Where it all began

image

image

As much as the veilside kit is hated I loved it but fate had other ideas

A slight altercation with a glass bottle lying in the road resulted in a massive crack in the front bumper so it had to go :(

image

This led to a purchase of a stock front end

image

And side skirts and a RMM lip

image

The finished article :)

But I needed something different

image

Not to everybody's taste but that's the point ;)

image

image

So after that i was quite happy pottering about going to shows and meets getting stamped on by ford mondeos at traffic lights so I decided to order a little present for the supe

image

Now because I have the W58 chocolate box I thought this might save it ;)

So I have one 1jz gte with hybrids leaking cam seals and an auto loom next step cleaning painting polishing and removing the N/A

image

With a little help from some friends the 2jz came out

 

image

After a lot of elbow grease and lots and lots of new gaskets sourced from every corner of the planet a splash of Ali silver and 3L2 red I landed up with this

looks great, like how the engine looks. How do you like the performance or isnt it 100% yet?

Personally I would get rid of the roof spoiler, there IMO horrid and spoil the lines.

 

Thanks for the kind replies guys and the roof spoiler is staying I'm afraid ;) as far as performance is concerned I've only tested it yesterday for a couple of miles and it's certainly a lot faster than the N/A I only briefly reached 1bar once and nearly Had heart failure the HKS RS sounds great I'm looking forward to putting some miles on if next weekend :)

I will do a write up soon I used trebor69's write up in the tech section but there are some differences if you keep the supra fuse box I had a big issue with the fuel pump ecu and the efi relay and the temp sensor but a week studying wiring diagrams and cross referencing it is quite easy

Looking good has been a great transformation! Felt great on the small test run and had some awesome noises coming from the turbos, can't wait for the proper test run:eyebrows:

Will that be when the red car and the blue car have a race ???? ;)
