tony tt Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I can't get a hold of Ryan, so it might be Tuesday You taking it down or arranging him to meet you somewhere for Dyno time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 You taking it down or arranging him to meet you somewhere for Dyno time? Just getting a remote map for now to make the fuelling OK for the trip down. Will just arrange it with Ryan for when a time suits to travel down with an overnight etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I'd do the full map remotely, thats what I normally do and I live near him. My latest map was done that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony tt Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 True. He worked wonders for mine remotely may save you some money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 Might be worth a shot then. I'll see what he says. The reason for the initial map is just to make sure it's all running right before I fully put it back together. Once I'm given the go ahead I'll get it onto its wheels again and see what my options are for mapping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to remember if all the time I've been on this forum, if you've ever had your car in use He's a long standing tradition on this forum to own Supras that just sit around and gather dust. Ask Rob Sheffield, Homer, Lee P, Paul Whiffin and MarcP I would also include SupraAyf, but by the look of his old red TT auto, he keeps them in a hermetically sealed chamber.

I did that with mine as well. Sadly though due to its appearance, somehow a psychotic baboon must of got stuck in there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 Got a clean bill of health from Ryan and he's got me a basic road map to get me off and moving. Now just need to start working through my todo list: Wire sensors and configure Syvecs Done and checked by Ryan. Small issue with oil temp sensor but otherwise OK. Disassemble FPR, re-build using loctite. Done. Seems to be holding well. Will give it a thorough check before going on the road. Trace Tacho Error - Trying to buy/borrow a set of facelift clocks to trace the error. Seems to be tacho side as Ryan checked the settings and it's OK. Get exhaust cut and new flange welded on - This shouldn't be too much hassle. Hopefully get it sorted soon. Figure out open wire for the alarm (No idea what it's for) - I'm thinking of just blanking this off for now. I've no idea what it's for and the alarm seems to be working. Fit bumper, lights, strut brace, etc, etc ,etc. - I can do this in less than a shift so this will be at the end of the process Bleed Brakes - As above Get wider tyres put on the wheels - This can be done anytime. 265s are fine for now. Get alignment done - I changed the whole front with new camber adjustment bolts etc. Need to get this done if I want my tyres to last, regardless of power. Fit Clutch - This will be the really fun part. Leaving this to the death as I want everything else clear before I do this. I'll have the car on the road before tackling this. Get car mapped - I'm fairly confident Ryan will be able to do his thing remotely. This would be a massive bonus. Enjoy - It's been a while. Not sure if I know how to do this!

Scott Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Started to tidy the engine bay up again. I also fitted the line lock kit that I had lying around. I believe I'm finished in the drivers side arch so I'm going to start putting the liner in next. I'll need to have a look at the passenger side though as I still have a wire from the alarm system that I have no idea where it's meant to go. I've ordered yet ANOTHER red top battery. These things absolutely hate being deep cycled, especially in the winter. I also split the HKS exhaust so that I can see about getting the flange welded on. This is really a fantastic exhaust, springs holding on the back box and it's all a wonderful fit. I think I'll be using this over the boost logic to be honest. I have the bung etc for the HKS so it might mean I'll be able to use it in the early mornings if I'm careful. Offering it up to the full size flange.

Glanza_Mike Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Nice looking engine bay mate! The black and red theme goes really well imo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 Nice looking engine bay mate! The black and red theme goes really well imo! Cheers. Still a bit of fine tuning to do (getting rid of the big red brake line at the back) but I'll keep fettling till I'm happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 Rather than waiting a year to get welding done, like I did last time, I decided to get the finger out and get it done right away. So with that done there was no time like the present to get the exhaust on. It wasn't quite straight forward, few seized bolts, couple snapped, etc. I'll say this though, what a fantastic exhaust the HKS Ti is. It just absolutely oozes quality and the fitment and fitment kit is absolutely spot on. If it wasn't for the crap bolts I would have had it on in absolutely no time. Anyway, job is now done. I also hooked up the screamer return pipe into the second decat. I want to leave it as quiet as possible for now. Will have a play with it later though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
