RobD Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 No more spending on this I'm afraid now! After the insurance tax and mot, only thing I'll be paying for it is petrol I'll show it a few corners but hoping it sells rather quickly as I want my supra back now!

RobD Posted April 21, 2012 Author Share Posted April 21, 2012 More updates! Finally got the engine ready to go back in... Then started to fit it into the car... Most of its fitted now, gearbox is in and bolted up, new exhaust down pipe is on with decat, all the inlet plugs etc are on, fuel lines sorted , engine mounts are tight. What's left to do... Fit intercooler pipes, one needs a nipple welding on for waste gate, I'm running "pidgeon" so no BOV! Refit battery as its on charge Fill with oil Add coolant Fit inlet pipe and filter etc Undertrays New alloys After that, crank it, to circulate oil, put spark plugs in and coil packs/ loom and hopefully she'll fire over! Can't wait!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobD Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 Done some more today, all buttoned up... It wouldn't fire over, when trying to start it, check spark, fuel etc all seemed correct! So took the lid of, found the chain to be 1 tooth out on the exhaust cam! DOH First time she started... Checked over and got the wheels on etc and back to the deck... And back home...

RobD Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 Nice, always liked these, what will it sell for do you think? Once the engines ran in and a few bits of bodywork sorted it'll be up for £4300, there's some for sale with more mileage and are complete rot boxes that are up at around £4000, being a low mileage uk spec with a very solid chassis and bodywork it should go for 4k I reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
