My black widebody MKIII with 2JZ-GTE and V-160

whoa.

By the 8th picture I was sure this was another Scandinavian build. You guys don't do things in halves, do you?

Very nice looking, going to be a blast to drive... and likely turn heads everywhere it goes, too.

Some advice though - that's where I my oil cooler is, and I'm not happy with it. The thing gets so hot that I'm sure it's having a bad effect on my radiator's ability to cool the engine. I'm going to move mine... I'd rather loose some cooling on the oil than lose cooling on the radiator.

Thanks again for all your kind words, its much appriciated.

GrimJack: Do you also have the Greddy oilcooler? What kind of radiator do you have? Thanks for the heads-up.

Koyo radiator... soon to be replaced with a PWR, and my oil cooler is from Earls. Pretty similar, though:

Looks incredible! This will be jaw dropping when completed. Hell, its jaw dropping now!!!

GrimJack: I have been thinking of making wings on the front of the oilcooler so that the air has to pass through it what do you think about that?
Ask92: Thank you!

I don't think that will help your engine coolant temps any. It should be great for the oil temps!

I'm thinking about moving my oil cooler to the outside of the frame rails, behind where the foglight goes. If I need more airflow, I'll either fab a duct for it, or more likely, put a small electric fan on it.

What front bumper is that? Or what bumper is it based off of? Thanks!

Amazing work, love the big fat rubber you've chosen for the rear also.

 

[Turbo Skegget]

GrimJack: Ok, I will try this setup. If it doesnt work for me I will get longer hoses and place it were you suggested.
Flateric: It is an modified Greddy Gracer front bumper. Thx!

Looks very interesting. Can't wait to see this project done.

 

[hvyman]

Are you going to keep the moldings?

 

[Turbo Skegget]

Hvyman: No the car will be shaved but keeping the doorhandles

 

[Reiketsukan]

This car is God-like.... Just unreal!! F-ing subscribed!!

 

[Turbo Skegget]

Thanks!
I did not think this thread would give me any extra energy but all your kind words really help!! Now I am drunk... will work on the Supra today or at least on Monday

Astounding. I like that your fabricator is using sheetmetal for the widebody; fiberglass crushes very easily. I'm in the process of fixing just such a crushing accident, and was thinking about doing something similar to the metal cage your guy built for reinforcement.

Also, what are the specs on your wheels, width and offset-wise?

 

[Turbo Skegget]

Thanks. The metal-skeleton will not remain on the car when finished. The wheels are modified Brock B1. Tires are 315 on the rear and 245 on the fronts.

Shaving

These are the only tools plus a welder that Zoran uses on this build!!

 

[suprayo]

Looks good so far

 

[scotty]

Din galna svenska! :yikes:

Such a unique and amazing build. Will follow this closely.

Thanks, din tokiga Norrbagge
