ahh 15ish isnt as bad as I had feared but still enough!! still enough to ruin your day when you're getting them sprayed straight away!
yeah 100% matthew! brighter the better :smile: without going to bling bling chrome rimz!!!
@mharvey has been moaning at me to get them silver for ages hah!!
some bright yellow turinis then with purple center caps? perfect!
silver it is then i think :P gotta try find the part number for std silver centre caps now as mine are mullered and very much anthricite! got a feeling that they...
Yeah trackday was good mate definitely want to firm everything up a little more though.. Coilovers, RARB and a smaller steering wheel.. Also want to get a map on it.. RS Tuner I think but going to get wheels refurbed first..
Just not sure weather to keep it anthricite
Or
Nothing much to report at the moment..
Been using the supra more in the nice weather and money has been tied up with other things so very little progress on the clio recently
Painted the calipers to give them a refresh.
And yet another machine polish and finish.. This time the paint is...
Yes they are genuine renault from Adam greenhouse @ renault willenhall
No big updates yet.. Silver calipers.. Wheel refurb next and Coilovers
Getting the supra mapped again First though
Cheers mate :) thanks I got to admit the colour is growing on me
tbh I haven't spent all that much on the car... It's more just small mods and improvements that make the big difference.
Just detailing it I think completely changed the look of the car!
Cup spoiler also I think really helps :D
New engine mount [emoji108] last one was properly dead.. Il get some more pics of this swap tomorrow
Fueled up and took it for a blast round Wales with the Mrs this weekend
Car performed flawlessly :) got a track day on Tuesday so tomorrow will be checking everything over.. Just...
Decided to start it the other day and give it a few revs keep it all moving!
How it stands with bumper painted and spoiler
Dropped up to mick at diamond motors who did the belts and dephaser pulley..
Absolute legend.. Very happy with the service and the car feels amazing to drive...
Nah not at all! Really appreciate the heads up and advice mate
I did put approximately 1 s**t load (technical term) of thread lock on there so should be okay as I did think that!
Cheers mate il get some more pics when it's clean :) :)
Haha yeaah dat supra! I miss driving it! :(
So it's back with everything the right colour.. Spoiler and rear bumper have had a fresh spray :)
Haven't had a chance to clean it so this is the only *frozen* pic I have.. More to follow
Steering was feeling a little vague so I have replaced track rods (MOT Advisory) and top mounts.. Top...
Thanks, certainly needs coilovers! Mainly to refresh the suspension and get it all firmed up but also to lower the ride height!
The arrival from Pure Motorsports today should help by getting rid of the old knackered top mounts and replacing with this set up
Cheers Davo it's good to be...
Dogbone on :) this sorted the vibrating/knocking noise :D
Just had its MOT which it passed
Needs new rear discs
2xtrack rods
And nr side top mount..
Pure Motorsport top mounts and strut brace is on its way now too to sort that issue and will be refreshing suspension and track rods very...
That's looking awesome!! Id love to get mine sprayed.. Very jealous of that and mharvey's work on here!
With buying a 172 my supra project has hit a wall.. Mainly as I don't want to drive it in this weather but I'm seriously missing it!
Washed it the other day.. Snow foamed.. Then it snowed...
Lol can't believe I missed out mentioning the wheels in that update I was that taken with fitting the new plates I guess I forgot haha!!
Off with the old..
That needs coilovers..badly!!!
They needed a real good clean.. Will get them refurbed when I have time..probably silver
Cleaned...
This is mine.. Matts is having a very similar set up! All about the screamer :D
Project is going from strength to strength Matt.. F*cking epic work mate!!! :) love this project
Cheers mate it's took a long time but it looks like a different car.. Really put the hours in but I'm over the moon with how the paint has turned out
Some fresh plates arrived from fancyplates :)
How it currently sits.. Awaiting paint :) gonna get the rear bumper, spoiler and petrol cap...
Cheers mate yeah I love turinis can't wait to get them on :)
Been busy today..!
Had a shave :)
Got rid of this off the seats nicely
:D
Engine back together with matched inlets and induction
Cleaned the underside and all the arches.. Jacked it up..
All this came out...
Powerflex dogbone mount ordered from KAM Racing to cure an annoying knock..
Turinis are being collected Monday
And new numberplates from fancyplates are on order :D
Quick one of the cup spoiler test fit.. It is the wrong colour so will be having that sprayed along with the rear bumper to get...
Everyone who wants big power tends to go single turbo on the twin turbo engines anyway even if it's just for the power delivery.. The NA lump even with a TT headgasket has slightly higher compression which makes them spool nicely and feel very responsive... And when the single turbo comes on it...
Detango'd [emoji16] rear..
Fronts ..
This arrived...
Cannot wait to get it painted up and on the car.. Think they make a massive difference to the rear :)
But I need to put it all back together before I can get it to the bodyshop..
Stripping :) bay will be getting a makeover/deep clean...
