Suprakeith Posted April 18, 2024 Share Posted April 18, 2024 That is stunning mate, really love the look of your engine bay. Wish mine looked that good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iky Posted April 25, 2024 Share Posted April 25, 2024 Good work lad, with regards to the potential prop issue. I had the same thing. I just looked at online photos of Supra props and aligned mine similar. Took a few tries but got it in the end. I mad sure to mark it with paint then for future.

HarleyFDMD Posted June 19, 2024 Author Share Posted June 19, 2024 (edited) Fresh oil change done recently. Also ordered some new diff oil too and bought a TRD gearbox mount so I'll likely get that done on Saturday. Still need to finish my jacking points too!

HarleyFDMD Posted June 22, 2024 Author Share Posted June 22, 2024 Got a few jobs done today that I've been meaning to finish. Firstly got my transmission mount swapped out for a TRD one i bought from Chris Parry (thanks Chris).. tbh im sure im going to keep it yet though! Its considerably harder and creates quite a lot more noise through the transmission which im not exactly loving lol so might end up buying a new oem one.. I'll see if i can learn to accept it first. Then i gave my diff a fresh oil change. Been driving the car pretty hard and been doing loads of launches and burnouts so thought it would be wise to check/replace the oil. Fortunately everything seems absolutely fine. Oil came out nice and clean. and then finally i pretty much finished the jacking point i started to make on the rear drivers side. Forgot to get pictures of it after I'd smoothed the welds and epoxy'd it but I'll get some next time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter P Posted June 23, 2024 Share Posted June 23, 2024 Wow! Certainly made some flames and a good smoke show! lol. Sounds amazing as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyFDMD Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 Its been a minute so just figured I'd give this thread a bump. No progress as such, got a few plans in mind though. Still need to drop the gearbox and send it to Paul Cheshire.. just time and lots of money though especially as i want the billet centre casing. Billet rear diff casing is definitely a must so that will likely happen soon. Titanium bonnet prop recently purchased from Pete im looking forward to getting this polished and re burnt over the weekend. Head light intake, you know where people drill a huge hole through the head light.. i fancy giving that a go, but not on my brand new headlights lol.. need to find a good used one. Possibly a set of Blitz side skirts, carbon TRD bonnet and go back to the TRD wing, although im not 100% sure on that yet. Also.. underglow.. maybe.. dont shoot me. I've done the clean oem look for a couple of years now, i now have the itch for a bit of rice 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdavies Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I approve of all the above mods I yo-yo with liking full stock body and lip,skirts and wing look. Keep up the good work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyFDMD Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 Couldn't wait till the weekend to do the bonnet prop.. Got it polished up and then burnt the bends to get that nice gold/purple/blue colour. I must say, im pretty bloody happy with it. For such an insignificant component i think it now looks mega. Photos dont really do it much justice tbh. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter P Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Looking good mate. Glad you’re happy with the bonnet prop, couldn’t get over how much lighter it was than OEM. Looks great in your engine bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Blitz side skirts are one of my favourite side skirts for the MKIV. They'll look the part for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyFDMD Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 Yesterday i began stripping a few bits off the car. I like my engine bay but i dont love it and I cant quite put my finger on what it is that i dont like. Certainly some of the red accents (which weren't intentional) i will be changing, so I've bought some black silicone end caps to cover the top mounts, the oil filler cap will be either painted black or polished, the red battery wires will be wrapped in black tape and my whifbitz anti roll bar will also be painted black.. so that should get rid of all the red! I've also got rid of the gold heat reflective tape off the strut tower and im in the process of removing the lower boost pipe that comes off the bottom of the turbo because thats also going to go black. I have removed the intake pipe and strut brace and will also remove the intake manifold boost pipe and will be send them off to have re made in titanium. Some of the purple accents im going to replace with polished parts instead, like the pulleys and radiator brackets. Hopefully this will tone the colours down a little bit and tie everything in better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyFDMD Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 I have also bought a used drivers side head light which this evening i have had in the oven to separate and then make into a 'headlight intake' I did try doing it without separating it initially but there's no way it would have come out to an acceptable standard as all the debris from cutting the back of the housing falls into the headlight. Tomorrow i need to find somewhere that sells 120mm OD pipe! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
