Mugello Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 None of the pictures working for me? I will try to resolve this Looks like the inline images use the mkiv.co.uk domain instead of the mkivsupra.net domain, so needs an additional log in. The images are attached to the posts as well though. Looking good Moo! This sounds correct, login is required. Also, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delboy52 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Clearance to coilovers, and both adjustable arms (Camber/Toe) are fine. The wheel will fail on the chassis before the coilovers with the offset i am running. Will update this later today. Stay tuned ! Amazing build Moo! It's been big inspiration on my own project. I wondered what you did to address the clearance issue to the chassis mentioned in post #180? You dropped the ride height more later on in the thread than what it was at this point, so I'm curious if this is still an issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You dropped the ride height more later on in the thread than what it was at this point, so I'm curious if this is still an issue? Thanks for the kind words - I'm flattered to hear this build is inspiring people. As for the rear wheel clearance to the suspension/chassis, I have not had to modify anything just used CCW's custom work to ensure everything clears. If I was to go with wider rear wheels I would need to modify the chassis in places before the wheels foul on the suspension. Remember the rear arches on this car are wider, so I had more room to play with from the beginning hence the 13J's I really need to update this thread as a lot of progress has been made!

SupraTRD_MK4 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Yoh man this is insane work. Congrats and keep it up. Was looking forward to see you mounting the fuel cap but thats noob but you have wide rear fenders and so does mine but I for the life of me cant figure out mine. Think they hit a mess up with the shape of the fender or the flap for the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the Nur spec wide arches and fuel filler cap, when I purchased the rolling chassis from James it was already fitted. Which is one of the reasons that I really wanted to buy the project!

Mugello Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 UPDATE: It been a while since I updated this thread, so here goes; Takata's six-point belts arrived in the iconic green The rear half cage is also going to be adapted to allow for the harnesses - But that's for another day Something like this Then I set about changing the aero-top roof seals. When I purchased the car from James we also did a deal on some brand new roof seals he had. So out with the old Everything was cleaned before offering up the new And the roof back on The interior roof, lining was also retrimmed in black And I changed the sun visors from the horrid grey to the nicer black leather. All the internal covers, like the interior light, were also sprayed black to match. I also completely removed the front wipers and reconditioned them. New wiper blades too.

Mugello Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 UPDATE: You will probably have seen that in the above photos the car was getting quite dusty. A few days after the roof seals were installed and fully cured, I decided to push the car out and give it a quick bath It was quite a windy day so I put the kettle on and when I returned most of the dust had been blown off Then I hosed everything down and checked for leaks - We're all good! I'm so happy with my CCW's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mugello Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 Happy New Year All! Apologies for the slow stream of updates - More to come soon. I've been busy developing a 2JZ air conditioning delete kit If anyone is interested in a complete kit let me know - Im looking at trying to offer a group buy or a hobbyist on the forum depending on interest.

Mugello Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 As above, if anyone is after a '2JZ Air Conditioning Delete Kit' I now have these ready to go. I've' tried to speak to several different admins/moderators etc. on this forum about a group buy or hobbyist but no one seems to respond! A search on a popular auction site (ebay) is currently where you can find these. The above pictures are of the development part. The final kit now uses new bolts which do not require the two spacers on the block side - For an even cleaner look! Admin/moderator etc. please can someone respond to my PM's. P.S Big updates coming soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mugello Posted September 25, 2022 Author Share Posted September 25, 2022 (edited) So I pick up this thread with the VVTi engine having arrived, and the engine tear down begun. At this point the idea was to go for a small single turbo with upgraded inlet manifold whilst refreshing the engine generally with new items including; Timing belt, water pump, gaskets, any o-rings etc. I was aiming for around 500bhp with a ‘fast road’ setup looking for good spool and long-term reliability, and a somewhat nice looking engine bay. Anyway, photo dump… At this point with the engine now stripped down, the slippery slope began.
