Ok been a while since I last updated this, so here's what's happened
Front lip has now arrived from America and i'm just waiting for my friend to get back from holiday to get some bodywork touch-ups done and to modify/spray/fit the new lip which will be end of this month so should be all sorted for Ace Cafe
I've found the wheels i'm going for which are XXR 502's in black with a polished lip which i think are going to look awesome on the Supra

I won't be getting these wheels until next year though as they will be summer wheels only and i'll just keep my WedSport's for winter
Last night me and Toxo tackled replacing the front/rear ARB's aswell as track rod ends and also new drop-links, had some issues with the drop links but nothing a little grinding couldn't fix
. I knew the rear arb was shot before I bought the car and couldn't believe how bad it was when we got it off![[Image: 302106_10150288631511644_689086643_82832...2012_n.jpg]](https://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/302106_10150288631511644_689086643_8283219_1995012012_n.jpg)

Snapped clean through lol, wasn't even connected at one side.........sooo i'm now awaiting to hear back from WIM about getting her booked in for geo alignment as i'm 100% certain the wheels are not pointing in the correct direction but the car does feel miles better to drive even with fudged geometry.
I'm starting to get to the stage now where i'll be sourcing and buying my GTE engine to rebuild but i can't see it being this side of xmas unfortunately......other than this there will be a couple of other mods to make her sound a little better for the Ace Cafe meet but i'll unveil those there

Can you get those wheels without the stupid multi-PCD centres? I've always thought that looked daft. I.E. 5 holes instead of 9.
I've never seen a snapped ARB like that before, I reckon RIAS must've activated at some point when the ARB was already under load. Unless it's common on MKIVs?! You forgot that the front ARB bushes were shot too

I agree the multi-pcd isn't ideal but they are the best compromise in terms of what i'm looking for, i think you can get them with just the 5 stud but will need to double check
