Hi I'm Rommies: Car Updates!!!

[SP33DYV]

hahahahahaha true true!!! Hopefully i can make it to the nearest garage! Can I call you speedy when I'm next to the road...then you can tow me to the meetup with your 1M haha raise: :fencelook:

You can call me, but I'm not towing you with the 1M. :nono:

Will rather tow you with the TT.

Rommies your car is seriously epic dude. :bravo:

 

[OppositeLockMT]

180km/h on the speedo? Mine says 240km/h :fencelook:

I joke, very unique car you have there. There's a certain "bossness" about Supras that I can't put my finger on. Que the opening of new tabs on my web browser to look for Supras on Japanese/UK websites. :rollsmile:

 

[Rommies]

lol ... yeah unfortunately the JAP law only permits a maximum for 180 km/h.
There is TRD Speedo & Rev counters I can put it...it goes till 320km/h and 12k rpm but they are insanely expensive.

Next mods to come:
Some cosmetics around the back and inside
Rolling of arches
See if I can sort out the bonnet alignment (or maybe carbon hood)
new bonnet insulation
Re-tint of windows
Dyeing and restoring inside carpets (to black)
Upgrade of Audio System.
Fixing the cigarette lighter
Re gassing / fixing aircon
OEM Top Shock Mountings
Decent Aftermarket reclinable racing seats
TRD Gauges
upgrades brakes with braided lines

Ultimately:
Single Turbo conversion with AEM V2 Engine Management System

So yes...there is still a few stuff to attend to...and hopefully my bank account will hold it out. I doubt if I would get everything done this year but I will start as soon as possible.

 

[Mr_T]

Looks slick with the new wheels :thumbs:

 

[Rommies]

@Mr_T: Thanks man! I very happy. Really does the car justice.

Do you maybe know where I could find OEM top suspension mountings?
Like from Scrap yards / drifters etc.?
Or maybe someone that changed their supra suspension and no longer require the OEM top mountings?

Thanks

Watched the first Fast and Furious again yesterday. I really want a supra now - not in that ungainly orange colour ofcourse.:fencelook:

 

[Rommies]

@OppositeLockMT: lol quite a cool movie that! My first Supra I ever drove in was in Namibie (2011 Dec)and it was also orange! We took it on that long straight salt roads (Henties Baai)....all I can say is...man oh man...I just had to have a Supra!

:rollsmile:

Ps: I managed to find a guy with a Supra, he is "giving" me his whole OEM suspension/ including the top mountings etc. etc.
What a nice chap. If it fits...I will obviously offer him something for them. Hopefully I'll get the stuff at a good price!
My car is at Koni SA at the moment, and the suspension goodies will be dropped off around 12pm. **holding thumbs!**

 

[Rommies]

Top mountings fitted 100%! People from Koni is impressed and pleased! :=):
Once again...Koni SA gave great service at a great price! Thanks to Steve!!! raise:

Here is some pics of the stance/height of the car. all in all it looks good!! I can go over bumps now!

Got all the OEM suspension goodies from a very nice chap (ReaperST from the jdmimport forum!) Thanks to him my ride is much more comfortable and "knocking noise" is gone!!!! :rollsmile:

...we need more people like that in the community!

Looking good Rommies. :thumbs:

They guys at Koni are really great.
Seeing them tomorrow for my sagging prob.

 

[Rommies]

Cool Thanks Thunder!

Your car will be in good hands! They know their stuff. Just the way Steve talks explains why they are so busy. raise:
Remember that suspension article in the Speed and Sound about setup and quality springs and items... that made me feel that I took my car to the correct place! :rollsmile:

 

[moranor@axis]

Is the car running on Koni and H&R now? seems lower to me and i see the H&R box in the one pic :rollsmile:
