Westy Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Haha! Really!? I couldn't handle the dirt they would accumulate!lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 I'll just buy more as and when I'd rather that than having to continually replace a disappearing plate haha! The other option, of course, being to finally paint and fit the UK spec rear. But then I'll have to drill for the diffuser again. Urgh.

Style Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I lost my rear plate about a year ago as well! I got a couple of pop rivets with threads on the inside to basically re-thread the existing holes and it hasn't budged since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleshead Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 My rear plate is barely hanging on...!! Must be a trick used by those pesky Geordies to keep you coming back and buying more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 how are you fitting your private plates ?? you need to buy proper number plate stickies then fill centre section up so level then fill the full bar with 4 stickies across.. (then you will be fine) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(then you will be fine) The original plate from when I picked the car up was just held on with a pad (well, a couple built up to extrude enough) each side. The passenger side was less sticky than the driver side, causing the plate to sag down and rest on the recess slightly. I then built it up again with new pads when I changed it, but to no avail. It'll be easier just bolting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 Next thing that I am on the lookout for is a set of winter wheels, even if just to stand the car on if I choose not to use it over the next while, as I want to get the CCWs inside and clean them up nicely and sealed in prep for next year. I might also be keeping an eye out for cams and there may be a slight chance that I will get the boost controller set up for higher boost and have the map checked out to make sure it is all good for that...

JDukesy Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Or you could just swap your ccw's for my xxr's and not worry! Haha! In all seriousness I love this car and more boost can only make it better! You not going to be using the car over winter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could lend me your XXRs over winter yep, but the CCWs will be staying with me too I will probably use it for a little while but when the bad weather starts properly setting in then I'll be parked up and keeping it pretty instead. I don't have a daily though, so a bus pass may be the best bet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a shame though! Oh and I am now on a bus and can confirm - it sucks! Haha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 Well, I got offshore today and within an hour I had sorted out purchasing a little bit for the car - one of the APR carbon cooling plates from Whifbitz: http://www.garagewhifbitz.co.uk/index.php/apr-798.html This is a dangerous business being away as when I'm free and online I can't help but look at parts.

James Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 Next thing up for consideration is whether to pounce on one of the carbon windscreen scuttle panels from Whifbitz. I don't want to go over the top with the carbon on the exterior of the car, but I see special offer prices and think that it'd be a wise idea (they look great too anyway, and I don't have that much carbon on there - just the lip and diffuser! ). It looks good against the black too: I also need winter wheels soon. It is getting chilly and cleaning the CCWs takes long enough when I'm enthusiastic about it nevermind when I'm freezing haha!

I'm saying it like I've not already made up my mind haha! I just need to get on with it and actually purchase it! Just a shame, all of the Scottish Supras are going to be adorning the same aftermarket parts haha! As a side note, the car will be getting another nice little run to Glasgow and back on Saturday. Hopefully the weather stays on my side for letting me stretch its legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
