Mugello Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 UPDATE: With my time being split to weekdays at university and weekends at home, i tend to spend most of my time away from the supra However, i always try to find things to do at university that will progress the build without being at home So, using the template on the forum i cut two of these out in the workshop at university.... As much as i love working hands on, i did not fancy cutting the rings out by hand (Plus the laser ensures a perfect circle) Ended up with this... Then all glued with a strong MDF glue and i put some small screws in from the back for extra strength Then i uploaded my next CAD file to the laser cutter Its my own custom jig to measure the clearance needed to clear the 8pot/6pot setup (the spacers which are different thicknesses and the oval shape) and the long thin length showing the rim widths. Anyone want to guess who is making these wheels ? (James you cant play ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitz Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Was it those Wide Ass wheels that James bought for the car then sold on after he bought the Green Car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mugello Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 Big updates coming soon, stay tuned (Balancing a masters degree and a supra build is very challenging) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugello Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 Looks like my first year (of 2) for my masters is over That means time for updates.... While at university these arrives which i began to split as the chrome was flaking off insider on the rings, they also had a tint film on the outside http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=186474&stc=1&d=1401474800 http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=186475&stc=1&d=1401474800 With the tint film off it was time to use the oven http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=186476&stc=1&d=1401474800 And the flaking chrome.... http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=186477&stc=1&d=1401474800 Naturally, being male i was not the best at the oven part and managed to melt one lens So if anyone has a matching pair drop me a pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugello Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 Next was a trip home at the weekend to fit the speaker mounts i had made. Although i used very strong wood glue, for a bit of strength i put a couple small screws in back of them http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=186482&stc=1&d=1401475095 And in keeping with my OCD i used all new stainless steel nuts/bolts to install them http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=186483&stc=1&d=1401475095 I also tidied up/clean the door card plastic membrane etc... But forgot to get a photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugello Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 Then this arrived from Keron (Great service as always) Lovely set on manual clocks http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=186484&stc=1&d=1401475277 With the speaker mounts fitted (still need to sort out what speaker setup i want to install) I decided to install the door cards anyway to stop them getting damaged in storage and because i wanted to see her come together So door cards on and cleaned/polished up http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=186485&stc=1&d=1401475401 Installed most of the dash panels too It was then i noticed on the passenger side that the dash lines didn't quite line up to the door card lines (hard to see in the below photo) so after some investigation i noticed the dash was a little lose on that side http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=186486&stc=1&d=1401475401 So out came the two glove boxes http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=186487&stc=1&d=1401475401 It was just a lose bolt that holds the top part of the dash in, so simple fix. http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=186488&stc=1&d=1401475401 And all back together, with my OCD happy again http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=186489&stc=1&d=1401475401 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugello Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 Then this arrived from the Ultra Racing group buy, i cant see it adding much strength or much in the way of being stiffer, but the stock brace was rusting so it had to go http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=186490&stc=1&d=1401475883 And installed with new stainless steel nuts/bolts (Fuel and brake lines to be installed properly once the mid section is undersealed) http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=186491&stc=1&d=1401475883 More to come soon !
