jazz1 Posted January 12, 2008 Author Share Posted January 12, 2008 dont get me wrong it does look good from angles apart from the rear shot from a distance the car looks too chunky and the trd does give it a nice look and breakes down the chunkyness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 here you go another pic, i think it deffinatly needs the trd wing as the cars wide as hell from the back my mate said to me it looks wider than most supras i think its down to the wheels that make it wider Those rear wheels have to be close to an MOT failure in themself dont they You suffer from any rubbing on your arches......if not you must have a pretty a solid ride setup....

Wheels are not allowed to extend past the body work, a tiny bit or not..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Looks very nice Jazz, clearly a lot of thought has gone into it and you're to be commended on the work involved. I honestly wouldn't change a thing, it's absolutely fine how it is (well apart from that CO2 spray thing, I'd remove it purely for aesthetic reasons - it's not often you'll hear me say something like that!) Now stop messing around with it and get driving and enjoying it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprash Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 same thing my brother said but im worried about damaging my intercooler fins Keep it meshed dude, they will be fooked within 18months, especially if its a daily runner..... Or as the man below just said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Keep the mesh, it WILL save your IC from damage. I had some heavy duty stuff on mine and after 3 years of driving it was heavily dented. Some stones made it through the IC, but I'd expect the IC to have looked like a colander without the mesh to protect it. The Supra's I've seen without mesh have all had their IC's severly damaged after a year or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tones Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 to be honest, if it meant replacing the IC itself after a year i think it would still be worth it, i just think the mesh on the front takes from the looks. I had my fmic and ran without any mesh, drove for 6 months then sold it and wasnt one mark on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had my fmic and ran without any mesh, drove for 6 months then sold it and wasnt one mark on it! As a daily driver ? And 6 months doesnt account for another 12/18 months of road battering, it will happen, every un-meshed one I have seen unless its fairly new within the last year has their fins marked, unless your exceptionally good at dodging stones on the road...........

Tee from China Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 no need as long as the front ones are there so iv been told and passed mot:) Afraid not! This goes for anyone who has removed the side repeaters from the front wings on 93-96 models or 96- on facelifts with repeaters in the front bumper - you may have been lucky with your MOTs up till now but you may fall victims sooner or later as this is what the MOT Testers manual states:- MOT Regs Section 1.5 Lighting Motor Vehicles first used on or after 1 April 1986 These must be fitted with one side repeater indicator on each side. Instead of a separate lamp, the side repeater might be part of the front direction indicator if it includes a wraparound lens. "Acceptable wraparound lens marking" i.e.Lamps incorporating a side repeater are marked either with an 'E' mark in a circle or an 'e' mark in a rectangle above which is a number 5. Some vehicles are fitted with a wraparound lens with no European approval markings. These can be tested by standing approximately 1000mm to the side of the vehicles rear bumper with indicator on. If amber light can be seen coming through the front lens (not a reflection) this is acceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 just wondering if you guys could help i want the back lowered more but im thinking maybe they left the gap on the rear so there would be no more rubbing? could i get away with lowering it more?
