Some of you will remember the green single turbo auto that was for sale on ebay with quite a few problems back august last year... (http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?336249-Doing-my-bit-for-the-Supra-world!!!&highlight=green+ebay) well she's now roadworthy and on our streets again :D there is still alot to do to finish off the conversion properly and make it into the car I want it to be but as of yesterday she is now on the road again :)

 

Some pics of her with my mates 370Z last night and also one of her in works car park this morning :)

Good news !

 

What have you done so far ?

 

I see in the last post you had a oil leak and P/S leak, They all sorted now..

 

Think you should still keep it green :cool:

 

Thanks mate :) yeah the fluid leaks was slight corrosion in one of the metal elbows, another was just a copper gasket on the banjo bolt and the last was the crank seal so they weren't very costly which was nice but also had the alternator to rebuild as the regulator had gone and a hose to replace that split and throw coolant all over the floor. All seems to be running fine so far and holding all types of fluid where they should be :)

 

Think I will probably keep it green :) does need tidying up though but thats last job :)

Now its all road worthy and all the faults fixed and done a good amount of miles in her over summer to check she's running ok iv finally got round to sourcing a few bits for this :)

 

Im no longer continuing down the single turbo route though iv just sourced a full twin turbo setup off Cameron on here (Cam27) as he is going single turbo on his so I will put this back to a stock twin turbo setup, I also have tein coilovers and a whiffbitz 3" exhaust and decats for it. I do need to source a new TT auto gearbox with coolers though as I feel the boostlogic box I got to go on is abit of an overkill being rated to 750lb/ft torque so will be selling that separate :)
