Big Supes Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Great to hear it's all sorted. Sounds lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackyBoi Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 Had some huge breather hoses fitted to quench my paranoia. Not only will I never need to worry about my breathers again but they also spice up the bay a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berg Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 That sound When are the wheels due? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackyBoi Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 That sound When are the wheels due? They didn't specify, hopefully very soon I'm just about to order some tyres and I'm stuck between Goodyear Eagle F1's and Pilot Super Sport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackyBoi Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 Can you spot what's missing..? Yup, that's right my exhaust just fell off! Luckily I was only going about 30 so a firm push on the brakes and I stopped before anything else happened. Luckily there isn't too much damage: Is there a better bolt to use to hold the exhaust on? I think all the vibrations etc caused them to both back out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 It fell off? Even if the bolts came undone it should still sit on the hangers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nicholas Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Just looked at your breather pic, so you now have 4x breathers from the stock cam covers? any reason why you didn't just weld on bigger fittings to the stock location. I've never really understood a lot of the catch cans used in Supra engine bays, on any normal race car they return the oil caught in the catch can back to the sump, but the majority on Supra's just seem to collect it.

Because the person who did the welding and work said it would cause some problems running hoses that big alongside the big twin turbos, awkward angles and would rub badly on turbos etc, so he put them elsewhere.

What wheels you getting mate? As I'm waiting on some wheels through driftworks aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackyBoi Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 What wheels you getting mate? As I'm waiting on some wheels through driftworks aswell I ordered the Work Emotion D9R's. I think the reason they're taking so long is because I chose the largest size with the largest width and the largest offset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackyBoi Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 My mate filmed a very quick fly-by for me today, but I want to get a proper video from on the side of the road as it will probably sound much nicer https://vimeo.com/127161299 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
