Scott Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Really like that. Think it would definitely benefit from a different spoiler, but I love the colour combo. I looked at doing this with my MR2 years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) It's like a mini version of Ibrars car when he first built it Ive said time and time again that is my fave supra ever. I kinda stole his black roof idea, but had to do the whole boot due to monster fade and nasty chemical crap. Spoiler wise i hear what your saying but i had it repaired and re sprayed with the car, its also now bonded on.....its not coming off even if i wanted it to.

The Raven Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 Got some trd symbols in the post today, they are not made for what i want them for but after a bit of a play and many ideas later i found a way to make them stay put, one on each side of course!

The Raven Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 MOT passed with the only thing being a rear tyre getting low. Also fitted new discs and pads and replaced the trd stickers on my wheel centers for red ones to match paint. If the weather stays nice i will repaint the calipers red.

Hitbox Junkie Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Looking amazing man. Is it me or is it a tad high the wheels? That because of rough roads or just the angle of the picture One of my favourite aero threads been waiting for.more updates . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 LOL everyone says its high. Its sat on uk spec springs. The issue i have is my drive way isnt the most supra friendly, Mike, colin and Mart have all caught their cars getting in or out of it. That said a set of coilovers are next on the list. Mostly down to the fact i dont know how old the setup is on there now. With BPU still the final objective i want to renew alot of the other parts before i do it.

The Raven Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 (edited) Well after lots of looking and saving i now everything i need to refresh the suspension, bpu and some more styling. I have a full bush kit, Kaans coilovers, new diff mounts, along with my full bpu kit and rubber hose kit. oil to change the diff, new coilpacks, and some spacers for the rear wheels. I will be fitting what i can myself as i got a new tool kit for xmas. Once i dig everything out i will take a photo of all the stuff. Its currently in several different places all over the house.

Jellybean Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 How is your scuttle panel holding up after being resprayed ? Is it a pita to take off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 Seems to be fine, its still black... Take off as remove from car or take off paint? Take of car is a 4 minutes tops. both wipers off, few screws and it will come away. Paint? no idea i dont want to try and strip it back at a guess it would need some nasty chemicals that would probably melt the plastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raven Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 (edited) Productive day with mikes help we managed to put the coilovers on and put in the missing diff mount and added 20mm spacers on the rear. Its made a world of difference to the way the car handles and takes bumpy roads. Very happy with the results Before After Edited March 19, 2016 by The Raven (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raven Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 Nice weather of the weekend, so i got some fast cut and took the duel action to the nasty misty headlights. I also picked up some Autoglym Extra Gloss, so i got the black hole show glaze and then applied some of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share Posted July 3, 2016 (edited) Mike came over to help with diff oil change. He is alot skinnier than me and got under the car with ease.....me not so much. Anyway it didnt take to long at all the drain plug was clean as whistle no metal flakes at all The old oil was somewhat of a unknown as i brought the diff when i did my TT swap. Why i didnt change it while it was off the car i dont know. Anyway to my suprise the oil was quite new loooking . Refilled with 1.5 ltrs ish and shes all back together.
