Guest Dave P Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Hi,to all the members on the forum,when i was up at Envy last friday checkin on the progress of my supra,i managed to read all the comments that you guys had wrote,with the exception of a geezer called Alex i would like to say cheers nice one,and to alex,i thought long and hard about swopping from the hks 2835s to the present set up,but 8 second quarters is what i want eventually,even if it means fitting titan motorsports 3.4 stroker,which i plan to do at the end of next year,having the gt55/91 is going to be like driving an N/A below 3500rpm thats when the 55 begins to stir,but eh!after that it should go into orbit,having the crane cams massive profile should really help the breathing,we've also got a weldon fuel pres. regulator,weldon is more well known in the drag circle,funny cars and such,so its well up to the job,and bloody expensive.The kandy paint looks amazing,you have to see the car in the flesh to really appreciate it,the bodyshop have done a great job,blended the skirts into the front and rear wings,i've got to go back up to Envy on friday 16 when the paintshop will be done,the new wheels should be on along with the ap brake kit,the jun rear wing,do-luck mirrors,varis bonnet which i'm really happy to say fits,only just,i might have to put a bit of ali. tape on the under side,however the turbo will have a heat jacket,we eventually found one that fitted which i'm happy about.When i'm up and running i'll be lucking forward to meeting up with other supra folk,at the mo i'm using me mates laptop,i'll get one of my own when my finances have recovered,so thanks again for all the support people,i'm getting really impatient now to have it back,especially with all this good weather,18 months without it,see ya.

Pete Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Hi to all the members on the forum. When i was up at Envy last Friday checking on the progress of my supra, I managed to read all the comments that you guys had written. With the exception of a geezer called Alex, I would like to say cheers/nice one and to Alex. I thought long and hard about swapping from the HKS 2835s to the present set up, but 8 second quarters is what I want eventually, even if it means fitting Titan motorsports 3.4 stroker, (which i plan to do at the end of next year). Having the gt55/91 is going to be like driving an N/A below 3500rpm, that's when the 55 begins to stir, but eh! After that it should go into orbit! Having the crane cams massive profile should really help the breathing. We've also got a Weldon fuel pres. regulator. Weldon is more well known in the drag circle, (funny cars and such), so its well up to the job and bloody expensive. The Kandy paint looks amazing, you have to see the car in the flesh to really appreciate it. The body shop have done a great job and blended the skirts into the front and rear wing. I've got to go back up to Envy on Friday 16 when the paint shop will be done. The new wheels should be on along with the AP brake kit, the JUN rear wing, Do-Luck mirrors and Varis bonnet which I'm really happy to say fits! Only just. I might have to put a bit of alu. tape on the underside, however the turbo will have a heat jacket. We eventually found one that fitted which I'm happy about. When I'm up and running I'll be looking forward to meeting up with other Supra folk. At the mo I'm using me mates laptop, I'll get one of my own when my finances have recovered. So thanks again for all the support people, I'm getting really impatient now to have it back, especially with all this good weather, (18 months without it). See ya! I have loved seeing your impressive beast coming together in the thread. Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
