whoa... been awhile. I was looking at tial's but i already have the HKS adapter pipe so... *shrug whatever works man. I did get a 90 degree coupler in today so I can finally get rid of the huge pinch in the IC piping I had from IC to turbo.... now I think I may need a straight pipe... all I have...
man it IS looking good!!! but hey I read over on SF that many ppl who did widebody kits were having issues with the natural flexing of the body breaking the seams with the widebody portions, which is why, they say, that many ppl who do widebody kits acutally rivet them on, even though it looks...
Thanks guys!!! means a lot!! :D as for the BOV... *sigh I am saving up for a real HKS SSQV :D since the adapter I have right now is for HKS... had some more fun today. 90% humidity sucks though... but I did take her up to around 135, fastest I've ever gone... was afraid to go any faster lmao :P
LoL, if it's any consolation, I plan on upgrading the rear end to 89+ (I have a set of jdm tails being held for me and the wing sitting in the garage :D) but thank you!!! I wish I could do more NOW anyways, pics as promised:
In the process of cutting off the mounting tabs, I sawed too close...
AHH!!! shhhhhh!!!! do not speak of such things... she might hear >_< LoL!!! oh hey I totally forgot to ask you for the TEMS covers, so lmk whenever ur free so i can get those done for you and perhaps take a look at ur interior pieces again... i discovered yet more damage to the middle piece in...
OH
MY
GOD
I just took her out after finishing the final retorque and... what a rush!!!! I can really feel the increase in power and the engine has never sounded meaner :evil2:
My heart is still racing right now.... LoL I can only hope this lasts!!!
so to summarize, today I got the...
Alright, I have 40 some more miles left until the last retorque. School starts next week so I'm going to put things I want done on paper so I won't have to keep rethinking ideas for the Supra.
Opinions from the community will be much appreciated, that said here I go:
I am going to sideline...
K I have developed a coolant leak from the heater vacuum valve...
... need a new one cuz I don't think its leaking from the hoses... unless someone else has opinions
this is from yesterday when I cleaned the fuel sender unit
wtf my fuel gauge just died... i know for a fact it's not empty, but it reads empty... would a hard fast turn to the right cause the fuel level thingy to get stuck?
Hey haven't had a chance to check the timing yet. My plan to finish up the upper intake mani which includes draining the coolant so i can get the timing cover off has been postponed by lack of funds :( hopefully i can get to mobes place this week to do the timing with the light etc.
k pics...
nice!!! are you gonna start a build thread? the car is doing pretty good, she pulls pretty well without the turbo, can't wait to see with!! haha, driving around all day under 2600 rpm... kind lame but oh well. Put the two small underbody panels back on just now.
what do you think about the...
OK I did my first retorque after 6 heat cycles. Trying to break the bolts loose was a huge pain... I ended up using a pipe to get enough leverage to move the ratchet... and are you supposed to hear a loud pop/crack when the bolt "breaks" loose? I only loosened each one about 1/8th of a turn...
Ooo nice!!! thanks man!! perhaps sometimes next week? I start school on the 23rd so... might not have time so easily after then. I need to get the car tinted too if I want my interior to survive past this summer. LoL
