It's a T61, nothing special but I have a couple of friends who run the exact same one (@rob_sri being one) with great results and reliability. It's possible that I'll upgrade at a later date but for now it'll do the job :smile: Thanks Philip, the manifold is lovely as are the welds on it, very...

Haha tell me about it, would be nice to have gearbox luck for a change but I actually know this one will fail, the 5 speeds are only good for 450lb/ft or so. Some more/some less but it's generally around there. Need a 6speed for big power really and at £3.5k for a used box and all the...

I know! Can't wait to start putting my jigsaw back together :D Thanks for the kind words, I started reading your Turbo 182 thread the other day funnily enough. Will finish that tomorrow night :D

The best update is the NA/T parts have started being delivered though :smiley: This arrived today from the States :smile: So we have the Turbo, Intake pipe, Downpipe and Screamer pipe :smiley: The noise from the screamer should be insane. Then then exhaust manifold which has some lovely...

Sold the Supra, bought a Van... Don't worry, I haven't really. I did however hire a van to pick up my new bonnet following the damage to my old one above. It's black but is being resprayed with the rest of the car. My facelift indicators will be going in after the respray but I decided to...

Yeah spoke to the bodyshop myself today and there is a lot, someones definitely jumped all over it at some point. He said it's not economical to repair and even if it was I wouldn't want all that filler once the turbo's in and generating heat lol. Luckily I have found one, got to hire a van...

So Rob popped down to the bodyshop today (I forgot to leave the window switches with them so he dropped them off) When he arrived the bodyshop had some bad news, the bonnet is fubar'd...'someone performed a waltz on it'. They're supposed to be all aluminium, mine's mainly filler and a lot...

You're not the only one, really excited to get the call to start building it back up :smile: My friend has the same coilovers and his car seems spot on with them. Was going to go for Meister's as I bought those for the MX5 but these were a good chunk cheaper and comparable in quality/reviews...

Lol no, they were organised and paid for by us all as part of the road trip. Attracted a lot of attention and made it feel a lot more special really. All off now though of course...until this years trip around Europe if I can make it

Few updates: Firstly my coilovers were delivered, went for BC Racing RA type, they haven't been fitted yet as I plan to do this once the cars painted. I also bought an APR Carbon Cooling Plate, will tidy the bay up nicely once I get round to that. Now though, the final and biggest update. It...

Everytime I check in here there's yet another picture of me haha. Looking great, this thread shows how the small, relatively cheap touches can make a huge difference.

You bought a second Moncao 172??!! You're crazy...oh it's the same car, WOW, didn't even recognise it with that latest update ;)

That rear bumper was such a state, was looking forward to seeing how well it would come up :smiley: Just needs your new light to finish it off ;)

Thanks, yeah it went really well. If I was to have another go in better conditions I doubt you'd notice at all. With the full respray booked though I won't be bothering. Cheers Matt, I'll let you know :) First one I find is mine though haha. I was thinking about alternatives last night just to...

It'll be angry and turbo'd soon but definitely staying Red haha. As for the german shepherd, I can barely fit a loaf of bread in the back haha...(no really)

Awesome, remember when Tom had this at the Viezu day and I want sit so badly. Glad it's in good hands and will be looked after :) Well, I say looked after, hope it's not going rat look mate ;)

He helped clean it too, don't forget this haha. Just don't tell anyone I can hoover okay. I'm glad I've featured in your progress thread though. We've had a lot of these 'car shopping roadtrips' lately ;) I just came looking for this, just updated my supra thread and made mention that you had...

I also went with Rob_sri to pick up his new daily yesterday, a Clio 172 of course. I drove it back for him and as a result realised I need one. Once the Supra is resprayed I want to keep it nice so a 172 is on the cards, just need to find a bargain like Rob's. It's a lovely Monaco blue, was...

Haven't updated this in quite a while but there has been A LOT going on :smile: Things that I can't show you just yet: * Booked in for a full respray (still the original colour) * Ordered Turbo kit (Turbo, Manifold, Downpipes, Screamer Pipe, Intake) * Ordered Coilovers (BC Racing BR Type RA...

Got a nice new fuel line in there have you mate ;) Looks brilliant, can't wait to see it in person and to then catch up with mine. Got a long, long way to go to get anywhere near yours though!!

As mentioned in the first post I recently went on a road trip with friends, this included a few passes up and down Black Mountain in Wales. At first I did miss my 172 cup and remembered the last time I went up there with that, so checkable and precise. The Supra is currently like a boat in...

Oh right okay, my mates ran them in his for the past year and touchwood has never had an issue but thanks for the heads up, I'll keep an eye. Thank you :)

Thanks Chris, sure we can manage that soon mate

Both Supra's are NA at the moment mate so only 230bhp. The black one (my mates) is having the engine out this week and going for 450bhp to start with. Mine I've only just bought but I'll be doing the same 450-500bhp in the next couple months. This was us all up at Black mountains prior to Evo...

I said to someone the other day I knew you loved them and it was a shame you weren't at the RR day, fair reason though :) You didn't see me Saturday mate I wasn't there haha :s Couldn't make it due to the road trip above. I'm sure you'll see it soon mate :)

Oh and another thing, it only has a genuine 55,000 on the clock :o Thanks very much, it's a tidy looking car anyway and get's a lot of attention. Never before have I had people speak to me at lights or petrol stations but yes the plans are big and should make it a great car. :) Fair...

Haha good eye, I ordered them online and they gave an option of singular plugs or buy 4 together which was cheaper. I forgot to add 2 extra which is down to the fact I've always owned 4cyl cars. As soon as they arrived I realised and purchased 2 more.

Time to start a progress thread, I've wanted a Toyota Supra since I was a kid and being friends with @rob_sri didn't help as his is absolutely awesome. I've spent the last 6 months looking for one and in that time have been enjoying both my Clio 172 Cup and MX5, unfortunately both have had to...
