thanks

So what would be the next steps after I have an ebc fitted? Bigger injectors?

Thinking of getting the new profec one in a month or two

Cheers thank you. Anything else I should get? What's all this BPU+ BPU+++?? Etc

Ok I've read up about BPU etc I have just fitted; Fuel pump Cat back Decats Restrictor ring Induction kit FMIC Boost guage Afr guage Need a part number for correct spark plugs as I've found people say afew different ones when I have been searching. Thinking of getting a greddy profec boost controller. Will also be getting an oil cooler for gearbox and have been looking at the Titan torque converter but I don't know what stall speed I would need? Anything else I need or people recommend.
