looks nice dude, I do find it strange though that all the shineauto diffusers seem to sit differently on different supras.

 

Maybe it's all down to how they are installed. I got Darren to set mine so there were no gaps at the side. I guess you could have it lower at the sides.

 

I think you might also be able to play around a little with how far back it sits.

Finally got the cage finished today. Big thanks to MLife for his assistance. Would have been much easier if the new stainless bolts hadn't been crap! Thanks eBay!

 

Anyway a few piccies below from near the end.

It's not branded but is Cusco style.

Thanks Paul. Went for a spin with Martin after we fitted the cage and have the brakes a bit of abuse. They were actually pretty good with those Porterfield pads.

 

Might just do a track day or two whilst I save for an upgrade!

 

Clutch only played up once right at the beginning too. Maybe getting the fluid above the minimum has sorted it?

Thanks Guys.

 

Definately a hydraulic issue with the clutch though now.

 

Put the padding on the cage and went for another blast. At low speed (manoeuvring) the pedal has a tendency to go to the floor and stay there. Also it feels a bit spongy.

 

All fine in normal driving.

 

Edit

 

Replaced both master and slave cylinders to solve this problem. Added whifbitz braided clutch pipe at the same time. All good now

They wont fade with the Porterfield race pads, I used to use Jap spec brakes with these pads on the track, no problem. Apart from not having a the confidence you get with the big brakes that is. Definately worth a go though.

Right, finished a few more bits and bobs. Cut the rear trim panels to fit around the cage, fitted carbon rear and carbon effect front braces and also fitted a brake stopper.

 

Panels need a bit of finishing but will do for now.

Also finished all the roll cage padding.

With all the clutch hydraulics swapped earlier in the week it's time now to enjoy it for a bit before doing any more. Except getting the rear arches rolled.
