steve.m Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 Another question Steve, What did you use to refurb your brakes calipers front and rear? Because me and dad need to paint ours PM me if you'd prefer! Another Halfords special; http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10001&langId=-1&productId=175542&catalogId=10151 Probably not the best stuff but was a bit stuck for time and have used this before, It dries fairly quickly so don't hang around painting them. Ta, mate. I was thinking about finishing it with something like this (no joke): http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LATEX-RUBBER-PVC-VINYL-PLASTIC-SHINER-CLEANER-POLISH-500ml-TRADE-PRICE/131109750514?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222006%26algo%3DSIC.FITP%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140107083358%26meid%3D5115796505112397372%26pid%3D100011%26prg%3D20140107083358%26rk%3D0%26rkt%3D10%26sd%3D181265563379 That could work... If it does a good job can you buy me some, If my wife finds me buying that on Ebay she's gonna get all sorts of ideas! I found general bumper black stuff worked just fine.

MK2 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Absolutely a beautiful Suup Steve. I have a soft spot for those big twin supras. Can you post a dynograph? (can't find it anymore in this massive thread). How would you rate the driveabilitiy and lag with those twins? I've heard from several big twin owners that the dynographs look way more laggy than it feels. Especially compared to big singles. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard from several big twin owners that the dynographs look way more laggy than it feels. Especially compared to big singles. TIA Thank you, Dyno plot is on page 38. I personally love how the big twins perform, they have a more progressive power delivery opposed to single which definitely helps with traction in my opinion. In real terms their not that big so spool is pretty good to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping hold of the lip at the moment, not even sure the active spoiler will get done on this visit as there are other things I want doing which are more important so It depends on the outcome of those first.

Noz Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Quick pic of the new ASNU 1000cc injectors fitted. very impressed with them, they have absolutely transformed the drive of the car. FAO Rob Mitchell. I now have gold in my engine bay, Can I be in your gang? http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=165444&d=1362773947 How come they changed the drive of the car out of interest?

steve.m Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Can't be much left to do on this car mate! It's perfect already Cheers mate but you know as well as me that a modified car is never finished. How come they changed the drive of the car out of interest? I'm no expert but my understanding is that the ASNU injectors have a better spray pattern allowing for finer adjustments when mapping thus making a smoother drive at low revs when the injectors are at low duty.

steve.m Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 Thought I would post this in here as well as the wanted section. I'm after a large 100 amp TT auto alternator. Any condition, doesn't even need to be working but must be genuine Toyota. Has anyone got one knocking around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve.m Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 Thought I'd better update this as it's been a while. I've decided not to go down the active spoiler route as it's too much trouble with my current set up and there was other stuff which has taken priority. The car is almost ready to pick up from SRD and here is some of the stuff I've had done off the top of my head. Full service New clutch fluid New gearbox fluid New rear upper suspension arms New rear wheel bearings New steering gaiters New gearbox access cover New braided clutch line New alternator pulley New aux belt tension pulley All new Teflon fuel lines Fuel flex sensor Full geometry set up I'm sure there's more lol. They have also made another custom engine bay heat shield to cover the clutch master as I think I've been cooking the clutch fluid. They have extended the shield right across the back between the current engine bay boxes. Another custom modification to the front is a flip front number plate on the stock bumper. They have cut and welded the crash bar to accommodate the mechanism. Yet another custom modification to the front is these DRL/side lights. The indicators are being relocated into the headlight fog position. The front bumper has been smoothed and painted with the RMM lip also painted, all ready to get stone chipped on Dragonball! More pictures soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
