I got a few more bits done today on the car in between my day to day stuff I do, and nobody say golf! Fitted one of our Whifbitz carbon fuse box lids, this is an actual lid that replaces the standard one. Most of the other carbon fuse box lids on the market are covers that fit over the standard plastic lid. http://www.garagewhifbitz.co.uk/index.php/garage-whifbitz-1226.html Installed one of our Whifbitz carbon fibre upper engine covers, http://www.garagewhifbitz.co.uk/index.php/garage-whifbitz-797.html And a Whifbitz carbon upper front engine cover, http://www.garagewhifbitz.co.uk/index.php/garage-whifbitz-1247.html Whifbitz aluminium top hose with black silicons http://www.garagewhifbitz.co.uk/index.php/garage-whifbitz-1038.html, the engine bay is starting to take shape!

Also fitted one our Whifbitz silicon lower radiator hoses in black: - - - Updated - - - That will NEVER happen! The breaking part not the love!

Greddy blue engine pulleys: And a set of my own engine pulleys in black fitted in there place:

Ok, here are all of the Goodridge fittings removed from the engine bay, as you can see there are quite a few, and these are just the ones you can see!

I'm giving the engine bay a quick make over this week, changing all the Goodridge fittings from blue/red to black. The same with all the silicon hoses, changing from blue to black. This is the before photos and I'll update with the updated look later in the week if I get time.

Hmmm, think I'll have to tackle the yellowing carbon parts at a later date!

The wing has gone a bit milky in places and one of the side skirt has a green tinge to it. I'm hoping that may be the laquer?

Does anyone know a product that can revitalise carbon fibre?

The windmill that's hanging off the engine is way to big for the track unfortunately. I'm thinking of detuning it to around 900bhp so I can take it on the track again though!

Of course mate, needs a bit of a clean up but you'll get the idea!

Whifbitz 1300+bhp "Death Star" Supra out of the garage for the first time in more than a year, getting it ready for the 20th Anniversary Supra next weekend! I haven't even looked at the car since last July, fell in love with it again the moment I fired it up, cant wait to give it some beans. Going to be adding some of my carbon fibre range on it next week and that's about it. The car really needs to visit the bodyshop for a tidy up here and there, its seen some hard action from its Time Attack days but still looks the part I think.

Very nice indeed, very clean and tidy and a nice exhaust system too!

Was it new?

We've been busy fitting plenty of these clutches over the last year and they proving to be very very good. The stage 1 is a great upgrade for anyone running BPU up to a small single, pedal feel is like stock and take up is very nice indeed. Same with the stage 2 and 3, very nice pedal weighting and not snatchy like other clutches we've tried over the years. We've yet to try a Supertwin twin plate out on a Supra though, we are fitting one to a Skyline early next week so we'll see whats its like. Feedback I'm getting back from customer is great though and no issues so far.

I would double check your wiring then, these do not make the car run lean unless you are running silly amounts of boost that is.

Is yours a VVTi or pre-VVTi?

You cant beat Goodridge for quality and fitment, http://www.garagewhifbitz.co.uk/index.php/toyota/supra/brake-parts.html Both types in stock as well the Porterfield fast road or track pads.

Sounds like you have the dredded Carbonetics warped plates I'm afraid. Last time we repaired a clutch with this issue it was about £1000 to repair approx. You'll need a rebuild kit from Carbonetics....

Bet that wasn't easy on the floor, not a nice job I bet.

I can get these if you haven't already ordered mate?

I can supply Goodridge if needed.

Company disappeared mate, I just supply standard Toyota discs these days.
