miko_supra Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 Some very nice handiwork going into this car, are you aiming for a 'raw' weekend and track car? I would have thought the thread was worthy of going into the projects forum, if it meets the criteria. Cheers Alex. Before I bought the car i was planning on going single straight away. But looking at the costs etc... I would prefer to have everything else on the car 100% before doing that so for now I just want an as good as possible bpu car in terms of performance and all round tidiness.

pbryant_knight Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Nice progress in a short space of time. I have to say the dash looks great now. Who would put wood effect on a Supra dash? it's really an old man thing. like a Jag dash or old BMW. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 Removed the seats as some recaros should hopefully be going in at the weekend and dyed the carpet black whilst I had them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miko_supra Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 Started to do a bit more on the engine bay. I steam cleaned it all first and then spruced up my intake manifold. I will be doing the same to the turbo side as well. Before After Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobD Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I like this supra, The carpet makes a world of difference to the interior, and the plenum and spark plug cover looks superb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 Great idea where did you get the paint from and i take it you took the inlet off to paint it? Halfords high temp paint. I was going to take it off, but then couldn't be arsed so just removed what I could easily take off of it and masked up the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonT Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Top job!! Is it a spray can or actual paint?? Are you going to do the same with the cam covers?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 (edited) Top job!! Is it a spray can or actual paint?? Are you going to do the same with the cam covers?? Its just a spray can, took me about 2 hours to do the lot I recon, so very cheap and easy considering the results. I think I'll probably leave the cam covers none of the paint is flaking on them.
