    Polish Sir?

    A tin of polish that costs more than a pukka paint job anyone? http://www.theultimatefinish.co.uk/swissvax/divine-hand-blended-carnauba-wax.aspx
  2. The fuel cap is also a 2psi pressure release valve.
  3. Has the charcoal cannister been removed?
  4. Today I went Supra shopping. At the scrapyard I found; A piece of aluminium sheet and a rear door trim off a people carrier of some sort, to make the cold-air box. A Bosch fuel injector pig-tail from a 'didn't look'? for the charge-cooler water-pump connection. And column-loom male and female connectors cut from a Celica, to re-pin and use to upgrade the Suprastick installation to 'plug&play', whilst integrating the Hecklertronics into the Toyota and Suprastick ECU looms. Then a good hunt around Kerons' Suprabilia turned up another host of treasures; A n/s boot foam, a carpet without a hole in it and even a few screws and clips, now I can tidy up the trim in the 'boot'. A U.K. spec D.D. radio C/D to complete the dash build, when the instruments and Hecklertronic gear-lights looms go in. And a rear light fault activation ecu to get the dash warning light working. The jobs continue to create more jobs.
  5. 1 David2009 1 t-one234 2.25 Shane & Carmers 1 Guigsy (im very busy this month. so cant commit 100% but if im free ill make it.) 1 Fizzle (with a long over due present for shane ) That makes around 6.25 or maybe 7.25
  6. All the info is posted on page 2. Do you want me to book you a dinner?
  7. You're getting excited because you're the only member to have seen it in the 'flesh'. I won't be changing the engine, just transplanting the conversion from the jig engine onto the car engine. Fine weather and workshop access permitting, I keep tinkering away at it and the hit-list is getting shorter, even though every job done contrives to create a few more. I will soon need to decide on a date for the engine tuner and rolling road. Today I final-fitted the components in the 'boot', a miles odo and the LED's into the dash ready for the transmission display. Here's an updated Supercharger Day hit-list. 8. Fit and plumb the HHO generators and pump. (Need a dryer tank, some silicone hose, clips and hose connectors) 7. Sort out the electrickery for; Battery relocation, solar panel charger, HHO system, water/meth injection, EGT and boost data logging looms, charge-cooler pump and the transmission display. 6. Find some 2mm aluminium sheet and rubber door seals then fabricate a cold-air filter box. 5. Get and fit Adams' T.T. throttle and cruise cables. (Maybe soon I hope?) 3. Bulge the bonnet? (Dreading this job) 2. Find an AEM or GReddy (1/8" NPT) 3 bar MAP sensor. (Hoping a used one will turn up) 1. Buy 10-50W engine oil, water-wetter, methanol, distilled water and uprated rad cap. (No rush for these) Then I can fit the supercharger conversion.
  8. I have fitted the battery into the divot, wired it through a 150amp mega fuse and an isolator switch which will make further electrical jobs simpler and the OE polystyrene blank has been remodelled to cover . Including the battery, wire, mini bobbin, mega-fuse and solar panel, all done for less than £200. The water/meth tank is built up with level sensor, fitted and plumbed.
  9. Analogues are easier to monitor than digidoolallitals and the grouping will help too. The stepper motor gauges have warning lights if anything goes beyond the norms and the ECU will know what the AEM's are reading. After the conversion proves it can be trusted they will become mostly functional ornaments.
  10. That looks like the Barneybrendanmobile?
  11. Thank you for the kind words. Post a comment next time you visit. I am a thoughtful balding tinkerer and enjoy a challenge, whatever I need to know, I learn.
  12. AEM Air Fuel Ratio (data logging) Boost pressure (data logging) Exhaust Gas Temp (data logging) Water/meth flow (data logging) Stepper Motor Engine oil pressure Charge cooler water temp Engine oil temp Transmission fluid temp Diff oil temp Volts Maintaining both air vents and without distracting pillar mounted gauges, I will be able to monitor much of what is going on and no digidoolallitals.
  13. The last of the gauges have arrived, so I have plonked them into vacant holes. The looms are all in except for the AEM boost and EGT which will get promoted from the 6er to the 4 gauge pod after the Heckler circuitry arrives and the dash has to come out to fit.
  14. Try Meatloaf, Like a bat out of hell, maybe.
  15. Mine is registered January 1995. I would think that when it goes back next year with the supercharger on, it will get the same privilege because the engine will still be a GE.

    Dated Dash

    Digital gauges fizz my chip.
  17. Sunday dinner was as good as ever and I have informed the Piper to expect 5 eaters. To save embarrassment and making excuses that I have been too busy building the car to clean it, I have paused the projects for a spring clean, inside and out. I have found a quite respectable Supra underneath. Guigsy, Is your 'maybe', leaning towards a probability or an unlikleyhood?

    Dated Dash

    Ideal for anyone who has had their left leg amputated and a bionic ear fitted to the stump.
  19. I think that was me on my way to Keron to pick up a part or two.

    Dated Dash

    I think they swapped it for a 'loud' pedal.
