Vaughany Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 yeh thanks guys, never been into bodykits so just colour coded the original black plastic skirts and active spoiler. Saying that I am thinking about a TRD Carbon spoiler and Bonnet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick_karkie Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 These pics have now convinced me to keep my active spoiler and paint it. So you have it permanently set in the down position and then paint it? looks very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Looks lurvly - PHR Stage1? or Stage2? Please put a cam cover on, you don't want debris hitting your timing belt and wearing it out prematurely!! Is it a genuine Veilside intake or an Ebay one?

Vaughany Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 Hi Guys Thanks for the kind words guys, Alex, cam cover etc is going on mate, it is only off as the project is not finished yet, the car has not been driven. As for spec, here is what I know, well the important stuff anyway, the work is being done by Leon at JPS. A lot of the stuff came from the old setup on his 10sec supra. The car was built from a empty UK shell. 1993 UK Spec Twin Turbo - Lamboughini Blue PHR Stage 2+ Turbo Kit - T67 Turbo Greddy 4 Row Intercooler Fluidyne Radiator with twin electric fans Mocal Oil Cooler Mocal Transmission Cooler 272 Cams Intake and outlet HKS Cam Gears 1200cc Injectors Veilside Intake Autronic ECU Autronic CDI Tein Superstreet Coilovers with EDFC High Stall Torque Converter Uprated Auto Gear Box Built Bottom End - Parts used rated to 1000bhp PHR 150amps Racing Alternator Twin Walbro Fuel Pumps Aeromotive Fuel Pressure Regulator Necessary Guages and Air Fuel Ratio UK Brake setup with briaded fuel lines I am sure their is loads I have missed but the project has been planned indepth so nothing has been missed. I want a reliable 600bhp street car. I had a PHR Stage 1 before on my previous supra but this time I thought I would go as far as the money allowed (Missus would let me:blink:) Only a few things to tidy up, I am hoping to get it back within a couple of weeks so I can get to some shows and make the most of the summer.

Alex Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Oooh nice Autronic ECU 1200cc injectors!! lol - you're not going to need to worry about head room lol!!! Take it they were 2nd hand off of his old setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Gonna have to have a look at this when you get it back mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughany Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 Hi Alex Yes mate, the injectors were off Leons old setup, I thought these were abit of overkill as I will never dream of any where near that much power. At least under fuelling will not be an issue and Leon assures me the Autronic can control the fuelling spot on so I am not running rich when not on boost. The advantage of getting the stuff off of Leon was it was cheaper than new and even though it was second hand, his previous setup only done about 400 miles in the least few years so it is all practicably new. Smarty, as soon as it is done, dont worry mate I will out driving around northants alot, I want to clock up the 1500 running in miles within a couple of weeks so I can tune it to say 1.4bar on low boost and 1.6/1.7 bar on high boost. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaughany Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 Hi Paul, I think it is a 4200 but not sure, I have no idea how this will drive. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaughany Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 Just got back from JPS, Leon has informed me that the car will be ready to collect next week so yippee I can make it to the show at pod on the 7th October. I am very impressed with how the car looks and cannot wait to drive it. Here are some recent pics, more to come once it has had a good clean anad polish. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Looks awesome! Stock body, nice set of wheels, great colour, and a monster engine! Cant wait to see it at the Pod! Well done sir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughany Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 Cheers Bobbeh, yes mate I am very inmpressed with the entire setup of the car. The worst thing will be the 1500 miles of running her in. Hell never mind, cruising at 3000rpm will be ok, just happy to have her back, it has been over a year since I drove my old Supra. I am like a child with a new toy, never drove this car yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
