Test drive on Saturday

[djbilly]

Car customising has passed me by at my age, but depending on how long i keep the car i'd consider a Stage 1, Black Gloss mirror caps (although the price seems mental but being matt plastic is a cheap looking bugbear!) and either changing the wheels, or refurbing them to plain black or a dark bronze.

I got my wheels powder coated in a colour called 'Black Copper'.

Picked her up this morning and couldn't be happier, my son absolutely loves it aswell. Forgot how quick this car feels. Did have some back end wiggle when I floored it, im assuming some better tyres will fix this?

I've got ams wind buffeting kit to go on, some 20mm eibach springs. Still not sure what size spacers to go with.

Happy to be part of the club now and hopefully get to some events in near future

I can't see past PS4S. Great tyres.

15mm rear and either 12 or 13 mm front.

Those look great! How much did the powder coat run?

IIRC it was about £240, but that was a special offer they were running back in Jan/Feb.

I think you're looking at £250-£300 in general.

Up the tires to something wider like 285-295/35/19's. As for spacers, 13/15mm is the way to go.

Can you fit those wider tires on the stock wheels without issues? Rubbing or anything else?

That's fine, yes.

I'll have a look for a third party tracker. Thatcham used to be recognised by insurance companies aswell so I'll get some prices.

I looked here and it seems the Supra has some sort of Thatham approval but i can't find anything on the Toyota site. https://www.thatcham.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/March-2022-OE-1.pdf

I'm about to re-insure and it makes a difference!

The topcashback comparison site automatically completes the car info and autoselects Thatcham Device for the alarm/imob (over manufacture fitter or aftermarket) but i am not sure that is correct?
