Phlukey Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 Thanks for all the kind comments guys Just got home from my evening shift. So time to add some more photos..... Here's some I forgot to add earlier of the underside of the car which was finished before the bodywork was started. All in white underseal now. Rear inner arches tidied up. Should hopefully be no clearance issues no matter what I decide to run on the rear now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlukey Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 Another Job Simon has carried out for me. The TRD rear bumper is actually shallower than standard and the crash bar has to be removed to fit it. Simon has manufactured me a custom rear crash bar that fits with the TRD rear bumper.

Phlukey Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 Some goodies which have started to arrive at Simons from Toyota. And some goodies which have arrived at SRD ready for the rest of the build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlukey Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) Master cylinder sprayed to match the bay. New fuel tank cover given a nice coat of satin black. Bolt heads getting a coat of white so they blend in nicely. Edited December 3, 2015 by Phlukey (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phlukey Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) Simon sent me a teaser pic tonight of the front wing test fitted. I'd asked for the inner wing to be painted in satin black so the the whole vent appears black once the black mesh is fitted. Really happy with the finish..... Looks like glass Can't wait to see it all back together! Excited!!! I've got some other little bits in the pipeline too and I'll keep you all updated as the build progresses Edited December 3, 2015 by Phlukey (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phlukey Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 Very impressive Phil Keen to see what you do in terms of wheels Thanks James Sticking with the original Iforged Sebrings for now mate and having Ibrar refurb them for me. I did fancy a set of CCW Classics in TRD fitment, but they don't do 19" in the Classics. 18" is as big as they go. I need at least 19" to fit over my SLR Brembos and plus I think 18" wheels would look a bit 'lost' under a TRD kit. If something else comes up that I like that I can get in the right fitment then I might change my mind, but happy with the Iforged for now.

Style Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 CCW LM20's in 19"? They look very similar but might be able to do 19's for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 CCW LM20's in 19"? They look very similar but might be able to do 19's for you Beat me to it! That'd work - the LMs have more curvature on the spokes as well compared to the Classics, so you get more dish even on the same offset.

Phlukey Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) CCW only list the LM20's up to 18" on ther website? The only other wheels I've seen that I really like are Avant Garde F420's like Ibrar has on his car. I'd have them in the complete polished / chromed finish rather than the chrome lip and bronze spoke finish Ibrar has though. I'm really liking a lot of the new concave deep dish designs like the ones from manufacturers like Avant Garde and Strasse. In all honesty though, I'm happy with the Iforged I have for the time being. Edited December 3, 2015 by Phlukey (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxluc Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 You sure CCW classics won't fit over the brakes. What dimension are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlukey Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 It's not just the brakes Luc. I think 18" wheels will look too small tucked up under a TRD kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 If you want, Lee can test fit when my Supra will be at SRD in March .... just to get an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
