Wired in the anti lag tonight. Was going to go down to a deserted road and make a video throwing fireballs... But guess what? It snowed about a half inch today.. aaaaaaaaaaand I'm stuck.
And that's how much snow it takes to get a Supra with wide ass nt555s stuck. Lol

So between School and work.. I like to spend time making car parts. Currently I'm focusing on shift knobs. With as little time as I have, it's nice to work on something simple lol. But I just made our primiero shift knob out of aluminized bronze. Plus, since it was going into a mk3 with a V160, it needed the bottom counterbored for the shifters reverse lock out ring.. this is what I came up with.
Its not quite done in that picture. But it shows the counter bore.
And here's some I've done in the past.
And a sneak peak of my next one.. this will be engraved into it.
Let me know what you think!

Yep. It only has power with the key in the on position. And it uses the factory start switch so no issues with cold start and the alarm still functions
I'm way too proud of this thing. Main profile was made on a manual lathe, all engraving was done on a Haas 4 axis CNC mill. It was fun to program, that's for sure! Then I painted over all the engraving, and polished the excess off. What you're left with is beautiful!
On a side note, I've done a couple things to the Supra.. I need to get on my phone and post pictures!
Well, over the weekend I decided to pop the supra up on Jack stands and do the clutch. No issues at all..
Out with the old...
In with the new.
Looking pretty.. soon to be covered up lol. But overnight, while it was still on stands.. I figured out where my power steering fluid was going...
Yeah. That's gonna have to change. Gotta get a 5/8ths hose a couple feet long to put my n/a power steering res in. And that's where my leak is coming from. Res to pump feed line. Simple! Plus it'll look good with what I'm planning for the intake!

Just a different shot of the new start switch in its final position. No more worries of the damn thing not cranking over!
And since I think it's just plain badass.. here's a 3 inch 6 bolt and nut I made for my buddy. It's what holds the house to the semi when they move em.
Yeah. It takes a 6 inch wrench lol.

Great build thread so far! Love the stories and love what you can do with metal. Huge friggen bolt/nut. That's gotta be fun threading those.
So.. Things have definitely changed in my goals this year for this car. Still gonna be totally old school electronics and such. Take a stab at whats happening guys!

I kinda thought so haha. Maybe body work or suspension work? I don't know just guessing.
Haha no, no, no, no, and no. Going T4 baby!! Gonna return my bee r (didn't really work right anyway) and I'm getting a Tial 38mm gate to go with my new (used) DM 57 trim t4 turbo with an eBay t4 header that's been ported and custom downpipe and intake.. here's a picture of the setup.
Its BJ92Ts setup. Trading him a couple turbos and a new accordian tube and some other odds and ends for it. I am MORE than stoked!!
He made just shy of 400hp on 9 pounds of boost....
