Well decided to keep the Supra (for now).

 

I have had a search on here for a possible how to guide or even people that have attempted it and logged it, I have even tried mkiv.com and have drawn a blank. Probably looking for wrong thing.

 

Has anyone done this?

How hard is it?

Is there any tips? ie do you have to remove petrol tank etc

How long does it take for to do a complete swap with no major hicups.

 

I am also going to go for a complete hub to hub change too, so any detail hints tips, things that you done and woudl not do again etc etc.

 

Going to be doing it in about april May time before insurance runs out.

Cheers

It's pretty straight forward, fuel tank stays where it is, you don't even have to remove the rear wheels.

 

Basically it's x4 big bolts holding the subframe x2 anti roll bar mounts to undo, x2 brake pipes to undo, x2 ABS sensors to disconnect and x2 shocks and I think that's it. The whole subframe can then be rolled out from under the car.
