Rich.2211 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Need some closeups but it looks awesome from what I can see I think we met at the anniversary meet at the Falcon but didn't get chance to speak or put username to face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_ufo Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) Needs some tyre shine Nice work though, the car's looking much better. I had tyre shine in the back, I didnt think anyone would notice though lol Need some closeups but it looks awesome from what I can see I think we met at the anniversary meet at the Falcon but didn't get chance to speak or put username to face. Hopefully have some day light pics tomorrow, there were a few issues with areas on the car which the bodyshop will be resolving. Close up below...

supra_ufo Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) Touched up the lighting in my photo, I have my screen set to max brightness so when they come up light for me but dark for others I have had the following work carried out on the car Stock front bumper with MVP style polyu-mejig lip - the stock bumper had parking sensors and those have been filled, however the license plate holes were supposed to be filled and smooth off! Rear wiper and ariel delete Bonnet scoop transplant from a starlet turbo (giving me options to change scoops for a different look) TRD half carbon rear spoiler Custom LED DRL install (im not happy with the position though and how there bolted on, you can literally see the bolts), also they were not wired in on the day properly hence the bodge, you can see the wires hanging down! Zunsport grill and liquid art supra logo Overall I am happy but there are a few areas that the car needs to go back in the bodyshop for. I literally got the car back the day before Japshow finale so did not have time to address these problems. Couple of shots outside my garage...and one at the bottom of the alley way (bonnet is open) Edited December 31, 2014 by supra_ufo (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clay Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) i do like what you have done with that bonnet. I was looking at it at japshow and trying to work out what car it came from.

supra_ufo Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 looking sweet dude, im sure the bodyshop will get it all sorted thanks Ric, it was a good convoy down to japshow, even though you was convoying 3 miles behind me! (avoiding stonechips! LOL) Yes I know he will sort the issues looking smart Thanks i do like what you have done with that bonnet. I was looking at it at japshow and trying to work out what car it came from. LOL Cheers Clay, I took a risk but happy with how it is, not a big fan of the UK bonnet scoop. This one IMO is how it should of been. I did notice your car at japshow, nice clean black one with black wheels? Did you have the bonnet open at one point?

Ric Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 thanks Ric, it was a good convoy down to japshow, even though you was convoying 3 miles behind me! (avoiding stonechips!

supra_ufo Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 LOL! it was more the fact that 50mph must be different from my car to yours haha At the time my speedo was working fine (ish), 50mph on sat nav was showing less so I was doing 55 according to the supra which was showing 50 on the satnav ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPG Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Looking great buddy, that front end swap has made all the difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraP-Z Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Ive just read through this whole thread, been glued to it! and I am impressed! You've come a long way, diagnosing things and getting stuck in, doing a lot of the work yourself. The car really is a credit to you, and although you've ran into problems at times, you've given it the treatment it deserves. All your effort has certainly paid off, the front end is a 100x better...stunning supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still far from issues though, currently have a boost leak (I know where from) and my speedo has stopped working all together, and noticed a knock/tappety noise when going over bumps. Suspect its the lower ball joint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
