Luxluc Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 It looks as if it's fine now guys. The only thing I had yesterday is that one of the injector o-rings gave up ... the standard one's don't seem to work with ethanol. After less than 3000 mls, the o-ring on the intake on cylinder 3 broke into several pieces, Syvecs went into limp mode and I will have to give the engine bay a good clean .. ethanol all over the bay. A big thanks to Lee ... he did send a new (ethanol capable) installation kit that ASNU brings with the injectors for customers that use ethanol. The rings will be here with me tomorrow, and I will replace all the rings together. Then on Friday, the Supra will go back to the bodyshop to get the paintwork finished,and then it'll be perfect. A big thanks again to Lee for his super quick help I booked a trackday for next week Saturday. Time to test those 888's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun on the trackday Awesome car... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 A little correction from my side. I misunderstood an info from Lee. It was not the ethanol that killed my o-ring, but it was the spacer o-ring that failed at the bottom. It was an insulator spacer to get a tighter fit of the ASNU injectors. Lee has sent me a new kit from ASNU. I will post pics of the install. I removed all the lines this evening to get better access so I can mount everything tomorrow. Delivery of the ASNU installation kit is expected at my regiment in the afternoon. Super speed from Mr. SRD - - - Updated - - - I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun on the trackday Awesome car... Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 I changed all the o-rings on my injectors with the new ones from ASNU. A 1 hour job ... quite glad I got it done without major issues. The Supra is running again. Tomorrow a last trip to the bodyshop to get the paintwork finished, then everything will be as I want it to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxluc Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 I got some info from PT regarding the CEA Gen2 6870 turbo. The turbo should go on sale before november ... tests are all done as it seems. It should spools like a 67mm with 71+mm power. They praise them very high those Gen2 beasts on the other side of the pond. I need one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxluc Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 Any idea on price? Not so far mate. - - - Updated - - - I will get the Supra back from the bodyshop tomorrow.

Andrew K Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Looking good bud did they paint the hole rear quarter or just the local area around the arch where it cracked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 I have been to the garage yesterday. They had painted the complete rear panel, but I could see a slight difference in shade vs the doors. They've redone the arches together with the doors today. I will get the Supra back tomorrow evening .... FINALLY. - - - Updated - - - Looks stunning as always!

Luxluc Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 Trackday was awesome today.

Luxluc Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 There was a Aston Martin DB9R (Race version on slicks) there too : sounded awesome A friend ran a brand new Porsche 991 GT3 In our team, we had a supercharged GT86 (315 bhp) which was a lot of fun A friend of mine in his 600bhp GTR MY13 ... Although I did 40 kph more top speed on the straight along the pits, I had problems following through the bends. Atfer a passenger ride, I knew why : he floored it in almost all the bends and the systems kept it on track : very impressive. I have to say that he was on 888's too.

Phlukey Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Awesome Luc, very jealous! Love how good your Supra still looks next to all the really expensive modern machinery that was there...... A real menacing presence about it Even next to the GTRs it looks big. I bet it was one of the best sounding cars there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
