Rich.2211 Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) Well, went for MOT yesterday morning feeling pretty confident.. and she passed with no advisories at all Also, I bought myself some nice new wheels nuts to go with the XXR's. Went for the Driftworks steel internal drive items as they're tried and tested, as seen here; http://www.driftworks.com/high-strength-black-internal-drive-slimline-wheel-nut-packages.html Cost best part of £50 all in, but I was determined to get some decent ones as I've heard horror stories about the cheapy alloy nuts. I've picked up two of the internal drive keys just on the off chance one goes missing. Hoping these should look good and deter thieves a little!

Rich.2211 Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 Got the new wheels and nuts fitted today Really happy with the fitment. On standard Bilstein suspension it's spot on, slightly rubs on the rear when going over a bump but this will be rectified as soon as the rear arches are cut or rolled. Would like to get a decent set of coilovers at some point soon, or even good quality lowering springs for the Bilstein's and bring the front end down slightly. I've also today removed the GReddy Speed Cut Defender I previously installed, this is to make way for GReddy Emanage Ultimate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 That looks great, amazing how a set of wheels can really change the overall look, the wheel colour suits it perfectly too nice work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedrosixfour Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Superb choice on the wheels, really suit the car. I'm a fan of concave fronts as well as rears on a Supra. Excellent stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kniff_666 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 These look absolutely immense! Love the look of the wheels and how it sits. Arch rolling is a must for the back though. TOP JOB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kniff_666 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Cheers buddy, would like to take a trip down to show you the car once she's turbo'd I would love to see her again pal. The problem will be the following: 1. i could try to steal her back off you 2. i will get depressed at how amazing you have made her and will not rest until i have another supra or 3. physically turn green with envy But seriously. If you intend to take her to some shows/meets locally i would love to turn up and see it. Is all the focus now on the NA-T build or is there some more cosmetic bits you want to do? There is an Shine Auto Carbon Rear Diffuser that would look amazing on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Focus for now is coilovers, front lip and get the rest of the parts together for NA-T.. it all depends which parts come up first On the off chance your heading to Fast Show? then the car should be on a stand on the Sunday all being well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
