Stephen G Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 (edited) Sure they are ARP ? what material I'm using a OS giken triple plate and it needs 1jz bolts and you have to take about 8mm off the length or they will be hitting the rear crank seal, as for what material I don't know.

Stephen G Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 Test fitted the remade down pipe which i'm very pleased the way it turned out. The thick peace of metal under the rear turbo is a spacer as i wanted to rise the turbo 1" for a bit more clearance from the strut mount. The one in the picture is only a rough guide as i'm getting a proper one cut tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen G Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 Dropped the front suspension and cradle out of the car. was going to polybush the arms but when i checked them after i had everything took apart they are like new. When i bought the car it had almost full toyota service history so i'm thinking that the arms most have been replaced some time. Some of the suspension in bits. The missing bits are away getting bead blasted and painted and these parts will get done aswell. My brother doing it at his work and cant take everything at the one time:sly: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen G Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 done a rough mockup of the turbo pipes and this is the new breather setup that i made up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen G Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 Its been a long time since i have posted a update so this is how the supra is now Its still not finished as you can see but almost there. Only a few minor things left to do engine bay wise, turbo blankets, managment system, boost control etc. The front half of the car still needs painted wing bonnet and bumper which i might change to a jap and loose the headlight washers and get the centers of the new wheels painted a different colour.
