safcdixon Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Nice work, saving a supra from being broken up is a change from the current theme, i know the pain of removing the dash a total nightmare imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetrashcanman Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 This makes me so sad :( but glad the UK's living again, if I'd known they where going to auction the car I'd have bought it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Excellent revival! Nice one! Will you be keeping it visually like a UK spec (front and rear lights, rear bumper, bonnet, washer dildos)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slutters Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 Hi guys new updates! Heres where I was at last time, subframe stripped… Cleaned all the old paint and rust off with a wire wheel on an angle grinder.. Then put in etch primer And painted matt black to match OE Right, next up was replacing all the bent arms, I used the arms from the other subframe but removed all the Powerflex bushes from the old arms and refitted to the new arms… New Arms Cleaned and painted Removing the Powerflex bushes Cleaned up top arms Powerflex bushes fitted! Next up, nice new shiny Toyota parts! Lots of ££££ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slutters Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 Pressed in second rear diff mount Cleaned up the diff ready Be careful fitting Soild rear diff mounts guys! Espcially if you have a bit of a drifting crash…. As there are no rubber bushes all the energy is directed straight onto the diff cover… resulting in a cracked cover.. which you can no longer get from Toyota UK! Cleaned internal filter and fitted: And temp sensor and breather Bead of non-silicone based sealer Done! Rear diff fitted to subframe Removed diff cooler pipe work/pump Pump refitted All refitted with fresh pipes and clips Old subframe for the scrap! Now trying to get this in by yourself is fun… Alas got it on!! Next set of updates is rebuilding the front suspension.. Sorry its all a bit mundane at the moment, the fun bits start soon!

stevie_b Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 This is a really good write-up. One question relating to a job I might need to do soon, did you clean the *inside* of the heater matrix, and if so what did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moved over the UK spec anti roll bar, this is 3mm thicker than the NA one, you can just about make this out in the pics Getting there Uk Spec brakes on Right, now that’s most of the boring stuff out of the way, it starts to get more interesting from here on in… First of, just to give an idea of how cold it is in the unit I am working in… Anyway better things!

Fitted, all bolts indexed so I can make sure none of them get lose Hydraulic slave fitted and bellhosuing cleaned of all contaminates I brought a HKS copy fuel rail, only due to the fact I knew it needed to be modified to fix my 1000CC injectors and it seemed a shame to modify an expensive rail I sent it away to be rebored for 14mm injectors, thanks to Dan my glamorous assistant Sensor hole capped and thread sealed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next welded up a FPR mount and combo EGR blank lol Fitted Also fitted my breather for my ICV Ready to go on a trip! 1st oil feed blank with copper washer 2nd feed with M12x1.25 to AN3 adapter Exhaust ports cleaned And as if by magic!

scott87 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 How did you find polybushing? Im looking to do mine very soon. How long did it take you and would you advise getting spare parts to bush and then swap over or taking parts off bushing a putting back on again? My car is a daily runner hence that question.

Slutters Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Stock UK Spec pump being replaced with a Walbro 455 UK Spec Vs 455!
