ripped_fear Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Both What wheels are you thinking of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 Pretty undecided at the minute, but more than likely SP1's or Meister S1R's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Pretty undecided at the minute, but more than likely SP1's or Meister S1R's. Hate you! Hate you with a passion. My dream wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 It shouldn't come as a surprise. I told you when we first met that SP1's were on the shopping list. That being said... I keep changing my mind between going 6sp and forking out for the wheels. There's no way I can stretch to do both... and save for a house.

Manual would transform the drive. - - - Updated - - - Playing around with a new app this morning in bed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3_tq4GFLcA My dog loves the Supra.

Big Supes Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) Time to upate the story so far... As some of you may know my car was on the Toyota stand at Goodwood this year. It was an awesome experience and an honour to see it in all it's glory next to the FT-1. Toyota's Blog After the car arrived back from Goodwood, it now remains in the garage until I have gone through a couple of bits 'n pieces for it. I have two areas that need addressing before the car will be back in use: Geometry - rear upper arms need replacing, new suspension and car set up properly. It currently has negative camber and handles like poop. Turbos - Since the car came out of hibernation this year, I've noticed little puffs of blue smoke when I pull forward in traffic. The way I see it is, I have three options... recon UK's, twin hybrids or go single. At the moment, I'm leaning towards twin hybrids and syvecs.

Big Supes Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 Very nice indeed Thanks Dunk. Hope you're well. Agreed both cars look great..i have the identical car including zun grill .i would keep the car as it is just sort out the suspension and the turbo issue..i am sure a manual is great but you already have 325 bhp and you would not get your money back re investment price...what you have will be worth 20k plus in next couple of years as they rarer and if you keep in top condition. This is true. After further investigation I am swaying more towards the valve stem seals over the turbos so I'll get them ordered up from Mr T next week. Regarding how to take the car forward, it's an ongoing dilemma that, no matter how much I ponder on it, I can't make my mind up. I've always wanted a 6sp Single Supra. Part of me thinks I should, possibly, sell it to someone who would want to keep it as it is and buy another Supra which is already single/6sp, saving money I would have to spend on mine... and also not butchering a decent UK car. If I did the later, I know I would kick myself years down the line, but you can't have it all, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Youve gone away from Stock! :O lol Look great mate although I think I would be inclined to change the colour. However they do look very nice, and remember admiring them when Bob had them on his car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However they do look very nice, and remember admiring them when Bob had them on his car. Haha I think its heritage as stock has been well documented... now it's time to make a few subtle changes. I wasn't sure if the coppery gold would work with the silver, but I love it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
