imi Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Agree with Abz here. Car looks spot on the way it is, engine compartment looks fine too - money spent here on flashy bits are a waste IMO. Interior is where I would consider spending money and on maintenance (Oil, LSD, V160, Brakes, etc... - when and if required) Personally not convinced that the facelift rear lights will suit your car - I think they look nice on grey or white cars and perhaps Red. Wheels are a personal choice - ones you currently have look good, although a set of TTE would give the car a slightly more aggressive yet classic look. imi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 If you're itching to tinker, you could consider straightening the wonk between bumper and FMIC, or fit a Zunsport to hide it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I'd get a nice piece of mesh in there regardless of the cooler being on the slant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzi Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I used 2 of Hecklers PCB's to tap into the brake lights for my fogs. My brake lights work as normal, when I flick the fog light on I have 1 red light on each side. I could have 2 lights either side if I wired it before they split into 2 on the loom.

Nic Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I also need to work out why the passenger window isn't working Maybe a daft question but is the passenger window disable button pressed down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 What to do next really depends on what condition all the mechanical parts, fluids and tyres are in, brake calipers, brake lines, diff cooler, radiator, aircon rad, engine hoses, brake fluid, engine oil, atf, psf, coolant etc Cosmetics should be the last thing to start altering, i'd bin the blue hoses and go back to black personally and as i said a new set of wheels would be on my shopping list but that's purely a personal thing and they look fine as they are.

marbleapple Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the comments guys. Some really interesting responses. I hadn't even noticed the angle of the FMIC for example. I'll look into facelift lights (might try borrow some to try them). In terms of brakes etc, its currently running: DBA 5000 2 Piece Slotted discs (front), Porterfield R4S and DBA 4000 Slotted discs (rear)with Porterfield R4S. Goodridge brake lines all round. Maybe a daft question but is the passenger window disable button pressed down? Hello Nick. Not seen you online in ages. It wouldn't surprise me if that was it and I'll check tomorrow morning but I think it is the wire. It was originally the switch that was broker and when I replaced the switch I realised that someone had been messing with the connectors etc. Edited January 2, 2014 by marbleapple (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Thanks for that as I now want a Do-luck bumper and oem skirts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbleapple Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Thanks for that as I now want a Do-luck bumper and oem skirts. I found a picture of 2 jap girlies under the carpet in that car. Like to think of them as the previous owners: edit: please excuse my dirty fingers... I had been tinkering with the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOGIE Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) I was considering changing my tail lights to facelift, but I actually prefer the pre-facelift lights nowadays. Something about the grey surround on the facelift lights looks like a Halfords sticker kit. Im with you on this. I do like facelifts but I think they only suit certain colours of supra. Silver looks great with them but blue and black cars not so nice. Edited January 2, 2014 by LOGIE (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st3ven1 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Fit some OEM 17's. Get it looking as it left the factory and preserve its value. I'm guessing the active spoiler is fixed in place? I'd sort any mechanical bits which are showing their age, and then enjoy the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been in this trap since owning my UK spec, but have decided to stop thinking about the resale value as I'll be taking it to the grave. That doesn't mean to say that I'll be fitting a full veilside kit though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
