Cheers Guys

 

Left things running today with the front of the car raised up to let all the air out and it seems to have done the job, took it for a few 2nd turbo pulls on a private road and it didnt overheat so fingers crossed thats done.

 

Bumper re-fitted and pretty much done!

I also fitted my carbon fuse box lid that i've had for a while also.

Cheers guys, Sheefa, less taking selfies with sales photos and fix your car i wanna see that too! lol :)

 

Looks great ric.

 

What was the fitment like on the rad shroud?

 

Only just seen this dude. fitment was great to the mishimoto rad, all the holes line up, the only issue I'm having is with the stock air intake for the airbox, however because i have the APR cooling plate it's pretty much useless anyway.

 

But the shroud fit great.

Brilliant cheers mate. I have the same rad so good to know. I'm either going to go carbon or paint a spare one gloss black if I can find one that isn't cracked

Hi Guys,

Another update here, things are getting ready for japfest!

 

I was starting to get into a pickle with tools in the garage (which is tiny already) so i got myself a slimline tool box to put in garage

Some of you might remember i was having issues with a leaky aerotop (even after new seals) around a year back, this cause my dyed carpet to fade a little and go a little brown, so i decided to re-dye the carpet (Thanks to supra_ufo for the dye)

 

Before:

After:

Some pics of the sound deadening under the carpets while they are up (cables were tidied up before putting it back):

I got a little help from the wife cleaning the engine bay up (she wont like me posting this lol)

Fitted my turned aluminum heater knobs to fit the rest of the dashboard.

When the carpet was back down i went ahead and fitted my Do-Luck floor brace.

Truth be told i nearly gave up with this, it was a pain to fit and i wouldn't like to do it again.

I've got a dash cam fitted to my daily drive and the missus's car, so i decided to get the same one for the supra, i really like these units, they are tiny, fit behind the mirror and can be forgotten about.

Just needs a ignition live, fits great really happy with it.
