RobD Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Thanks mate, will have a look through a few build threads, have you got a link to where you bought your kit from please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 Mike, when you removed the a/c pump, how did you re-support the ps pump? I took the a/c pump apart & reused the front cover? PS the car looks stunning I hadn't really thought of that tbh. The ps pump is mounted on it 2 other places so figured it would be ok.

jevansio Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I hadn't really thought of that tbh. The ps pump is mounted on it 2 other places so figured it would be ok. I don't think I've heard of anyone not either reusing the pump or making a specific bracket. I personally would strip the pump & take the front cover off & refit that, it's the perfect bracket shape (well it is the OEM bracket) & weighs next to nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miko_supra Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 (edited) I went down to wheels in motion today, and what can I say! After a good hours spirited driving the car has definatly been transformed. Just take a look at the print out, it was a right mess before. The car feels nice and tight now and has filled me with allot more confidence in taking faster turns and putting the power down earlier on the exit.

miko_supra Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 Gone for a Bosch 044 pump which I'll be mounting to the stock hanger. Pretty big compared to the stock one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 Started on the job of changing the clutch over to my new southbend today. Just managed to drain the gear oil and get the gearbox down. It's a right pig of a job on axle stands and the car is too low to get the gearbox out from under the car.

EdMorris Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Yeah that will be a pig indeed if you have to try and fit the new clutch while scrabbling underneath the car. Is there no way you can raise the front and bring it out from there, or maybe from the rear if you remove one of the wheels and giggle it out the side?

miko_supra Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 The clutch job got finished over the weekend. The pedal needed adjusting a little but other than that its all fine! Today I installed the bosch fuel pump. Some lovely zip ties to hold it on the hanger and I bought a 90 degree banjo fitting for a neater install of the fuel line.

miko_supra Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 looks awesome mate, can i ask why you want bodywork done? looks spotless to me. thumbs up Cheers, It's got to be perfect . the rear bumper has a glue on it I cant get off where the number plate surrounds used to be. The spoiler has paint chips near where it meets the body and the front end is just showing its age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 Rear bumper and rear spoiler removed today ready for the body shop on Tuesday.

Not a bad job taking the bumper off is it, just all that trim in the boot you have to remove gets annoying. Oh and the screws on the bottom along the back of the fuel tank can be a nightmare. How were yours...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlT67 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 They were all fine tbh, didn't have any troubles. Ideal, I remember when I removed the rear bumper off my silver one for the trial rear to fit and I had to snap the lower bracket off due to the screws just spinning and not coming undone.
