  1. Sorry fixed. I knew I should have hosted all this on one of my servers lol
  2. Will start a new thread shortly awaiting for my bling to be finished....Going to take a while I suppose but today arrived my new project =)
  3. Going to start cutting off all the old loom and replacing it with a heat resistant loom. Also got something that has never been done on the Supra up my sleeve. Hint- Its going to bring a whole new level of bling to the engine bay. I am debating on what to do with the rear area. I am thinking of installing an additional 5 Gallon tank or maybe too one for E-85 and one for C16. And add an additional set of injectors to the intake. I also have to get a battery back there...so im trying to figure out how i want to tie it all together.
  4. I didnt like the rubber hose going all the way to the tranny cooler so I changed it up a bit. Re- reouted a few small things and am going to install so new Sway bars and megan suspension items. I am trying to test out the different items and figure out what negatives they have before I build my own from scratch. Well enough talk onto a few pics =)
  5. Check your rear sway bar and make sure it isnt damaged.
  6. Odyssey Battery here. I dont care for Optimas
  7. I just wanted a perfect all around street car with this one. I think this is the setup that will achieve that.
  8. Thanks. Aiming for around 800-900 HP through a TH400 on a 74MM =) Hopefully close to the 1k mark if we use free HP
  9. The whole car is going black to match the engine bay.
  10. Not much to report. Ordered some brand new inner tie rods, megan racing adjustable tie rod ends, and megan racing adjustable rear toe control arms. I already have the megan racing coilover and the megan racing rear traction rods installed. I forgot to leave clearance for the front stabilizer bar so I have to fabricate something to put in its place. Maybe strengthen it up a bit. making some lower and upper control arms out of chromoly. Thinking of what else I can throw in the CNC machine or make out of chromoly to upgrade anything available. Thoughts? What parts would you like to see CNCed or made out of chromoly? Looks and performance wise?
  11. Thanks man. One of the first major additions to the house I purchased.
  12. Going to be creating a custom twin kit for another Supra stay tuned =)
  13. I will get the drawing posted up. Is yours in tank or out of tank? You actually utilize some of the stock fuel pump wiring. You might be able to see in the pic I posted where you tap into it for the signal then run your power to the relays. Then from the relay to the pump
  14. Thanks! Im glad you enjoyed it. I tired to keep comments to a minimum and allow the pictures to tell the story.
  15. Get transmission fluid hose from a local auto part store.
  16. Yes hardtops here bring a premium. Getrags are insanely priced here. To do a swap using new-like new parts will run about 10k US. You can find them occasionally just the 6 Speeds with a syncro bad or the like for $3k or so. I like my TH400 better anyways =)
  17. I have triple walboros with 2 gauge wire ran from the battery to the rear. Here is the correct way to wire your pumps up.
  18. Good point. Stateside we dont have that option. Let me know when you come across a couple nice Getrags in those scrap yards =) Hardtops there are more common than Targas (aeros) correct? Here it is the opposite. In any event if you need any help guides, suggestions, tool list etc. for the swaps let me know I can guide you with pics via PM or over the forum for other members.
  19. Do NOT do the 12v mod. It isnt worth it. Use a 12V relay made by bosch. The 12V mod will burn out your pump (s) faster and there is no gain. Safety: It is not safe to do the 12V mod.
  20. Taken from a post I made in the past: Things people dont tell you when you are building a Supra: ust some little fun shit Ive noticed during my build. Figured it could be added too. No real purpose. * How much all the little shit cost. Nuts, bolts, hoses etc * The amount of money you REALLY spend * The 8 hours of parts washing to realize your only half way done. * How much of a pain in the ass it is to get the bitch bolt off * How much money you donate to shipping parts overnight to realize you need more * Thinking you have everything planned out to realize you have only begun * Changing your mind on parts cost a fortune and selling your other shit sucks * Putting fittings on braided line is a royal pain in the ass * Nothing ever goes as planned and everything takes at least double the time anticipated. * How many cuss words you can create in your mind while doing all the above * Satisfaction when you see what you have done for the day...Priceless * Check all orders before you place them as you will need more stuff trust me *Pay overnight shipping on something to realize it just sits on a shelf for a month and looks shiny * Ken- Do not pull your motor out unless you have too otherwise you will be spending large amounts on money on stuff you didnt intend to do Expect to spend around $100 in new bolts and nuts that you already had. At LEAST $100 in gas running to discount/advanced auto. A good oven to cook parts that dont fit properly =) You need cheap stuff you dont care about lying around so when you need to break something it is easily accesseble. Plan to buy tools- No matter how many you have you need just 1 (lol) more.
  21. LOL nice reference. Its funny you mention that though as I have most likely spent more money in shipping and overnighting than I did on the purchase price of the car lol
