ripped_fear Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Started some more on the old girl yesterday. Started work on my engine bay boxes, trimming to allow the loom to fit. And I think im going to delete the the charcoal canister to allow a good fitment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 REceived a nice package the other day, I have the throttle body, plenum and y pipe back now, all been smoothed, painted in 199 and all vac pipes painted red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 So the bay is going to have massive changes over the coming weeks, also got a selection of other new bits being thrown at it. Want the bay to really stand apart from most other NA bays. So I have the rocker covers pictured above, The engine bay boxes are getting there, The pulleys Going to paint the injector rail candy red And here is the new intake, 199, all pipes painted in metallic dark red, and all bolts and brackets black. Most of the casting marks have been removed too, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KamaSupra Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 That should look awesome when done, she was a pretty tidy engine to begin with too. But this will look even better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 Thanks guys, need to keep the car constantly changing to keep up with the standards of some of the engine bays I have seen around. Looking forward to getting on with fitting it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamaSupra Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Will you be going NA-T soon? As a turbo would look good in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo11 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Looks good mate, keep it NA! I'm doing something similar with my engine bay although the parts are currently red, I was deliberating going 199 to match the car too but think I'm going to go for something a little wilder. Florescent or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Going to look great Jake, love Candy Red How did you smooth out the Intake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 She will be Na-t one day, ive kind off ruled out going TT now. Too many horror stories and I don't have the ££ to be rebuilding an unknown block. Most of this cars has been replaced apart from internals anyway so I know it to be a good car. But for the foreseeable future it will stay as is, as ive just moved to a house so all car funds have since gone. Priorities and that. @kendoskeg11 go for it will keep an eye on your thread. Thanks Rog I sanded the intake by hand to get it started then my dad finished it off with the electric sanders to removing the castings, some have been left but the majority removed.

ripped_fear Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) This thread is coming back to life properly now, I've had no internet for ages, and the car took a back seat while I moved in to our new place, but now we are settled, internet is up and running, and I have a stack of ever growing parts waiting to hit the car. I submitted the car for the NEC motorshow and looks like I'm lucky enough to be one of the 6 cars on the stand and I will be representing the NA's of the supra world, so I want the car looking her best, as she going to be going up against some insane compotation. The first thing to change is going to be the engine bay. Next will be getting the wheels looking good. Here is the parts I have and am looking for Parts to fit/Jobs - Fit Smoothed and painted throttle body - Fit Smoothed and painted Y-pipe - Fit Smoothed and Plenum - Fit OEM Candy Red painted Pulleys - Fit 199 painted rocker covers - Fit Rocker gaskets - Fit 199 Engine bay boxes - Fit Chrome Ht lead holders - Fit New 3rd brake light - Paint injector rail - Re-sticker and paint Brake Callipers - Fit new OEM hand Brake - Get arches rolled (currently trying to get a booking) - Refurb or possibly plasti dip ridox lip as a temp fix - Refurb Rad clamps - Refurb wheels! - Sort fitting issue with front lip - Fit 2nd Decat - Fix flickering LED issues Parts to buy - Rear brake caliper - 3 NA intake gaskets - Facelift Tail light - Set of Spark Plugs - Zun Sport mesh Additional If time - Mod boot hatch - Fit Trd spoiler - Source a new exhaust - Source a is250 steering wheel - Source a new set of Dials This is the list I'm intending to have done by the NEC show, so the Dead line is Nov. Wish me luck. Work beigns tomorrow and the pictures will start to flow soon. Edited July 21, 2014 by ripped_fear (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
