Finally...... Car is dirty, but you get the idea.
-
Fingers crossed I can come guys, car is still on stands at the moment, and the dash is out. I've got a busy day tomorrow sorting out the suspension with the new wheels. Also fitting my ICE install which I started today.

Bump

Too bloody right too, bloomin number plate cowboys

My one will come out on nice days still. Also on days when I'm too cold or tired to use the bike. Got stuck in the snow last year in it, took me 6 hours to get home through what would normally be a 30min journey. Not something I want to repeat again. People were bumping into each other all around me, my petrol light was on, I was breathing out of my arse the whole time. The next day it snowed again around the time I finished work, so I walked 9 miles home.

Taken from the recently posted high res space pics thread.

Over 500bhp from hybrids is outrageous mate, definitely the highest I've ever heard of. I need stand alone fuel management next me thinks

Suprasurj owns his own phone shop, PM him, he knows everything there is to know about phones.

Not sure mate. I'm working at the moment so the earliest I can get back to it is Saturday. That involves getting the rubber on and dropping the car back onto the floor. Then if the suspension needs fettling, it all has to be on Saturday.

There's a light switch in the picture
-
Wow, glad the guy is ok. I have to agree with dude's comment about him spinning it out. The guy spun it loads on other vids. I understand that must be quite painful JP. I'd be in tears
-
Insane dude..........insane Thanks again for the spacers.
-
Phew, yours stuck out another 14mm?
-
I'll come along.
-
width is 8.5, offset is 38, spacer is 15mm
-
Yes, it's jacked up. The wheel is bolted onto the hub to keep it straight so I could get a good indication. Cheers JP, you've made me feel a bit better.
-
Got the spacers JP, nice one They've sorted the rears out a treat Now onto the fronts........... I've not mounted the rubber onto the rims yet, but had a quick mock up fit and I'm not so sure. from the side down the car profile, it doesn't look too bad. Then from the top, the lip protrudes slightly. Can anyone tell me whether the wheels are likely to pull in slightly when the car is dropped ?
-
That car came down to the last 2 ace meets. Ignoring the fact that it's an abflug kit, the car is in A1 condition. Paintwork and fitment is very good.
-
Blimey Ferg, you still here?
-
Good shout there, (especially with my old wheels on)
-
Wow, thanks for the mention fellas, I'm flattered It's a tough question to pose really as the supra has such a diverse following. Purists would obviously go for the stock look etc etc. I'd have to say Hodge's white monster (despite it not being finished). Reason is that he's done ALL the work himself, he has properly put his heart and soul into that car and it shows in his infalible attention to detail. Anyone can throw money at a car, but to build it themselves is that extra bit special.

wanted Good condition steering wheel and boss

The oil and water feeds are metal pipes You just want the gaskets for them.
-
replace all the oil/coolant feeds/drain gaskets. Including where the Y pipe from the turbos goes back into the sump. I left this one on mine and it failed after removing and refitting the turbos causing quite a drastic leak. If you haven't changed all the vacuum hoses already, get some new hose, as the original stuff goes brittle and hard making them split when removed. That's all I can think of at the moment. If I think of anything else, I'll let you know.
