Homer Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 The all important and rare VVTi engine bay loom is now sourced from Keron. Not cheap this one but they are rare as hens teeth. Also received the coil packs from Marc_p, thanks mate, very much appreciated, they're like new Also ordered brand new coil pack mounts, screws and clips from Toyota, again not cheap but they're impossible to find 2nd hand. I'm also going to have a go at refurbing the alternator as they're impossible to find 2nd hand. All that should be here by Friday so I'm hoping to have another day on the car this Saturday. It's going to be a long job to replace the bay loom but it's the best way forward. Now I am just working on the parts list.. I have sourced the following so far: - Tranny tunnel (need to order from Toyota, can't be bothered dealing with a 2nd hand one) - Clutch master (possibly from Dr Jekyll) - Clutch slave (possibly Dr Jekyll) - Clutch line (will order the braided one posted earlier in this thread) - 5spd gearbox (already own, need to pick up from Dr Jekyll) - Clutch (Should be a puck one with the gearbox, so need to pick up) - Engine crane - Plugs and all fluids for the service - Auxiliary belt And I still need to find: - 5spd Flywheel (need to source one, not going to buy new) - Brake, clutch and accelerator pedals - TT throttle cable - Facelift rear lights and loom - Stock or TRD spoiler - OEM style Recaro seats - New steering wheel - A good panel beater to repair the rear hatch! and probably lots more as I'm sure there's more issues to come So far I've spent about £480 on top of the price of the car but I can easily see another £1k going into it.

Swampy442 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Ive got an aux belt you can have, also have a throttle cable if an Aristo one is any good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 If it's any help, next time I'm at Craigs, I can pick the box up for you? If you haven't got it by then. Only saves about 30 miles, but the offer is there. I live just outside Chepstow, if you want to work out distances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 Ive got an aux belt you can have, also have a throttle cable if an Aristo one is any good. If the belt is in very good condition I'll take that mate Not sure if the Aristo cable will fit, can't say I've heard of using one before on a Supra.

Tom Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Good luck with this Darryl, hope it doesn't end up costing a fortune! What condition are the cams in? from one of the pics with the oil cap off it didn't look pretty in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuneR Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Nice work mate, love RSP colour! Scratchs on the bodywork should polish out or at worst require a small sanding before a polish. Least of your problems atm though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 Door wiring is now patched back together, the aftermarket speaker wires are removed and everything is returned to stock. Patched the moisture seal back in and did a small repair, they're actually in good condition. Fitted some replacement speakers in the stock pods and installed the door card. Windows are now fully working along with the door locks, etc. Simple job but still took 2 hours! Johnny had a lot of sound proofing done on the car and the doors close with a satisfying clunk, such a difference to stock. Also replaced one of the A-pillar plastics but the other is badly damaged, a replacement is on it's way. Small steps but getting there... Next big job is to replace the wiring bay loom, so that'll be done over the weekend if the weathers reasonable. Edited to add, the car came with nearly all the screws and bolts missing, so I'm having to rob ones off the daily and do it half and half. Will complete it when the daily is stripped... Also found a huge box of spare TT parts from when I did my old single conversion including a set of turbo's I forgot I had. These should save a fair bit when replacing all the rusty and corroded bits on this engine. Good job I'm a parts hoarder 2nd edit, also found a single turbo manifold, T61 turbo, downpipe, 650cc, 550cc & 440cc injectors, aftermarket fuel rail, aeromotive FPR, ultra rare big faced HKS boost gauge and a shed load of lines and other single parts. I don't even remember where I got this stuff from! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
