Fitz Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Looking good Geo. I must say the white is starting to be more appealing the more cars I see it on. Think my next one will be white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian W Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Fronts are done, but due to a thumping sore head / migraine coming on I've had to call it a day (have a party to go to tonight which I may not make either now ) Rears will be piss easy tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geo Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 Well as Ian said, we got the fronts done, but we left the rears until tomorrow. We had TDR's guide to go buy and it made life alot easier. We started off on the knackered side which took us 3hrs, we were faffing about etc. The Driver side took 40mins, all done with hand tools and brute force, We had no sheered nuts, the drop links came off real easy(i thought they were going to be a real pain to get off). Few pics from today Will get some good pics of us doing the rear shocks tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Car looks amazing mate, love white supra's has to be the best colour bar none. And yours looks spotless even under that arch, could be a new car! One question though? When I looked at this on jm's website I noticed it has the smaller 2 pots brakes when its a facelift? I was under the impression all facelifts came with larger 4 pots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobD Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Cannot go wrong with a white supra and carbon! Definitely swap the head lights to proper facelifts though, only thing that lets it down IMO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you learn somthing new everyday. What big brakes you going for? UK's or somthing a little more bling?

tDR Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Looking good Geo - glad the guide is proving useful. Love the laptop on roof for reference pic Stick any thoughts on the suspension change in the how to thread - those look a slightly different model of HSD's going by the colour scheme. Your suspension may have been off before if the drop links were easy - they've been a PITA on most Toyota's we've worked on. Rears are a piece of piss by comparison so should be a nice finish for you guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rears are a piece of piss by comparison so should be a nice finish for you guys cool mate, yeah we'll get myself and Ian to update it, there were a few things we had to do in order to get the old coilovers out, but other than that, it was pretty straight forward bud. We did use lots of wd40 and brute force, and a bit of swearing, lol With the drop link nut, we used your method but we used a hammer to tap the spanner to crack the nut off, once cracked we did it by hand. Doing the rears in 30mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
