Looks pretty neat. Would look better with a flocked dash though :cool:

 

I'd like to do that yep, it weighs a ton as it is though! I do wonder what would happen to the dash if all of the foam and vinyl was removed. It looks like plastic underneath, just wondering if the dash would lose all of its shape if they were removed. I bet without that the dash would be superlight then.

I'll get a new pair tomorrow!

I've got trainers in worse condition. ;)

Yep, it looks better in the flesh to be honest and its not really meant to be a show and shine winner, more hardcore race car look and finish to go with the rest of it!

that's what I mean, I know it's function over form, but the form still looks pretty good to be fair.

 

What are you doing on 20th June? :innocent:

There's only one way to find out :D

Ok, the all in one catch tank & power steering tank is now in place. The rear part of it is the breather tank, all baffled and gated inside and the front part is the power steering tank, again gated & baffled inside. Catch tank has 3 -12 breathers going into it and breathes through the K&N filter on the side of it.

Why does the breather have 3 -12s, what are they connected too?

 

I was waiting for someone to ask that! 2 go to the cam covers and the 3rd to the upper oil pan, I added an extra breather on there last year to help things a little, I dont think anyones done that before on a Supra?

Interesting, do you have any pics?

Why does that matter, heat doesn't effect it?

 

Not the heat I'm concerned about. More about if something happens and the oil comes out then it can cause a fire. I might still be interested if I put a shield between the turbo and the brake cylinder as that'd keep it pretty separate.

I know what your saying, I can make the tank however you want it made though, doesn't have to be exactly the same.
