MrLolololXD's 2002 Toyota Supra SZ-R

[The Compensator]

What about yellow-ish or gold/copper calipers? Would be a good combo with the body color.

[killalldude]

Can't really go wrong with red. But if you want a more subtle look, I'd go with silver calipers.

[TDUFREAK500]

I would say red if you are gonna go with black wheels :)

[Mb]

The calipers on my car were red when i bought it.

 

I HATE THEM TO DEATH! Ultimate ricer mod. I'm not going to bother with repainting them as that is a pain in the ass. Going to upgrade the brakes later anyway. :cheeky:

[Ryzza5]

Weren't you going to respray the entire car later anyway? Which colour were you going for?

 

Get some British Racing Green callipers.

On a blue Peugeot?

 

:panic:

[Guest MrLolololXD]

Yes but it's gonna be the same colour it is now :p

 

I'm starting to grow on the pale gold/copper colour, I'll have to check out different pics of Supras with black wheels to hopefully get more of an idea on what I think would look good.

 

I don't think any colour would look too ricey, they are the big 4 pot monoblocks, they look simiar to Brembos plus I have the slotted discs to go on. :hmmm:

On the Harley's Supra :oook:

Oh lol. I thought you were replying to Mb.

 

Well then, BRG on a Japanese GT coupe!?!

 

:panic:

[Guest MrLolololXD]

I'm thinking I'll go gold now :hmmm:

[Guest MrLolololXD]

Okay well I went out today and bought some caliper paint, ending up getting black. Figured I'd repaint them the standard colour for now then maybe repaint them again once I get new wheels.

 

So now I have everything to make my brakes like new again, discs, pads, fluid, caliper paints and the caliper 'Supra' logos :D

I've also ordered a new leather handbrake boot/surround from Redline Goods which will match the shifter surround I got from them a few months ago. Also trying to track down a part number so I can order a new handbrake lever because it'll be the only thing that isn't new in that area of the car, but it's proving pretty hard to find so far.

 

Also wanting to get some new heater control buttons soon because the ones on it now have yellowed a bit, which is obvious in the night shot above, plus I want to put some new white led's behind them to better suit the gauge face brightness.

 

And I had the odo on the speedo set to 92,000kms, so I'm still a few hundred kms off installing it. Might have a play around with it though and see if I can't rewind it a few hundred kms to match the cars correct mileage so I can install it sooner though because installing it on exactly 92,000kms will be a hard game to play :mhmm:

[Guest MrLolololXD]

Got my front brakes done on Sunday. Will do the rears this weekend, then the next weekend I'll pull all the calipers off again, repaint them black etc. then flush the whole system with new brake fluid

 

Pics!

Changing brakes, a good family bonding activity. Had my own two apprentices today, my dad and my brother :D

The wider tyres look the goods from the back too :drool:

Rear brakes are finally done now too, now all that's left is to repaint the calipers in the coming weeks

Now I just gotta get the dent fixed, bumpers painted, HID light kit installed and get it rego'd in time to be displayed at a Toyota show in 30 days... :eek:

[TimBud]

Looking really nice there Lol! :cool:

[Ryzza5]

Do you actually plan on driving the thing [legally] this year? :lol:

 

 

Looking great

[mau92]

So far so good!

I'll say it again, I like that workshop very much!

[The Compensator]

Yeah, dat garage. :drool:

 

Dat car, too.

[calster17]

She's coming along nicely. :btup

 

Put me in the mood to finally get round to ordering new pads & disks, as well as some Plasti dip for the calipers...dunno what colour.

[Guest MrLolololXD]

Thanks guys :D And yeah Ryzza, I hope to have it registered by the 10th of next month :p

 

Found some wheels I want too :hmmm:

 

 

Work Meister 2 piece S1R's, with the gunmetal centre. Basically the same as the picture above, except 5 stud obviously and each spoke would be approx. 2.5 inches longer (15" pictured, I'd go for 18"s)

[TIMELESS]

Just when I was about to say I approve of the original rims..

[me™]

A Supra on Workmeisters, eh? This belongs to an acquaintance of mine...

 

[Guest MrLolololXD]

I didn't realise just how dirty they actually were :eek: :p

[The Compensator]

I want to polish our car, too. Damn swirls everywhere. :(

 

When is the repaint planned?

[Guest MrLolololXD]

Respray is planned for very soon, this week I'll be starting to pull it apart for it, i.e: taking off the indicators, door handles, spoiler, window trims, window washer squirters, pulling the head and taillights out etc.

 

:)
