Danhook97 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Hi guys, been a member since 2016 but i have only just managed to get my hands on my first supra! I hope these questions can go here. 1. So i purchased the black jspec aerotop n/a auto off the forum on wednesday, me and fellow member shawn went to take a look at it and unfortunately there is a few issues with it.... seats.... they are aftermarket bride (replica’s i believe). They are ridiculously hard and uncomfy and they also sit you up to high in the car. Does anyone have any recommendations for a nice set of replacements? 2.once i have been driving for 20/30miles the roof bolts seem to become loose? Is this just a case of replacing the bolts?. 3. I really like the ridox kit on these, im potentially looking at the “grams” kit, however i have heard mixed stories on there fitment? Any advice would be awesome.

There is a thread in the forum that shows you how. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlton Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Congratulations on the purchase! Before replacing the bolts, park on a flat surface remove the roof and reseat it (if you haven’t already). You’ll be surprised how much that helps with creaks and loose bolts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamilton Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Welcome to the club. Lovely car! There's also a specific order in which Toyota recommend you do up the roof bolts which, presumably, reduces rattling- check under the centre console lid and there's a diagram in to show the order (there is on mine anyway!) If you can't find it I'll check on mine for you. As regards seats, I have Recaro Speeds on Bride rails which sit you nice and low in the car.

Noz Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Recardo Speeds look incredible in a Supra. Very well suited. Leather is the nicest visually, due to the black OEM styling in the Supra's interior. There are other types of stylish seats around of course, I really like the mercerdes AMG type with metal belt bolts, but of course most of these seats only look the part once totally re-trimmed to suit the Supra's style or matching. The last photo is Ibrar's old Bomb setup. Which did look awesome, just a choice of investment in that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Maybe ask Whifbitz about their Rodox replica kit? Would have more faith in them than Grams styling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprano Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 We have had a few bits from grams and they are ok, nothing fibreglass is perfect if your getting a half decent bodyshop to fit it you should be fine, ridox is the nicest kit on the supra I just had the front bumper but mate had the whole kit( was 5 years ago not from grams) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
