hodge Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 Back in the garage tonight for some more supra therapy. I'm almost at the stage of being at a standstill waiting for stuff now. Tonight I'm going to sort the 1st BOV flange out ready for welding and also want to look into making a panel to fit around the batteries instead of having them undercover.

hodge Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 Your not wrong there mate. On the other hand though it's really frustrating as well seinfbit so close and knowing it's going to be a couple of months before I can even think about turning the key.

RoyBoy7 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 This is by far the best aerotop in Supra land . I really liked Wayne's car but I think you have taken things to a new level . Your attention to detail is incredable from start to finish . Most people start strong and rush things as they see the end in sight . You are relentless in your perfection . To Job, can't wait to see this on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 More work done today. But before I start can I just say its Bloody freezing in Consett at the minuite. Check out the condensation on my engine lol but we must soldier on. Bumper and inner bumper back off to make the holes in the intercooler pipework for the flanges to be welded on The flange that came with the turbosmart BOV, the radius on it was made for a 3" IC pipe so this had to increased a little so it sat on the pipe nicely. Then I marked where I wanted it to sit and off I went. Throttle Body side Turbo side Through the front mesh before I took the inner bumper off. Inner bumper removed. both pipes off, marked and ready for cutting. first hole done. Perfect fit Next i wanted to address the boot again as I wasnt happy with the idea of mounting the amps on the boot floor. So the perfectly good aerotop boot carpet I hacked up to fit the rear of the boot came out and went in the bin. I then retrimmed the side panels that the carpet covered. Tomorrow ill be making a triangular frame that will go from the back of the strut brace to the rear seat install. I will then make an amp panel which will cover the batteries so the amps are tucked away at the back of the boot, still leaving the boot accessable. Heres a few random shots i took of the car.

hodge Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 Made a false panel to hold the amps today. Bit of a wasted day really as I drove around for ages to find so Box cloth as the guy that usually gets me it was out of stock so I ended up in halfrauds and paid through my nose for it. But I had to get it today so had no choice really. The sides are not attached yet as im not sure what im going to do with them but you get the basic idea. Im an amp short too. Cos ive got a small amount of OCD with this sort of stuff i need to find an amp that matches this 1 so there semetrical. Boot blind in. Roof fits fine. Ill be extending the blind to reach the back of the rear seat enclosure so it covers the entire boot. Tomorrow ill be starting on the bodywork, which im not looking forward to to be honest. Ive spoke to Rob (mitchel9006) about the best way to go about thisand hes been a great help indeed. This is what I have to tackle. The dirty bits on top of the kit is just adhesive from the duck tape I used to hold the kit on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 Ok guys so ive done a bit of searching and ive just found these. its as Rob has explained to me. I have to fibreglass over the edges and onto the bodywork then flattern it back and then use filler to smooth it out and hey presto. How hard can it be lol.

Rob_Mitchell Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 (edited) exactly mate, you need to feather away the kit (arch) as much as possible and then fibreglass. Then rub down and start with the filler. always here if needed. oh i would take them rear lights out too. im sure you would have. where the front wing is flushed in in the pic, i would use the stopper i told you about and wipe it in with your finger smooth. im doing adams rear spats like that soon ill take pics on how to do it.
