T2 MSW Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 (edited) So its about time I updated the forum with my new project. This weekend so far ive been on a 600 mile round trip picking up Parry_10's old shell and a 2JZ engine from an aristo - massive thanks to Hodge for the advise on this! Got back tonight and been running through a list of things I need to get so I can start building the car back up. Car currently is a bare rolling shell and needs all the interior putting back in, engine, gearbox, lights & wheels - as well of a whole raft of other parts. IanIan was waiting my return with the first part to get the ball rolling - my new rear lights which we test fitted before its even been taken off the trailer Plans are a stock interior and something in the region of 700hp which ive been missing since my last supra was broken. Got a thread up with some things I need to get the ball rolling - http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?290834-Few-parts Edited May 26, 2013 by Littler (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattdavies Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Glad someone bought this, was lovely looking car when Parry owned it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abtin90 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Subscribed glad the shell has gone to a good home. Really looking forward to this coming together especially at 700bhp! Any idea on what turbo kit your going for? LeeP has a hks t51 going cheap. By the way this would make a great donor car for the project, really nice wheels and all. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=290899 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T2 MSW Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 Coolies. Can't wait to see progress on this! What turbo have you got in mind? Not sure yet, I loved the S366 billet I had on the last one and with supporting mods and a bit more boost it will easy make the 700 hp I have in mind for this car. May go for something slightly bigger as I will be going with one of Whiffins twin scroll twin wastegate manifold to bring the spool down. - - - Updated - - - Your welcome buddy. Drop me a line anytime, happy to help. You may regret saying that Really appreciated though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plan is to get the interior done, then the exterior (lights etc) and then spend time workig on the engine - currently looking for an engine stand. - - - Updated - - - So you finally saw sense. Don't confine this one to a track day and enjoy it ffs! This is going to be a road car that I can enjoy - with soem track time thrown in for good measure. Just deciding if I should put a half cage in there in the rear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
