Hay all. Ok long day today working on the Supra again. Vibra-Technics came down today to test there uprated gear box mount on my car. And it fitted pretty damn well. So they will me developed and if anyone is interested in them let me know and AKS can get the ordered up for you.
So first batch of pics is the gear box mount upgrade.

Ok for the last job of the day I wanted to relocate my aeromotive fuel pressure regulator.
Ok, were to? I decided to remove an engine loom holder as this would be the ideal place.

And after I fitted a longer fuel line to the fuel rail, bolted everything on. Finished Alexs bracket worked a treat!
