Kaan W Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 The last piece to the puzzle, the wiring.... Lee has stripped out all unnecessary wiring from the engine bay loom which will then be routed so it's completely hidden. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=201700&d=1432540412 The fuse box will then be extended to sit in the boot in the recess behind the rear set along with the washer bottle. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=201701&d=1432540443 Also before hand a Clifford 650 was installed but rather much just slapped in, as you can see - http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=201702&d=1432540500 http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=201703&d=1432540524 So this will be removed completely and have something a bit more up to date installed. That's it for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nicholas Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Looks lovely Kaan, how come you didn't paint the inside of the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 I saw this on Saturday @ SRD...It looks amazing dude Thanks Looks lovely Kaan, how come you didn't paint the inside of the car? Thanks Nicholas, it's not something I ever considered to be honest as it wouldn't add anything to the value of the car plus it's not seen unless the interior is stripped out so it would have just delayed things for no reason.

Kendo11 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I have one already mate Made some brackets up after work today for the trial rear as I didnt like the way it was sagging down on the left. Also changed the spoiler to see what looks better. Opinions? I might just stick with the TRD as I dont like the shape of the stock one from certain angles. EDIT: Please excuse the crudety of the brackets as I dont have the proper bending or cutting equipment so it was just a quick lash up. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=165728&stc=1&d=1363112038 http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=165729&stc=1&d=1363112038 http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=165730&stc=1&d=1363112038 Before the brackets - http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=165731&stc=1&d=1363112038 With brackets (and stock spoiler)- http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=165732&stc=1&d=1363112038 Another thing, I will be getting another Do-luck bumper as mine is a bit old and I want something fresh but I cant seem to find one with the undertray? Is this important to have as the one I have now has it and was fixed to the rad support panel from it also. Kaan, I'm going back a bit here I know but did you just make up brackets for either side of the exhaust - not anywhere else? Are there already holes or somewhere to bolt them into or did you have to do some drilling? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there already holes or somewhere to bolt them into or did you have to do some drilling? Cheers They were just fitted either side of the exhaust mate as the rest is pretty secure, I had to drill holes for the passenger side bracket but the other side of the exhaust the bracket bolts to the fuel tank guard iirc.

Kaan W Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 The new ANSU 1500 injectors have been fitted - http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=201783&d=1432669214 http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=201784&d=1432669287 The top radiator pipe came back from the polishers so that's been fitted and the coolant system has been filled up and tested which is all fine - http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=201785&d=1432669310 The skuttle panel is now back on freshly painted and new wipers - http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=201786&d=1432669344 The engine bay look is all in and connected up completely hidden from the bay, that just leaves the fuse box to be connected up which is now in the boot along with the window washer bottle.

Kaan W Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 The fuse box is now in the boot with the battery and washer bottle, all is wired up so it just leaves the syvecs to be wired up then it's the moment of truth Will get some more pics up later of this. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=201906&d=1433072531 Some 0 gauge for the alternator to battery done with some monster crimpers http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=201905&d=1433072471 The gearbox sump has been refurbished also as it didn't look too great - http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=201907&d=1433072563 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
