Thanks mate :)
Would definitely recommend the refresh.. for how much it cost too! Car feels SO much tighter!
Just can't wait to give it some punishment when the weather improves and get it on a track to test the limits because even in the wet at normal road speeds it feels so much more...
Quite a while since I've updated this.. but I've been busy with Christmas etc and a lot of attention has gone on getting my supra back on the road for summer
Still.. looking back through my camera roll I can see I gave it a good clean with the new lights in [emoji23]
Love Monaco in...
cheers mate :) im seriously rating the 1144's.. very good braking performance and for the price of them too you cannot go wrong! ive done some hard tests and they seriously grab well + with the new discs/fluid its transformed the braking!

Cheers mate :)
So it's on..! I very cautiously cut the holes with a Dremel after measuring a friends 182
Took ages with measuring and re-measuring about 10 times before finally making the cut
Got the twin pipes fitted by John Ashley Exhausts in Walsall who did a great job along with fitting...
Hi I have just bought a RS Tuner and im aware i will need a unlock code for it to work..
I have the 98 ron map that i bought for my 182
can i use that map with the 172 or are they different?
cheers :)
So at the weekend I took the 172 to Wales for a good blast
It handles SO much better on the new yokohamas + b14s
the grip even in the wet is brilliant!!! (Being as it rained sideways pretty much all weekend I had plenty of opportunities to test it) and I can honestly say I certainly rate the...
New cup spoiler brake light
Part number 7700429000 for anyone searching...
My old one was looking a bit scabby, plus when I was cleaning the earths from an intermittent fault it pretty much fell apart inside! Could have probably resoldered it but it was only £30
Awesome dan.. Think I may sort out a meet sometime soon at a dyno place nearby, there a quite a few brummies on here!
Clio update:
Failed mot :( tester was VERY anal.. Tyres were 2mm and over wear markers but were due a change.. I was hoping not to change them till payday though!

New rear discs and b14's

Fitted the wheel :)
And then disaster struck! Somehow the power steering pump seized.. And I think I managed to flick something into the aux belt run too because this is the state of the pulley.. Still a mystery to what happened
One very fucked belt..
Something hit the sump too...
Yeah he did a great job tbf mine was mild but I'm gonna get him to do this at some stage in stainless :)
Also he gives me some pretty good discount known him for years.. Say you've spoken to me on the forums and he will sort you out a decent price.. :)
cheers james, the black 182 does have a progress thread although i think alot of the pictures have gone from it now.. think it was rob_sri's stealthy 182 thread or something like that il find the link..

Cheers guys :) it's been a long time since I updated as just been so busy!
I still miss my black one! That was a little beast!..Was nice having the extra power from the cams and map.
Think I'm going to stick an RS Tuner map on this one and get some decent suspension/rarb on etc too to give it...
Well.. A lot has changed since I updated last..
It's been polished..(again)
It had a little accident...
Yeahhhhh... Whoops!! My fault entirely..! Someone tried to squeeze past me on a narrow country road and smacked my mirror back.. She just drove at me full speed ahead, I was pretty...
