ripped_fear Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 Got some more odds and ends done today. Some more chrome bits fitted Had to relocate the horn to fit the slam pannel as the whole cut out for it was not big enough. The power steering cover unfortunately touches the pulley so need to mod it a bit before fitting, not sure if im going to bother, may just sell it as it would be fine on a TT. pics of the problem can been seen below. Next changed a few more bolts for some nice shiny ones, the front of the engine bay it almost done now. Sorted out another bracket too nice and simple, took it off, quick paint and refitted with a new bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 Also got some pics of the dash pannels in the middle of being done, the one that surrounds the mirror controls is next to be done all the others are ready for paint. also bought this a while ago but needs work to fit. have cut the whole for the terminals need to cut one more bit so the clamp will clear it.

alex2jz Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 (edited) Looking good Jake. Good thing you've got rid of that cheap looking carbon dash, never really liked those. I think there's going to be a huge improvement when the new panels are fitted.

Hammer Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Still in two minds about the wheels, keep changing which ones I like, narrowed it down to two styles though. Have just got some nice goodies delivered though so need to start some serious saving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dim Sum Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Nice job you done under the engine bay, really great work. I was wondering the bolts you replaced the standard one with, any chance you can tell me where you got it or is it just any hardware store?

Awesome best get cracking on it soon just to warn you as i remember you mentioning getting some rota D1 they do not do suitable fitment for a supra, i know this as i considered getting some a few months ago and when talking to garage wifbitz about ordering they gave me the spec's Nice job you done under the engine bay, really great work. I was wondering the bolts you replaced the standard one with, any chance you can tell me where you got it or is it just any hardware store? I get them through a family member who works at a garage but im sure you could get them from any hardware store to be honest. I only get them from the garage as its convenient Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 Today I tried to inject some colour into the engine bay without making it tacky but if I'm honest I'm not 100% sure on the outcome. I have decided to add red to the bay as im going to play of the Rad cap i have and the TRD oil cap on its way. So here is the process, the pics are not great as I was loosing light when doing it, but if you cant tell from the pictures the colour is a metallic red. While doing the job I had a nice knock on the door from the posty and my strut brace arrived!! didn't get time to fit it but gave it a clean and balanced it on the car to get the idea going to take it apart and have the ends repainted as there is a tiny bit of corrosion. But for now its in the pile of bits I need to fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
