I love the steering/mat combo Nice car!!!! Are you going manual? I have toyed with the idea...the engine transmission have to match vin wise though for importation so might be difficult adventure until it heads back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Yes read that in this months version. Next month JP are doing a large piece around buying Supra's and how to choose a good one, tuning etc. It should be an interesting read.

k2supra Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) Tomorrow is gonna hopefully be painless install of new Mishimoto Performance Radiator, Transmission Cooler, and hopefully resolve the rattling noise that's developed around the cambelt covers with RobD Edited February 1, 2013 by k2supra (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2supra Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 Spent the day with RobD and problem solved! It turned out to be the serpentine (aux) belt tensioner, after replacing the tensioner the cars is running nice and smooth. Going to push back the radiator swap until the car goes in for the cambelt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k2supra Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) Made an essential change right before I left clear indicators, and what a pain the bolts were to break, this job took 6 hours and should of taken 30 minutes https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/549548_399576140141005_1719482102_n.jpg I have also been waiting to hear back on the ridox kit, I am hoping it all works out..

k2supra Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 I am currently waiting to hear back from Mishimoto on a FMIC option for the car, and will be most likely picking up a R-Line intercooler in black, Dimensions are 23" x 12" x 4" http://www.mishimoto.com/mishimoto-universal-front-mount-intercooler-r-line-black.html# Dimensions are 23" x 12" x 4" I haven't seen anyone using this intercooler yet, so it will be interesting to be the first from what I have searched to install on the car.

Fly Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 The car looks great a black fmic will be very subtle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2supra Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) The car looks great a black fmic will be very subtle. That is definitely the goal with this car, keep it simplistic and subtle to a non supra owners eye, but be realized by the supra owner community Edited May 5, 2013 by k2supra (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2supra Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 So, I decided to go a different route with my Supra and sold it and replaced it with a fresh import I bought the car with the help of Jurgen and JM-Imports from auction, scored quite a gem with this one. I have been massively busy getting the car where I was previously with the last one. Picture bomb Incoming over next few posts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
