Paul Whiffin Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 Looks pretty neat. Would look better with a flocked dash though I'd like to do that yep, it weighs a ton as it is though! I do wonder what would happen to the dash if all of the foam and vinyl was removed. It looks like plastic underneath, just wondering if the dash would lose all of its shape if they were removed. I bet without that the dash would be superlight then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordy07 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Looking good paul,if you remove too much it might sag down though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I'll get a new pair tomorrow! I've got trainers in worse condition. Yep, it looks better in the flesh to be honest and its not really meant to be a show and shine winner, more hardcore race car look and finish to go with the rest of it! that's what I mean, I know it's function over form, but the form still looks pretty good to be fair.

Paul Whiffin Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 Ok, the all in one catch tank & power steering tank is now in place. The rear part of it is the breather tank, all baffled and gated inside and the front part is the power steering tank, again gated & baffled inside. Catch tank has 3 -12 breathers going into it and breathes through the K&N filter on the side of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Why does the breather have 3 -12s, what are they connected too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Whiffin Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 Why does the breather have 3 -12s, what are they connected too? I was waiting for someone to ask that! 2 go to the cam covers and the 3rd to the upper oil pan, I added an extra breather on there last year to help things a little, I dont think anyones done that before on a Supra?

Paul Whiffin Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 Interesting, do you have any pics? Afraid not, it just a case of drilling out the sump and welding on a -12 fitting, got to pick the right spot of course though. I've also got an option of running a return back to the lower sump if the tank gets filled up to quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Whiffin Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 I can do the other type though, that sits on the other side? http://garagewhifbitz.co.uk/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&category_id=2326&product_id=7411&Itemid=53&vmcchk=1&Itemid=53 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkR Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I like that, but it's too close to the turbo for my liking.... (apologies for going off topic). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkR Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Why does that matter, heat doesn't effect it? Not the heat I'm concerned about. More about if something happens and the oil comes out then it can cause a fire. I might still be interested if I put a shield between the turbo and the brake cylinder as that'd keep it pretty separate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what your saying, I can make the tank however you want it made though, doesn't have to be exactly the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Whiffin Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 Finished off relocating battery & alluminium washer tank from the boot to the back seat area. Not a 5 minute job as the wiring all had to be redone, also wired in another relay for the extra fuel pumps I'll be running when the swirl pot goes in tomorrow(hopefully) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 And got my APR GTC300 carbon rear wing all mounted. I've used Max Racing boot mounts as I prefer the look of them, the rest is APR. I've also used shorter pedestals than what comes with the Supra kit to lower the spoiler down a bit. Lets hope it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Not thought of removing the sound deadening Paul? i hear it weighs a fair amount when all bagged up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 And I test fitted the fibreglass doors, fitted perfect, I'll be adding these to my website ASAP. There so light compared to stock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
