My new Supra - 650bhp T88-34D Single Turbo
Discussion
As it transpired, this weekend was a fun one with the car! Went down to Driftland in Fife with Team Beard. Nice little drive down and as it ended up won club stand of the show - we only had my Supra, marcAB10's Supra, Monsween's Supra, a GS300 and 2 mk1 MX-5s! Great success!
Here are a few pictures from the journey to the show and of the cars on the stand:
A good one showing the arch flare:
Following the show, we decided to get things in motion with my pending parts! Last night resulted in finally getting the carbon HKS Kansai lip and Shine carbon diffuser fitted! I'm really pleased with both parts! That has been almost a year that I've had them both so to finally see them fitted is great! I don't know of any other carbon Kansai lips in the UK either? This pleases me
I much prefer the diffuser being on there as well as the height all the way round is balanced a little more and it compliments the lip as well. Awesome!
I don't know of anything else that I want to do to the exterior apart from put on my private plate (unless I eventually smooth the aerial, rear washer nozzle + wiper etc.) so I think it is externally complete! Now it is just a case of enjoying it as is!

The wheels are +50 all round. That is the 'Supra fitment' that CCW make. If I wanted a more aggressive layout then I would have had to opt for the CCW LM20 instead of the Classic model, though I'd struggle to get the bigger tyre on. A friend has a different set of wheels in +24 (I think running a spacer as well now actually) and had to put on much narrower tyres to clear. It looks great for stance, but that wasn't the route I was wishing to go so the +50 works out great for accommodating the 315.
I was at a Scottish Capri Club meet on Sunday. There is a little oval track at the venue so I took the car round. By the time I was getting towards the top of 2nd I had to put the anchors on for the corners. It sounded good though Here are the pictures and a video that someone took:

Not much has changed with the car since fitting the carbon accents, apart from putting my smaller personal reg plate on.
Still loving it as much as ever.
Considering some upgrades over the winter (some cams and upping the boost a bit).
Was just about to say before I saw this pic, thought you needed a smaller front plate/sticker plate, even though I'm not usually a fan of stubbies it really works here. Awesome car.Still loving it as much as ever.
