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



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

[Ivan141]

Smokin!
Nice to hear from you again.. I like the idea of the felt skinned dash. Keep us updated!

[banpei]

Very nice. I really love the color.
Hope your dad didn't burn himself too much.

[Apolan]

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.

[Mux213]

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

[nmwisima]

Ha, for your fathers accident
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

[The Big Yin]

hey all

cheers for the comments

my dad is fine, thankfully didnt burn himself just a bit hol in his trousers lol


the Prothane bushing kit is now fully installed

along with a few other bits

you can check the progress out on my website

http://www.86motorsport.com

alloys probably going a dark gray colour like in the picture above

not to happy with them justnow

they are pitted and scarred spo need to do something wth them

[The Big Yin]

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

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

[BenR]

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.
