[BrandonW]

[HMNGSupraMKIII]

Just went through all the pages. Awesome build man.

 

[BrandonW]

thanks, the build has had its ups and downs lol

got these delivered today, these are in better shape than the original ones on my car

 

[BrandonW]

sweet pic i took from a local meet yesterday and one someone else took that i like
and things going to take place this week:
new ac compressor
new ac receiver/drier
get the other tail lights on

 

[BrandonW]

did a vacuum and charge of the ac system, seems to be working great its just not hot yet to need it

if any problems i want to have them sorted before the hot summer

did happen to have another issue with the ac, the low pressure port was leaking and actually had a clog in it so I removed the plate off the ac compressor and cleaned it all out hopefully the last of the ac issues for a good while

 

[BrandonW]

nothing really new yet just going to some car meets/charity things like this that was huge:


love how the cf has this gold look to the weave most I see looks silverish like my windshield cowl


some small vids:

and for now the ac is still working for a little over a month now (even thought I haven't really needed it but i still turn it on every now and then to make sure lol) so I think the problem has been fully corrected FOR NOW now it will stop working since I made this post

 

[BrandonW]

got one of these

 

[BrandonW]

kind of thinking about doing this with the upper coolant hose, ive been seeing this at local car shows and kinda like it

 

[empera]

dont do it.

 

[BrandonW]

small update since not much has been going on with the car, Ive just been driving it but atm its garaged for the winter

the next new things to be installed:

-front bushings (black)
-rear bushings (black)
-r154 marlin crawler shifter socket
-r154 marlin crawler urethane shifter bushing

 

[atmperformance]

i wouldn't mind a clear coolant hose.

 

[BrandonW]

ha yea I thought it was pretty cool to be able to see it lol

and you could always know if there is some air in the hose by just looking

love how the cf has this gold look to the weave most I see looks silverish like my windshield cowl

VIS racing produces the gold weave CF, I have a OEM replica hood in this and it looks great in the sun. Grey in the shade but when the sun hits it, it does sparkles I notice I get twice as many looks with it. I think people are confused why I'd put a different coloured hood on until the CF weave comes through lol

thats probably what it is im not sure, when I got them they were or just about first releases from retro spec and looked normal when I first put them on in the light and all I guess the heat added to the color change
