Indeed. Thanks mate, did put my mind at rest and the harnesses were actually the easy part in the end.

Afternoon All. So had a mammoth day yesterday driving across to Whifbitz to get the half cage and harnesses installed. Huge thanks to the guys for their hard work and effort, wasn’t as easy as I’d have liked, looks like the rear is slightly out possibly linked to the accident damage we found when we replaced the drivers side rear quarter. Meant a lot of elongated holes to get it to fit, but it worked in the end and I’m really happy with how it came out. Had a good wash and clean inside and out today, next up is the trip to SRD in a couple weeks to get the single fitted. Hoping they can send me some photos and updates I can share with you all. Till then, here’s a few photos of the cage and harnesses all fitted and looking rather tasty. Enjoy!

Thanks mate. Gives me a good idea of how to fit mine next week. Looks great.

Thanks mate. That would be greatly appreciated. They look great, bet you’re pleased with them. Know they aren’t cheap, but the quality is there for sure.

Looks lovely mate. Any chance you can snap a pic of how you fixed them at the rear please. Not sure if the half cage I’m getting has eyelets to fix the harnesses to, can’t quite see where the shoulder straps are fixed. The waist ones are straightforward, just shoulders I wasn’t sure about. Thanks in advance for any help.

Great choice. I have for the same for mine funnily enough. Also went black as the green wouldn’t look right. Be keen to hear how you go with the install, getting my half bolt in roll cage installed at Whifbitz on the 3rd May, so hoping to fit the harnesses as well before I drive back.

Nice. Let us know how you get on with fitting it mate. Hopefully it goes on smoothly.

Guessing Whifbitz? Know they offer a facelift version. https://www.garagewhifbitz.co.uk/garage-whifbitz-supra-carbon-radiator-shroud-facelift/

Nice. Yes please, be good to get your feedback when it’s done mate. No noises though on mine, it was a tricky one to gauge as I went Tiptronic to V161 with the clutch that came with the box. Whilst a bit on the worn side, actual operation and noise wise it’s pretty much OEM. Think SRD were a bit worried when they saw the condition of the clutch, but they were surprised how well it drives. Think you’ll be happy mate. Good luck with the install.

Hi mate. Welcome and nice seeing another Supra being brought back to its former glory. Hats off to you as wiring is my cryptonite! lol. Much happier with the mechanical side, hence I leave the electrics to the pro’s. Like the junction box, very tidy. I’m guessing you’re still in the investigation phase as far as the source of the water on the passenger side. Unfortunately sounds like it could be a failed heater matrix which is well documented on the forum. How do you find the heater controls? Will it blow warm/cold etc? Another one could be door seals especially where the window glass contacts at the top as there is no frame. Just a suggestion or two to consider and check. Whatever the cause, I’m sure you’ll get it sorted. It will be worth it in the end mate, keep up the good work. All the best, Pete

Morning Buddy. Nice, no, mine isn’t noisy. In fairness, the clutch is quite worn mate. I’m going for a brand new Spec Stage 3+ shortly, as we are finally fitting the Hypertune and single kit including the rather mighty Garrett G40-1150. Will be interesting to see how that drives being new and beefier than the current Stage 2+. But to answer your question, flywheel is quiet with no excess noise whatsoever. Who fitted yours mate? Was it new or used?

Pretty sure these are my old wheels/tires. If so, think you’ll find they are 8.5 front 9.5 rear. Original ad here:

I couldn’t agree more. Got mine as well and the finish/quality is top notch. Love it and thanks to all involved in producing such a great calendar.

No worries. Agreed, easiest way is to rewire from the horn pin and hopefully that sorts it for the MOT. Having done my dash swap, not a fun job or something you can do quickly. Fingers crossed for the fix.

Nice progress guys. Not sure if it helps, but I had to sort my horn after swapping out the steering wheel from Tiptronic to manual. I decided to lose the flappy paddle wiring as it’s no longer needed. Left me with one wire for the horn which I connected via the OEM plug and all good. Don’t think therefore it’s the wiring that’s causing your issue. I would try fitting the Celica wheel now just to eliminate anything wrong with the current one. I think you said you’ve tried that and no wheel at all so I’d say wiring and grounding on something between the steering column and the engine bay fuse box as you suggested before. Hopefully the confirmation it’s only 1 wire on the facelift horn helps at least. Good luck getting it sorted for the MOT.
