MadMax2042 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) That's looking smart You into bikes too or just have biker parents? It's good to see your project taking shape, I remember your first posts on here a few months back and you were searching for your Supra. Congratulations on realising a dream Edited April 3, 2015 by MadMax2042 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyFDMD Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 they are standard j spec callipers mate. they were only ever going to be temporary, although i didn't realise how useless they would be with such a significant drop in ride height. its lower than i thought it would be and drives like absolute shit!

HarleyFDMD Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 neither mate, bikes don't interest me because i just wouldn't trust myself on it. my dad has a honda s2000 and my mum has a 72 vw camper van Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOB B Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 From what I can see, that camper van looks fantastic, probably worth more than all the other cars put together. Good luck with the Supra, it will take a lot of hard work but looks like you'll get a good car at the end of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitbox Junkie Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 :spank: that is low are you going for stance looks like it will be a great project looking forward to more updates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyFDMD Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 Yeah the camper is my mums pride and joy. The s2000 is a 2001 with only 20k from new. Im not going for stance as such although I do want it low.. just not as low as it is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I agree, it's your build and I understand you want to put your stamp on to it. Good luck with your build.

Havard Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Car looks great. Just make the right decisions about ride height and handling. I really miss my old NA compared to my TT Tip. I wish after nearly nine years of being here, I would have stuck to my principles and had some fun. Power isn't everything when it comes to these cars. H.

Also maybe they'll learn to listen to those who've been there and done it I knew it was never going to be the perfect set up but I atleast expected it to be drivable. My 106 was -80mm but it felt firm and flat in the corners. The supra feels like im driving on clouds though! Like none of the steering is connected to anything lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H. im going to do what I should have done in the first place. Buy some bc coilovers and set them to a sensible height, maybe a little lower than most people but not so low that my fresh bumper ploughs through cats eyes!

Like none of the steering is connected to anything lol There's a lot more wrong there than lowering springs bud. You need to have the suspension checked out properly, sounds like some of the bushes are severely worn. Best of luck with the project, you're certainly off to a great start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJay1374 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 The Greddy sticker is a marmite thing i know, I'm young and big body kits and stickers still tickle my fancy. I have to say I do quite like the greddy sticker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mason Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Great...now I want a Top Secret bumper, urgh lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyFDMD Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 Great...now I want a Top Secret bumper, urgh lol I really like the standard bumper with the rmm lip and I will probably go back to it in the future. For now though while im trying to make my mark im going with the TS. It was between the TS, DL and ridox. The TS seemed to be the least common and this one came up for a trade for my standard one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
