hodge Posted October 22, 2010 Author Share Posted October 22, 2010 Awesome work mate, has the previous owner seen what you've done to his lowly NA aero? I've got his email address and promised him I'd send some pictures when I bought it but havnt yet. It's funny you should ask this cos I was just thinking about it today. Think I might sit down and send him some CHOICE pictures of it so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted October 23, 2010 Author Share Posted October 23, 2010 (edited) The first stage of the breather kit is now finished. I made up the lines and also made this little piece of kit with some mirror stainless, 2 -12AN bulkhead fittings and nuts. I made a noce oval hole in the inner wing just big enough to get the nuts through. made the plate to suit and fixed them all together. it was a bit of a chew on getting the plate/fittings lined up with the hole in the inner wing but i nailed it eventually. Then the braided lines were fitted. The next part is to locate the catch tank at the front of the inner wing, run 2 braided lines from the bulkhead fittings to the catch tank and fit the vent hose under the car.

hodge Posted October 23, 2010 Author Share Posted October 23, 2010 How about fitting a TT lump to mine? I'm in the process of trying to sort out a unit, as there's no way I would even consider removing someones engine from a car with such a small garage. I know I did it with my car but it was mine. If you know what I mean mate. After I get s unit then I'll apply as a trader and do things right by the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted October 23, 2010 Author Share Posted October 23, 2010 what do I have to do does Caroline have to do to get you to fit a TT lump in my car You see steve if Caroline was my good lady I'd treat her with respect. And wouldn't offer her out just to get an engine fitted to my car. Shame on you, doing this to such a wonderful example of womaness. I hope she reads this and decides to move in with me. Cos I'll love her and cherish her, and kiss here and cuddle her and keep her for my own and tell her she was wonderful every day.

hodge Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 Caroline you little tinker lol. Small update. Clutch and brakes are now sorted so I've got 3 fully working pedals, and about time too. Going to start on the BOV flange tomorrow and get it all cut and lined up with the pipework ready for welding and hopefully the other BOV will arrive this week too. Also waiting for the heater matrix hoses. Once they arrive I can fill the engine with coolant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 Got started on the boot today. Due to the fact the boot floor in a Supra is utter pap I wanted to make an MDF floor and incorperate the washer bottle id already fitted. I removed all the boot parts and undersealed it again just to help with a little more sound deadening. I also removed the washer tank I previously fitted as the roof wouldnt go in very well and decided to locate it elsewhere. Firstly the undersealed boot. I then used the carpet as a template to get a basic idea of the floor space. Then I measured, marked and removed the side parts. Test fit was pretty much perfect. Roof fits in fine. I then marked and cut out a hole for the washed bottle cap. I then carpeted the panel. After this I flipped it upside down and bonded the washed bottle to the bottom of ther panel using good old sikaflex, and stuck a weight on top to help it bond nice and tight. Whilst is was bonding I thought id take the opotunity to tidy up the battery wiring. Sikaflex almost dry I test fitted it into the car. Looks good. Refitted the strut brace and I chopped up the perfectly good boot carpet to make a cover for the side panels and the batteries. Since then ive had a change of heart and need to make a mounting panel for the amps. I was going to just mount them on the boot floor but Ideally I want to try and make it a little bit more like it should be there instead of its just been stuck there. ive no idea how or where im going to mount them but ill figure something out.
