Thanks Homer, yeah I am really happy with the way the wheels site and their offsets, just looking back at them pictures the car could really do with a clean....

Homer Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I'm being *really* picky now, but the front driver side bonnet is a few mm too high. There's an rubber adjuster on the front slam pannel you can wind down to bring it back down a little (just in case you didn't know already) Sorry, OCD again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Tasteful, very tasteful, unusually so. Not a fan of black, but shined up in the summer she'll look lovely. Personally I'd bin the rear "wing" and get black I/C hoses, for a more modern, less track day escapee look, but I am old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlT67 Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 Today I received my heat shielding today to protect the heat from the clutch and brake master cylinders. The sheeting is really easy to work with and only required trimming with some tin snips. I also relocated the boost controller solenoid so the area by the air filter looks a little more tidy, still need to replace the silicon hoses when I find a suitable replacement. Here are the results.... The space behind the sheeting is noticeably cooler now which is obviously much safer, hopefully my turbo blanket will arrive tomorrow morning so I can stick that on as well, that'll also hopefully help to keep the temps down.

Paul Whiffin Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Great stuff that heat shielding isn't, easy to use and works a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlT67 Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 Great stuff that heat shielding isn't, easy to use and works a treat. So easy to use, I saw the shapes etc others had put it into and I thought it was going to be more difficult but it wasn't which was ideal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JODY T Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 you got no reinforment brackets that fit on top of the struts.. the bolts are just bolted down onto the chassis.. dunno if you care lol, but i thought ide point it out lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fitted my MVP turbo blanket today and its smoking like mad...! Is this normal? I did notice a small oil like looking stain in it but this is more smoke than that patch. I bought it second hand off a member on here so it could have had oil split on it even though it was never fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 That looks absolutely stunning Carl The wheels and stance look pretty much perfect with the black paint. Have to say that looks wise that's one of the nicest looking supras on the forum IMO. Still don't like the defuser though, sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
