I have had the car for some time now and after some carefull research I have started the mods. I am very particular with what brands I use, I am NOT into rice and only do things that will actually improve the car (stickers excluded :) )

Basically the next three pics are of the car on the first day I got it and next to it is the shot I took today, note also what a good digi camera can do (real colour)

Mods so far:

Removed fog lights

Tint

Black grill

Lowered (CUSCO street coil-overs)

Wheels (18 x 8)

Exhaust (APEXi 3.5" from cat)

Filter (BLITZ pod)

Lights (changed rear lights to later model items, this is my favourite mod so far)

Thanks guys, the car has the 7mgte engine....I doubt I will spend much on it, instead I will go for a 1J/2J sometime next year. Til then I want to get an LSD, later model front bar for fmic and the side skirts....OK, so maybe a little rice in your diet is good for you :)

Cam

Nice!

I'd like to have a chat with you sometime about it... hopefully if all went well you can see a pic of my Soarer in the avatar

Still working on it! i estimate that i'm getting around 160rwkw (was getting 142 on 5psi) It has the body kit you're after with spoilers etc.... i know of someone selling some too!

Send me an email! I had to join up here just to reply =)

INASNT...yeh the "Before" photo's were taken on my old Fuji 2800zoom (2mp) and the new ones were on my latest toy...Canon 300d (6.3mp) to give you a better idea of quality from this camera here is another pic at 1/3 size and jpeg8 comp.

Thanks Danners, I have been wanting to chat with someone who owns one of these....what is your email ??

blown a head gasket yet?

i'm sure you have done your research, but if not go to: www.supras.com and make sure you re re-torque the head bolts or the head gasket will let go.

this is coming from an ex-ma70 supra owner (it had the 7M-GE)

btw... love the car it looks awesome!

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
