Ryan.G Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 Any updates Mr G Only Little bits but a few pics below Extra vents at the back of the bonnet Wastegate plumbed back into the exhaust Steering column nearly done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milton79 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 good job ryan, whats that flexi ringed pipe off the wastegate chap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luka-P Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Looks like it goes back into the exhaust bud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 It allows differential expansion to help stop cracking. Long pipes expand more than short ones, so something gives, a flexi section helps prevent this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan.G Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 (edited) Update: Steering column is now finished as well as the handbrake placement. As all the workings of the car is now done it was time to take everything off again to finishing all the welding and fabrication in the places we couldn't get to with the engine etc in. Firstly removed the engine which was a pure bliss as all i had to do is lower the car down and hook up the engine to the engine cradle as there is that much room behind now. Then out came the subframes. Short base Supra anyone... Then made up the removable panel for accessing the plugs Looking LOW Edited April 3, 2009 by Ryan.G (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan.G Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 Right as a few people have kindly offered to help with the car we have decided to take them up and offer a rub down and scotch day Basically the aim is to get the car ready for spraying either on the Bank holiday monday or Tuesday the 14th. Sooo the plan is on the Saturday (11/04/09) we welcome anyone who fancies getting involved in the project to come down and help prep the car for spraying. Food and Drinks for the day will be supplied! Plus im sure i can get a few nice cars down for passenger rides as well as a good old chin wag 1. Steve 2. Ryan 3. Wes 4.

Angarak Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 What are your plans for the glass Ryan? A chap I know owns Plastics4Performance, I think he may be able to help you out with some Lexan replacements, though I havent seen him in a while. I could find out if you like?

I think Ryan has that covered already, Lexan rear glass and door windows have been mentioned earlier:) There was GB Ryan organised on these not so many weeks ago.

Angarak Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 (edited) Oops sorry, only just checked this thread out. *gets coat and scarpers* Edit: Don't know how I missed post 18 Edited April 3, 2009 by Angarak (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angarak Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Im wondering if the GB did actually use P4P as Ryan quotes an email from a "Paul" in the GB thread regarding the order - and that coincidentally is the name of the chap I know Plus, he used my Supra to make a template of the rear quarters. Anyway, dont want to go off-topic any further, car looks fantastic Ryan, keep it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
