Parry_10 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Looking good mike maybe some spacers on the front to bring the wheels out a tad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 LOL yeah when I bought the shell id never seen something quite as unique and loved it - now they are poping up all over the show lol. I love yours, love the colour. Lol it really is a great kit combo. Thanks the colour doesnt look that great on the Audi's but as soon as I saw it on the supra it worked wonders. It's getting harder and harder to build a totally unique car that still looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 Looking good mike maybe some spacers on the front to bring the wheels out a tad? I think I'm going to have to get some yes as it just looks wrong. Then will just take them off for track day use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T2 MSW Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 Exhaust all bolted up and rear brake pipe replaced. Hopefully mini road test tomorrow before MOT and wheel alignment. Dash is all wired in and in its dash pod, hopefully Paul will get a pic of it in the car tomorrow. Just waiting on the Syvecs being replaced for the CAN output to dash to all work.

Paul Whiffin Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) Road test done today Mike, we had to reset the suspension as that settled after the drive. Plus that oil leak is still there on the turbo oil drain on the sump end. Not sure what's going on with that as the bolt threads are M10 instead of M8 so someone must have tapped it out previously. I reckon the flange face can't be flat causing the leak, will take a look tomorrow. MOT and wheel alignment tomorrow too. Can't stick the dash in properly as you need a new top steering cowling mate.

T2 MSW Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 lol nope, Classic policy with 5000 miles a year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I didn't think you could insure modified cars on a classic policy. I might have to look in to that when I renew next. Keep meaning to pop over to Pauls to have a nose at this, but neer find the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep meaning to pop over to Pauls to have a nose at this, but neer find the time Neither did I. But I went through all the mods and filled out the forms etc. They came back with the policy and price knowing everything. Better hurry, hopefully its only going to be there another week.

Paul Whiffin Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 That's well cheap! Car has passed the MOT and wheel alignment done too. New Syvecs turned up late in the day, so just got to get that swapped over tomorrow and get the dash working and I think we are done! I can relax now.

T2 MSW Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 Awesome News. I can get it taxed next week now. Did Dan tell you I phoned this morning, was just getting the low down on this cowling but he said its just smashed up so ill look into getting a replacement. Still need the brake line brackets? Yep can have a few days off, doesn't look like much relaxing with the other projects you have got in. Fuel wise I'm going to mix up some meth with V power and bring it with me. 30% or 50%??

Yes mate, he said you called, its the top part of the steering cowling you need mate, its broken in half! Still need the brake line brackets, its ok to drive but I would fit them ASAP to stop them rubbing on suspension arms. I've got some ethanol for you don't worry, we will chuck that in at the dyno.....I've got some for my GTR too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T2 MSW Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Now got all the parts I need to finish off my rear lights. The lense holders have now been covered, sanded and sprayed with Plastidip. Rather than soldering lots of LEDs and drilling loads of holes Ive bought light rings from eBay. These have been mounted to the solid backs ive put in the light clusters. Just waiting for brushes to arrive and I'm going to paint everything but the LED lenses to match the rest of the cluster.
