Does you're Bra come off under heavy acceleration Alex? You should put one of those on the drivers side haha.

 

Nah mate I left it in ed's boot and heSTILL can't find the boost release :(

 

:rlol: Alex, love the stickers.

I think my fiancée would rip my balls off I put stickers like that in my car.

 

Awsome roll bar. Thats something I would fancy in the future.

How easy is it getting into the car as we're both similarly sized.. (although Alex has slightly bigger genitals)

 

It was ok ed, I'm not in a hurry to donut again though lol. Its actually not to bad delending how far back your seat is in comparison to the front bars! Though you would appreciate those stickers lol.

 

Next mod is to get girls to sit in your car!

 

That was last weekend, it's funny how much random birds you can pick up without paying for their company :p

A little update on the car since the cage was fitted. The stock seats that were in the car had to be "modified" to fit back into position, all i done was remove the motor mechanism that is used to recline the seat back and forth. This "modification" was never going to be long term but until i was able to source some OEM recaro seats.

 

The day before i was due to come back offshore i took the car out for the day to enjoy it since it was another beautiful day, Sadly the drivers seat decided that it wasn't happy with being modified so when i sat in the car and leaned back the seat decided it was going to recline all the way back and stay like that... That made the 20 mile drive home very interesting and some very un-comfy driving. Once i got back to mine, me and my mate took the seat out and started to take it apart to see what the problem was and it looks like i've knackered part of the locking mechanism for the recliner section.

 

After much thinking and etc i have settled for a new set of seats other than the OEM recaro's, i have bought OEM Honda Accord Type R seats insted from a 1999 car. They should be ready and waiting for me by the time i get home, Heres a quick pic of the seats i have just bought..

Will update this thread once home and the seats are fitted. I will be repairing the broken drivers side seat and then selling the full front leather set..

They look good Alex! I considered the ATR Recaros for the white car as they were a bit green. :) Decided against them as they don't move to let a passenger (my guitar gear really :lol: ) into the back. Having the cage, you won't have this problem though :)

I have half a back seat anyway dude, only thing my rear seats are used for is for storage of the camera and a jumper or my bag if I'm away for a few days haha

Love them Alex. I was going to get a set of those for mine, being green I thought they would look the biz but when a good set of OEM Recaros came up I went for them but I still think those will look great in a Supra. Good buy mate. :cool:

 

I know how rare the supra OEM recaros so i seen these and thought they look just as good and would go well with the rest of the car. They should hopefully be arriving at the end of the week

Still waiting for my seat runners, but gave the seats a test fit with the cage in place to see how they will look...

Just hope they turn up in time still for JAE!

 

On a better not I've just bought a low mileage V161 6speed conversion and now just waiting to hear back about a syvecs and a couple of other parts!

 

I'm wanting to build the car into a strong BPU+ car, the hybrids and syvecs should be good together!

After getting used to the current set up I am running with the hybrids and 3800 hi stall auto box, the car has started to feel slow again so I started to look around and see what I can do to squeeze some more power out of the current set up. After some long thinking and lots of searching Ive decided to go 6 speed and get a nice street setup in the car, so then it was time to speak to lee_p and see what he suggests on how to achieve this and his answer was not what I expected at all!

 

Lee's response was that he wants to try something new and something that has never been tried before to his knowledge.. He is wanting to use my current hybrid set up, upgrade some parts to get more power....... And then add some ethanol to the mix :D as for the power level, we have no idea what to expect outta this new/unknown set up!

 

Now I'm just waiting for the parts to arrive at SRD and then its time to get the car down for lee to work his magic and give the car the SRD treatment! The parts I have are listed below..

 

 

V161 6 speed conversion

SRD Intake Manifold Kit

Q45 90mm Throttle Body

Battery Relocated to boot

Syvecs Ecu

Supra Adapter Harness

Bosch Knock Sensor

NTK Lambda Sensor

Oil Pressure Sensor

Oil Temp Sensor

Boost Control Solenoid

Fuel Flex Sensor

Toucan Display

Bosch 044 Fuel Pump and fittings

Asnu 1000cc Injectors

Top Feed Fuel Rail Kit

Aeromotive FPR and lines
