Cheers Mark, yours is getting there also mate :)

 

that has come up very nice. What did you clean the fluid reservoir with?

 

Thanks, I used brake cleaner inside and out getting a nice bit inside then shaking it about every few minutes then fill with hot soapy water and leave over night. Then rinse :)

Not alot to update but I bought some Aero catches last year that I kept meaning to fit but kept putting it off as it looked a right PITA to do, and indeed it was!!

 

Now they may not be to everyones taste but on a few occasions ive seen my bonnet lift and one time was parked up on a windy day, saftey first!!

 

They're made for fibreglass or carbon fibre bonnets which would have been alot easier than the stock bonnet, 3 layers of metal I had to cut through using little cutting and sanding wheels in the dremmel and 8 hours later the holes were cut :D

Next was the locking pins, I planned this out before I had the car sprayed as you can see i've had to weld a new strip at the front for the pins to bolt to, this also bridges the gap between the radiator and the support and looks a little bit tidier.

A quick check to see how they clear the radiator and they fit perfectly, this could have been a disaster if I got the measurements wrong :blink:

And now fully fitted, another job done and out the way :)

Holy s**** mate. Your Supra looks the nuts : WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Good idea to go for the hood vent .. I find it very special on the Supra.

 

The more I see your colour, the more I want it :D :p :D

 

Cheers mate :D

 

Your more than welcome to pop round for a look when your cars done, in exchange for a ride in yours :p

You will never get to that speed with what I see under the bonnet :p

I will be at Lee's on 14th of April. On 15th in the morning, we drive to Abbey Motorsports hub dyno (Oxted - south London). After the dyno, I will head to Folkestone to take the Eurotunnel back to the continent.

 

Are you in Kent near Maidstone??

Ahh right I'm in Margate right on the corner of England out the way of everyone lol, Maidstones about hour away I think, if it was Dover port that's not too far from me.

I've only just looked at the pictures on the other page, sorry mate :p

 

But it looks awesome bud, :D think I shall be sticking aero catches on my bonnet eventually too, another job :(

 

Cheers mate :)

 

They are good piece of mind. I've seen enough bonnet latches fail writing cars off.

 

Knowing my luck this will happen!
