Cheers for the compliments everyone, I absolutely love this Supra!! She is going to stay stock body wise, no skirts or anything to be added. With the exception of maybe a front lip :)

 

I owned my non turbo, automatic Aerotop for 7 years and I loved it... So just think how much I love this Twin Turbo manual 6 speed and how long I'll own this one for ;)

 

 

Beautiful car mate! Looks really awesome, love the colour. It was a pleasure to overtake you on the motorway on our drive home :D

 

Lol it was funny seeing your Supra just over an hour again, after leaving JM Imports. Your Supra looks gorgeous in white, we were both lucky boys on Saturday :D

 

So Dave, whats the plan for her :D

 

I'm getting married next year so I can't go too mad, but I have some oem confetti Recaros to fit and a facelift carbon fibre steering wheel to go in too :cool:

 

First plans- Will be to change the exhaust system to a Blitz Nur Spec R, also I'm going to either fit an active spoiler or MVP front lip. The wheels need refurbished, either that or I'll put on my 18" Volk TE37s which I own but I haven't decided yet.

 

Future plans- Performance wise with the engine, the most I will do is bpu. Even though I say that, it might not happen :D I want to keep her pretty stock and not to be too molested in anyway, as she is in a rare colour and I want her to hold her value. As any Supra and me just being extremely fussy, I'll be just doing a few tidy up bits here and there to make her more immaculate than she already is :D

 

The coilovers are HSDs for anyone who wanted to know.

 

 

Here's my oem Recaros to fit-

That car on TE37's would be PORN bud lol!!

 

Rare wheels on a rare coloured Supra :cool:

 

Gorgeous car! And even though I'm not a fan of the colour green that really suits a Supra, such a nice and tidy car too!

 

It's a cool green, it looks different depending on the light she's sat in :)

Hi Dave,

 

I got the clip of the Japanese woman translated for you by my sister-in-law: it says "Please insert your ETC card"

 

The device is an ETC card reader, which you can remove. The ETC card is a contactless payment card for motorways in Japan, where motorways are not free of charge.

 

Hope that helps,

Steve

Just read your pm too Steve, cheers for finding that out.

 

I still like to think she's saying "Good morning Dave" like KITT out of Knight Rider or "Turbos are engaged" :D

Finally I got round to fitting my new carbon fibre steering wheel this week. I thought I would mention it's not just a straight swap from one wheel to another. My Supra is a facelift, but being an early facelift it still has the prefacelift steering wheel airbag loom. So to connect the new steering wheel I had to buy a loom which connects the prefacelift plug to the facelift airbag. I suppose you could cut and splice the wires, but I'd rather just but the genuine loom as it was so cheap. It just means waiting a couple of days for the part to come in, as I didn't realise it wouldn't just swap over till the steering wheel was off :( So remember that for if your wanting to swap over your steering wheels, you may need a new loom!!

New carbon fibre steering wheel finally fitted and gives more of a fast, sporty feel to the Supra than the original 4 spoke :cool:

I also bought a nice pair of mint oem Recaro Confetti seats from 214Supra :)

 

While waiting for the Bride seat rails to turn up I thought I would give the seats a vax off. Now they looked clean and great anyway, but after giving them a vax they look even better :)

 

What amazed me was the colour of the water after washing them off, it was clean soapy vax water at the start.... Afterwards it was BLACK!!!!! Amazing how dirty clean seats really are :D

 

Just have to fit them now :)

Seats afterwards look surprisingly even better than when I picked them up :)

With the Bride seat rails finally here from Japan, I can now get round to fitting my Recaro seats. I've been wanting to fit the Recaros for the last couple of weeks :D

 

The rails have landed-
