cjlavery Looking good mate, how far along are you now? ill be at JAE this year obviously me car isn't no comparison to the Sup, lol but yeah will be good to see her. i do like the white but do you have plans in paint job?
Hi Chris
Sorry mate only just checked back on the thread
, i'm hoping to start my NA-T engine conversion this winter which i'll be fitting a thicker headgasket to start with to allow me to run higher boost as the compression ratio will be dropped.Paint wise i'm looking at having it resprayed in a rare colour that only the Yanks got for an Anniversary edition Supra in 1995 for that year only which is a pearlescent white called Diamond White Pearl which looks like so

It's hard to distinguish in pics but this is it compared to a flat white that mine currently is

I'm wanting to go for a more subtle classy stock look keeping the current front lip but going with the stock skirts and a TRD half carbon which will look like this

I really want these wheels I think the black lip and white centres will look amazing on the Supra

And those wheels are awesome, it look like the tyres are just mounted straight onto the spokes. lol

03-04-2019, 04:46 AM #242I must admit I was reading that thinking 'surely white is just white?' but when you put them next to each other your super duper diamond one definitely has more of a 'shimmer' to it, looks good :thumbup1:

yeah pearl white is a really difficult colour to photograph to really show it off but as you say when you see it next to a flat white it's pretty evident
Yeah looks like the spokes are floating

03-04-2019, 10:55 AM #245haha cheers Mike, yeah i'm properly in love with those wheels think the stock with TRD and lip look is perfect and generally a lot more usable and easier to repair as a day to day car

With the car taking a trip to Le Mans in under a week I decided i wanted to do a small service on her as she will be doing a lot of miles, so with the help of Toxo we set about oil and filter swap, fuel filter and also Aux belt.
The Aux belt was in a particularly bad state lol
![[Image: 30m62k8.jpg]](http://i46.tinypic.com/30m62k8.jpg)
The final thing that was needed to be done was to replace a snapped hub stud as it appears that when the two front tyres were replaced one of the lug nuts was over tightened and sheered the stud off the hub.
I've also received a couple of new aesthetic parts too but i shall update later with those when they are fitted ;-)
