I have also bought a used drivers side head light which this evening i have had in the oven to separate and then make into a 'headlight intake' I did try doing it without separating it initially but there's no way it would have come out to an acceptable standard as all the debris from cutting the back of the housing falls into the headlight. Tomorrow i need to find somewhere that sells 120mm OD pipe!

Yesterday i began stripping a few bits off the car. I like my engine bay but i dont love it and I cant quite put my finger on what it is that i dont like. Certainly some of the red accents (which weren't intentional) i will be changing, so I've bought some black silicone end caps to cover the top mounts, the oil filler cap will be either painted black or polished, the red battery wires will be wrapped in black tape and my whifbitz anti roll bar will also be painted black.. so that should get rid of all the red! I've also got rid of the gold heat reflective tape off the strut tower and im in the process of removing the lower boost pipe that comes off the bottom of the turbo because thats also going to go black. I have removed the intake pipe and strut brace and will also remove the intake manifold boost pipe and will be send them off to have re made in titanium. Some of the purple accents im going to replace with polished parts instead, like the pulleys and radiator brackets. Hopefully this will tone the colours down a little bit and tie everything in better.

Thanks mate. I do love titanium parts

I love a kitted Supra, but also love oem+ maybe i need 2 Supras?

Couldn't wait till the weekend to do the bonnet prop.. Got it polished up and then burnt the bends to get that nice gold/purple/blue colour. I must say, im pretty bloody happy with it. For such an insignificant component i think it now looks mega. Photos dont really do it much justice tbh.

Its been a minute so just figured I'd give this thread a bump. No progress as such, got a few plans in mind though. Still need to drop the gearbox and send it to Paul Cheshire.. just time and lots of money though especially as i want the billet centre casing. Billet rear diff casing is definitely a must so that will likely happen soon. Titanium bonnet prop recently purchased from Pete im looking forward to getting this polished and re burnt over the weekend. Head light intake, you know where people drill a huge hole through the head light.. i fancy giving that a go, but not on my brand new headlights lol.. need to find a good used one. Possibly a set of Blitz side skirts, carbon TRD bonnet and go back to the TRD wing, although im not 100% sure on that yet. Also.. underglow.. maybe.. dont shoot me. I've done the clean oem look for a couple of years now, i now have the itch for a bit of rice

What power are you hoping for with 6870? I guess the stock engine will be the limiting factor. I still find it crazy that these engines will cope with 700bhp stock even after 30 years

Yeah I'd need it posting please. Pm me your bank details and I'll pm my address

Ok, well I'd definitely buy that from you!

I have a pair in reasonably good condition. They aren't mint. The leather has wrinkled a little bit across the tops of them

Hi Peter, do you still have titanium bonnet prop stay?

I'd love to see the actual hero 1 car

Mines at 1.6 bar too Probably just me being a pussy, but it took me a few days to actually dare pin the throttle until red line lol

Love a fast and furious build! Looking forward to seeing more of this

A rubber wheel on a drill will easily remove tiger seal from paintwork. You need to cut the majority off with a razor blade and then use the rubber wheel to remove the remainder. Only use the rubber wheel against metal though. Dont use it on the bumpers or else you'll melt the plastic. The dent in that lower quarter isn't too bad. However it does look like its been rusting from the inside out (pretty common nowadays) this is a bigger problem. Great work though!
