My word, this thing is totally awesome.
I love it, totally clean car, with some serious running gear too.
Was that car originally owned by RIGO somewhere in the past?
Thanks for reminding me how a black Supra should look, I've suddenly got a little more motivation to keep working away at mine

lol thanks Ian, shame it doesn't go like yours to boot.
I cant wait for the new motor to go in pete!!! say..... you wouldnt wanna sell it back to me after you slap that motor in aye??? lol!! :biglaugh:
So i decided on a Prosport wideband for the car and ordered it but i have no idea where to put it that won't either cut into the car or leave screw holes.
Double sided tape and i don't see eye to eye so if anyone has any suggestions feel free to post up.

Amazing car - so clean! :aigo:
What about a 2 guage A-pillar pod? They make them specific to the A70 and you should be able to get a nice colour match. A 2 guage one will let you keep the 'handle' and the shape of the A70 tends to hide the guages fairly well.

Who sells them? The only ones i'd seen were a cut and fit universal type.:thumbdown
There was some info on pillar pods posted in this thread:

Good luck and awesome to hear you are keeping everything tasteful. A tacky Turbo A would be a crime

I like the autometer 2 pod design and i can get it colour matched or take it to my trimmer and get it recovered in the same colour, sweet thanks guys for the links.:bigthumb:

I can supply you with a Full length 2 pod RHD pillar pod that retains the grab handle as well lmk if you want to any more info.
Same As below.
The greddy one is a Poor fit and it half covers the grab handle holes so you can use it I got one from rhd japan saw how poor it was and sold it the next day!

Just an update guys, old engine is out...new is about to go in.The turbo i was going to use was the mike turbo 60-1 with the upgraded garrett cartridge, but unfortunaely it's stuffed so i'll be useing the back up turbo for now which is a genuine turbo-a high flow job.:cry: I've measured the throttle body on the Turbo-a and its 68mm so they are slightly larger than the jdm one, and later today i should have the cams off to do a comparison on.
heres pics.
Old
new
(note engine above is still dirty after coming out of my cressida i'll clean it up later)
This little girl is right beside me on the wall at the moment so i'll try not forget shes there and lean on her.
