Good progress mate and exciting that the engine is going back in

Another weekend closer to mapping and whilst everything is still on schedule im not going to have alot of spare time, again I was a little terrible with the photo's as I been stuck so much into the car when iv been out that iv barely given my phone a glance but here's what I got from this weekend... Got to start on a selfie with the car And just another general car pic before getting stuck in... Got the fuel filters up to finish off the fuel lines from the tank to the engine bay, got the diff and the propshaft back up, painted the fuel tank guard, put the exhaust heatshield back up, started to put the intake lines in place from the intercooler up (both sides), put the wasegate back in place and built the breather lines, Pics are all out of sync as I didn't manage to take photo's as I was going so just nipped around with the camera yesterday before coming back in but here they are... Pics of the exhaust being in place... An underneath shot showing the diff back up... And the Prop in place... Fuel filters in place... Fuel lines and Prop... Either side of the intercooler... Wastegate in position... The start of the breather lines... And just as importantly as it was mothers day I managed to find time to make Mum some Chocolate Truffles and a cake hope you all treated your Mum's too...

Done mine friday cheers Wile

hahaha I cant argue with this

Happy to help

Cheers Tim Thanks mate Cheers mate yeah will be alot more updates coming fast now as not much time left to do all remaining, should be ok though Thanks Jake yeah its coming together nicely now Yeah that was a really tough decision I was literally as close to 50/50 as could be when deciding whether to order black or blue on the silicone joiners and hoses but I opted for the blue with my primary thinking being that when finished there will be quite abit of carbon dress up parts in the engine bay and so thought having no other black in the engine bay may possibly enhance the carbon items look... this thought process still only took me to a 51/49 split in favour of the blue though so it may well be something I change after all is together and running so I can fully see the finished item

V160 conversion

Everybody likes a smiley face

Not a big update this weekend unfortunately as the place I needed to go to for the last of the fuel line fittings was closed due to the snow and the guy coming up to fabricate my intercooler pipes couldn't get up either (even though I offered to go pick him up) so has put a bit of a blow to the timescale but hoping I will still be fine What we did manage though was to put the starter motor, power steering pump, air con, fan & radiator back in aswell as coupling a few more bits on the loom and trial my new intake pipe with air filter for size, here's the only piccys I got...

Haha not sure if thats a good or bad thing

Its also quite good that they have realised at this early stage that white is the best base colour for a supra

Oh ok il keep my eye out for it mate looks a beauty Definitely need to get the Herefordshire/Gloucestershire meet organised

I like it Main 2 things about it for me is: I'm glad its kept the legendary "Supra" name Also it keeps with the MKIV styling of looking "happy" from the front end with the headlights etc... Don't get me wrong I like the aggressive look of most cars but the Supra has always iconically had a happy face (Like the pic below where it looks like the Evo is angry at the Supra and the Supra is just smiling in a happy mood, unless that's just me looking to much into it lol) and so glad to see its continued and looks happy too

What area of Hereford are you from? got a pic of it

I agree with the second part of that, is why I broke it for bits but cant have a diesel engine in a Supra

I know bud poor car Yes mate thats the one

All info here bud And welcome

Happy to help

Yes mate maybe mid-late april time the weather should be picking up and we should all have our Supra's on the road so can sort something

Cheers Tim yeah is a massive bonus that it clears Thanks Jamie yeah couldn't resist the plate, Just to match iv also got L220HP that is in my name and will assign to my N/A Aerotop the same day this Supra comes on the road

Another photo update although I did realise after I was actually quite rubbish with taking photo’s this weekend there is a few bits I done where I forgot to take any (was to in the zone) Firstly delivery of a new Greddy clear cam cover and also a new bonnet vent seal (courtesy of Keron so thanks Keron)… Just incase you are thinking that the seal is incredibly see through that is only a pic of the bag after for part numbers of anyone interested as I forgot to take the photo first Then came the installation of the seal… Then went out to the garage and as always got to take a nice pic before doing anything Put the new Greddy cam cover on and also temporarily removed the cardboard from the front of the intercooler for nice pics… Then emphasis was on fuelling so put up the -6 return line… I also put up the twin -8 feed lines too but this was one of the things I forgot to take photo’s of Thought id warm myself up after that and went inside to put together the 3 walbro 485 pumps in my nice new PHR triple pump hanger… Took that back out to the car and into the fuel tank with coupling up the lines… Last thing was that I had always been told I wouldn’t be able to fit my strut brace with this turbo so I thought I would trial fit it to see if it was close and although its got to go the thickness of the nut lower (its just placed ontop of the nuts on the struts) its still got plenty of clearance so will be able to use it  Next weekend should see a big improvement as I have someone coming out on Saturday to do all the remaining fabrication work so will be on the home stretch after that

Nice one will have to say hi when your back Definitely this

Yeah there are a few around, there used to be a few others too as CJ and Cam both had black ones a few years back and Callum had a silver one too, here's my old ones before the ones I have now... How is your build going now? are you in Hereford much over summer?

That was Harley's. Very nice car there are a few about in Hereford now (that aren't owned by me ) Got to admit iv not seen this one moving iv only seen it parked up on their driveway There are a few about now, I drive my black one quite regular, my green one I drove regular back in the summer but thats been parked up for about 6 months now and my white one I drove regular before it came off the road late 2016 but she'l be back out on the road soon too Also in Hereford is the blue one in this topic, a silver one from a lad who works at the leisure centre, a red one that a guy called Mark owns (although not seen that out for a while now) and another white one relatively stock bodied but with a BGW that I believe works at the SAS camp out credenhill and lives Leominster direction somewhere Photo of the car in topic courtesy of Josh...

Hahaha there's not much UK spec left to mine now anyway apart from the chassis number and the headlights Do it you know you want to
