how the car looks just now

Dash removed so i could sort it, full of cracks and chunks missing, so going to give it a fibreglass skin and felt it with black felt

i also wanted the clocks out so i could find out why i have no dash lights

to so this i had to remove all of the lower dash panels
and part of my rollcage

took out front seats for ease of access

front bumper is off to finishe getting it meshed

also took it off so i could relocate the oilcooler

this was so i could see where i am going to fit my twin electric fans, junked the belt driven viscous fan in favour of these to regain lost power

#alloys are also being repainted probably in a dark grey colour
like these

future plans

well all of this is underway
new TRD 2 way LSD with a 4.1 crown wheel and pinion
Polyutherane full bushing kit
Front and Rear Control Arm bushings, Front Strut Rod bushings, Rear Track Arm bushings, Front and Rear Sway Bar bushings, Front and Rear End Links

should be fun
paint the alloys
strip interior and sort dash
fit new harnesses
fitting twin electric fans in place of belt driven viscous

along with hopefully paz's old front end attached to my car Very Happy

Well another box from the states arrived today

My prothane bushing kit
and fuck me I did not realisethere wer e so many bushes on my car
rear sway bar
FRT strut rod kit
rr track arm kit
front c-arm kit
rear control arm kit
rear end link
sway bar bush
end link set
sway bar bushx2

the rear control arm set has 16 bushes in it alone this could be a challenge doing on the drive

now all i have to do is figure out where everything goes

will i have to re use some of the emtal inserts tha are already on the car?

couple of other parts ordered
water temp and volt gauge. to go woth my oil temp and pressure ones

when the diff broke i decided to take the car off the road for a few months and do other work to the car while it was knackered

i am stuck driving a peugeot 406 TD just now lol its so slow and boring but gets me from AtoB

OK new parts ordered
Blitz Front Brake pads
TRD Engine Mounts
Cusco GearBox mounts

Paz's old front end

Started to fit the protane bushing kit today, going well, apart from my dad setting himself on fire he forgot the low toarch was on and stood over ot then proceded to go on fire

Very nice. I really love the color. Thumbsup

Hope your dad didn't burn himself too much. Embarassed

i think that the rims are to small for this bodykit. or better said, the bodykit is to big for them nice rims. otherwise great project.

Looking good mate! hows the new RNP and diff coming along?

Ha, for your fathers accident Very Happy

He is allright, isnt he?

Well, we new this is a great car, we hope you make it even better.

I dont like the Supras painted black in your car.
Body color is allready too dark, so I d say keep the Supra's Silver Smile

www.86motorsport.com

ok couple more updates

my dad has started to panel the rear of the car off, instead of putting any trim back in just going to panel it in with wood, and felt it.

fitted a second fusebox, so i can can tidy the wiring up some in the engine bay

2 new guages, Water Temp, and a volt gauge
the leak from the rear lights has been sorted

some more new parts arrived
TRD engine mounts
and the Cusco Gearbox mount
Blitz brake pads
car is now fully pollybushed

my plans for the engine have changed slightly,

I now plan to build a 10k RPM race engine, but that is way in the future
the procam camshafts, with al lthe upgrades from the drop down menus
the reytec d1 ecu and coilpack kit
the forged crankshaft
4ag forged pistons
metal exhausr gasket
strenghtened flywheel bolts
metal headgasket
most of the stuff is in this link here
http://www.tougeten.com/86/index.php?osCsid=f12...5a252f91cddcc80ac

at the minute I still dont have my Diff back, and th dash is still in the greenhouse, although it has all been sorted

whats the point in buying all that stuff just for the sake of it?

A late stock crank will take 10k, your list doesnt include rods, those pistons are not very impressive (like all jap pistons).

That ECU kit is STUPIDLY expensive and not that comprehensive and there will be no support for tuning it over here in europe.

All the parts you list i'd be impressed if you hit 170bhp.

Posted: Sun Nov 26, 2006 2:32 pm Post subject:

that aint the full list for the mods dude

ECU i aint decided on yet

amd not just for the sake of it either

Wataru Joined: 01 May 2005 Posts: 110

just spend your money wisely otherwise you'll end up with an expensive 170bhp motor.

Jap cams are out of date and poor in design, so are their pistons and throttle bodies.......infact i cant think of anything jap that i would buy apart from the tyres.

Big Tin, i think benr is right! Take this for example!

4age
overbore to size 0.5 (81.5)
wiseco high comp pistons
0.8mm steel head gasket
shaved head
282 intake and exhaust cams at 8.3 mm lift
megasquirt ecu
full done exhaust
complete airbox intake

that will give around 170 hp in the engine. GOing further the tvis must go and be replaced for throttle bodies!

and perhapsi may be just be wishing in that spec

but it is something to aim for

still dont know what way i am going to go with my engine

but i want to build a mad engine

and normally aspirated

Posted: Fri Feb 02, 2007 7:50 pm Post subject:

yeah

will have my diff back next week

so can get the car all built up and ready to rock again

need to go take it for an MoT as well, that ran out on ther 31st Jan
114 mile round trip for that
to the only guy I trust to MoT the car for me, I trust very few with the keys to the car after what happened to the white one.

as for paneling the back off, I did get it done very very very thin MDF and accoustic felt

need to put the dash back in
seats, clocks
wire guages up
refit drive shaft
diff and pumpkin
halfshafts
tyres on wheels

and MoT tax and insure the car

Good news man!

I'm sure she'll pass without problems!

Posted: Sat Feb 03, 2007 4:34 pm Post subject:

well

it has been 2 months since the car last started and about 4 months since i have driven her

today i filled the radiator up and got her started, god what a sound, i missed that so much, the rumble from the exhaust, the sweet sound of a 4A-GE

here are some pics of the rear

I like the overall look of the car. I would just clean it up a bit. No exposed wires and paint the engine bay, but that also depends on what your final goal with the car is.

Posted: Sat Feb 03, 2007 6:44 pm Post subject:

Much better and it looks quite comfy in there. Puh

Posted: Sat Feb 03, 2007 6:44 pm Post subject:

tis not a show car

buiulding her to drift with

i plan on taking the engine out nex year maybe so when that is out i will paint the bay black

the wiring in the engine bay has already been sorted out

not looking to build a minter but a car that i can learn to drift in and hopefully become competative with,

but as the car is also my daily driver i wanted soething i nthe back to make it look a bit betetr and bring the noise level down

as for the wiring i nthe car itself, thts geting sorte before i put the dash back in place Very Happy
