thats sounds great, saw your car at the j10 meet a while back, lovely unmolested example, top job

Thanks I've wanted to keep it standard as there arent many stock TT Supras left in this country. The main things I've done are to refurb it back to its former glory

Only mods I'm seriously considering are a UK spec bonnet scoop(still standard really!) and a 2nd decat and thats it really!

Hi all, just thought I'd do the right thing and update this thread with everything I've done to the Supra since I last posted on here:


Blitz SUS air filter fitted


Blitz 2nd decat fitted


Black Diamond grooved discs and new stock pads fitted


Silicon intercooler hose fitted


Goodrich braided brake hoses on and some nice new dot 5.1 fluid in too

Next will be to fit a heatshield for the Blitz sus filter and a nice set of Iridium plugs

Really nice to meet you guys yesterday at the Boost meet

oh and heres some tasteful pics of the beasty:

Lookin good dude....keep up the good work......

Got the cusco strut brace fitted. Installed it in under 15 mins and its a top quality bit of kit, amazingly precise fit with no fouling at all.

Here it is, test fitted before fixing it down with the strut tower bolts:



The JDM gibberish thats attached to it lol



Finally fitted and adjusted:


Thought I'd also post up a pic of the end plate welding on this bar. A welded strut brace is always better than a bar with bolts that attach it to the the rings. Bolts etc
provide flex, so anything thats solid will obviously be more rigid



Has deffo made a difference and the steering definately feels 'stiffer' combined with much better road holding from the front when giving some beans into a corner

Also fitted a set of Denso IK22 iridium plugs to finish the modding off nicely:

Copper plugs replaced with IK22s as seen here:

Cheers mate, I just need a few more blue silicon hoses to finish the look off. I'm not really into bling etc, but I needed to replace an old OEM rubber intercooler pipe and I got the blue silicon replacement at good price, so I thought I'd stick it in

Thanks - I live in the Wolverhampton area, although I do pop to Cannock once in a blue moon

loooking good mate, get some pics posted up on www.japanesemodifiedcars.com

More moddage updates:

Cusco Brake Master Cylinder Stopper fitted:





This (combined with the braided brake hoses and 5.1 fluid) has improved the brake feel a great deal

I've also just received some white dials from Visual Performance, which I intend to fit soon:

Nice looking parts there Hadyn..........

nice bit of kit mate!

Installed the Visual Performance white dials today.

Job was pretty relaxing, but took a little longer than expected as I had to relocate some of the lighting wires to stop the revometer needle getting stuck I'm really pleased with the results, so see what you think -

Heres some pics to show you through the process:


original dials getting ready to be taken out


thats all thats left once you've ripped the dash and dials out on a Supra, lol


Old dial cluster out of the car and ready to be opened up


New dials fitted over old ones by carefully sliding them over the needles and positioning them
