evinX Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 So my latest project has been converting the supra over to manual, the autobox has been giving me grief for the last 2 years and i got tired of it. Plus, who dosent want a manual targa?! I went for a brand new R154 from a JZX100 Chaser. A HUGE thanks to Homer who spent alot of time helping me do the conversion, what a bloke! He and his little one came over and it was a real pleasure do to the work with them, i really learnt alot and its been great fun, and thanks to Mike and Keron for helping me along the way to 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nolizma Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Great stuff! Awesome supra! I got to say though.. Lifting the car up on the gravel drive and getting under it seems extra risky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Late reply but awesome work mate! Your planning was exceptional, the fact you had every last part possibly needed made it so much easier. It was a lot of fun to do some spanner work after so many years, really enjoyed it and Nico loved it too. He asks every day when we’re next going to yours! The car drives really well and I’m very impressed with smoothness of the r154 and stock clutch, it’s like driving a new car. next up…. That single turbo conversion… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
