Rob_SRi NA/T Supra Build + Restoration..

[Pep]

Love this, once worked with a guy who had a 1200bhp one that was pretty special. I really want to buy one, future classic I reckon.

 

[TomSRi]

Just discovered this tread, what an amazing project so far! One of my favourite cars on here.

 

[Stefan.]

:approve: Awesome

I retract my previous statement.....Had to sneak a f&f line in here somewhere.

 

[BoatNonce]

Not far ...!

'Az it got boost?

 

[rob_sri]

haha!! its bloody close! really excited to get the new engine and all the goodies in some pretty advanced standalone management should pay off massively too

thats just insane!! I dont wanna go too far power wise with this and keep it nice and drivable but we'll see.. ive been known to say similar things before! my old clio was staying standard as was my forged S3

 

[DaveDreads]

I need to see this thing in person, so awesome.

 

[JCC]

Stunning.

I had an opportunity to buy my mate's old N/A cheap at the start of this year, I should have done it :dapprove:.

 

[Dan...]

Looks amazing!

 

[Stay Puft]

A nice bit of love from Rota Wheels UK on Facebook!

 

[rob_sri]

Ahh no way! Thanks for letting me know

 

[rob_sri]

Maxxis and BDC joined in too

Few more bits today..

TiAL 44mm WG acquired and BC type RA Coilovers with new drop links should be arriving soon

 

[DaveDreads]

Tell them if they send you some free tyres you'll take some burnout shots they can use in adverts,
doesn't hurt to try your luck.

I like your thinking ! They did send me some stickers and a couple of key rings though!

 

[rob_sri]

Manifold, screamer and wastegate fitted up..

 

[DaveDreads]

Doomsday machine!

 

[rob_sri]

Started chopping the old suspension out.. Drop links were a bit stubborn so I got the old grinder out!

Rusty bits all scrubbed down with a wire brush..

Waxoyled body and high temp paint for the suspension components

 

[DaveDreads]

Impressive sparkage.

 

[rob_sri]

I was rather worries about setting myself on fire :-/ I also got told off for not looking where I was going by the mrs haha

 

[DaveDreads]

I'd be more worried about setting the arch liner on fire, you'll heal the car won't,
and watch where you're going next time. lol

 

[rob_sri]

Haha who needs arch liners!!

Bit more on the engine too today.. Fitted the turbo, intake and downpipe in place.. Really starting to come together I'm excited!!

 

[DaveDreads]

Pornography!

 

[Philip.]

The engine looks fantastic so far. Great work.

 

[mharvey]

Rubbish Can't wait till I convince you to sell this to me

 

[rob_sri]

So got the BC RS Type RA coilovers in today after picking them up after work

Think the lows make it look wider somehow!

Still gotta mess around with the height a bit so il get some proper SLR shots after

 

[rob_sri]

Rubbish Can't wait till I convince you to sell this to me

Never going to happen Matthew!!!!

 

[Philip.]

Christ, that arse end is just beautiful!

 

[Heez]

 

[DaveDreads]

 

[rob_sri]

HKS Hi Power Silent 3.5" system for the build! can't wait to get this on..

 

[Paul.M]

It looks absolutley awesome, a real credit to you!

 

[Al_G]

WOW.

 

[Ash']

Just wow.

 

[rob_sri]

Cheers guys they are metal monkey ones but I had them custom made to my spec... Not cheap but quality product!

Did an LED conversion too

And painted my needles

And instafail pic of the HKS Hi Power Silent system for my turbo build

And got my wheels refurbished... Long overdue!!!

Another cheeky shot of the carbon bootlid

S2k aerial fitted you can see the weave of the carbon on this pic too

 

[Ash']

The small things make a big difference. Your car is so epic!

 

[_Tom]

I don't normally like Supra's but I'm loving this. Top work.

 

[Addicted]

Looks lovely, the only thing I don't like is how dated the front lights look now-a-days - are there any tasteful front lights that bring the front a bit more up to date?

 

[Martin.]

Epic work.

 

[rob_sri]

Cheers all

Looks lovely, the only thing I don't like is how dated the front lights look now-a-days - are there any tasteful front lights that bring the front a bit more up to date?

There are facelift versions of these which are black inside with chrome rings and update it a bit at the front or glass uk spec lights which are same as these but obviously being glass don't fade!

Snow foam and machine polish after work today
