My new weekend toy - Supra TT :-)

Born_2_Kill_83 · 5 Aug 2015 at 12:43

Still haven't straightened up that intercooler :-(

In fact it looks like it's moved more, looks like hell on a perfect car.

I don't like the different colored wheel nuts, reminds me when I used to attach them little plastic things out of cereal boxes to my bike spokes.

My Auto TT had a massive amount of turbo lagg if you floored it from 40mph, can you confirm if yours is the same? Generally kick downs where good at any other speed apart from 40.

What are the wheels called?

Much better than the old ones, should put a bigger spacer in the back though, looks a bit skinny still.

Looks amazing. I always think 95% of supras look awkward with aftermarket wheels, however you have just made the car look 'epic'. Them wheels are fantastic, complete the look of the car.

You put that so well. I couldn't find any wheels that i liked on my supra. Those looks superb though.

Ill straighten that Intercooler before the next lot of pics, I wanted to wait till I had painted all my spare intercooler pipes when I tart the bay up but people keep mentioning it so ill have to do it before that lol

As for the wheel nuts mate, your the only person that dont like them...

In time I will do but the rear studs are much harder to get out compared to the fronts but its on the list.

Just a short clip my friend took
Blitz Nur Spec R, turbo flutter..

Jumper118 · 5 Aug 2015 at 20:53

does it spit flames?

insane200 · 5 Aug 2015 at 20:53

Very nice supra, Be the Nur spec sounds awesome on full chat, I had the same on my 200sx was so loud but no one ever moaned.

See quite a few supra's around lately, would love one my self but i think i would have to go UK spec TT manual.

I find it too loud and prefer it with the bung, it has a better idle. TT UK Manual is like rocking horse poo, and will cost around 15k

Yeah i know, Checked a few years ago for insurance and how much it would cost me, and surprisingly i was cheaper than my 200sx but they were 10k back then.

A little update

Engine bay

I bought a spare set of turbo pipes ages ago and I managed to hand them into work as we have a paintshop, the lads did a great job...

Not bad for free

Having taken the turbo pipes off years ago when I changed my turbo I knew it was a PITA, and after loads of swearing I managed to take it off. I decided to paint the heat shield and water neck with wrinkle/crinkle paint whilst everything was off. I also bought some new gaskets for the water neck as well as cam cover gaskets as that will be painted next...

Here are a few progress shots

Where it started

After a clean up

After painting and a few bits dipped and the spark plug cover crinkle painted

Not happy about the red at the back of engine so I will be finding a way to hide that.

Prep and Paint

Picture with the heat shield on and 2nd turbo pipe and battery stay

Everything fitted (Minus strut brace)

Cam Covers Painted

Cam cover removed to reveal the mess

Cleaned up

Coil Pack Clips broken

Luckily I had bought new ones when I went BPU last year

Pipe sat behind the cam cover needed a paint

New Spark Plugs

It made sense...

Preping and Painting

I made a paint booth out of thick insulatuon I had in the basement, and sanded the cams down to bare metal...

New Parts

Ordered new cam washers, and breather hoses as mine had to be chopped up, these were a fortune!

I also ordered new cam seals and grommet as previously pictured.

End Results

The intake side just needs to be done now but I will wait the weather stops me from driving it.

I will be ordering a new better quality IC as mine was an eBay special so this gives me the perfect opportunity to straighten it and get the pipe work painted black.

Also realised these pictures I took a while back are not in this thread...

Look amazing mate, really tempted by a supra turbo for my next car.
