Paul Whiffin Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 Not thought of removing the sound deadening Paul? i hear it weighs a fair amount when all bagged up. Not for the moment mate, probably will end up doing it though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Not for the moment mate, probably will end up doing it though! The dead of winter is the best time to attack that job. I got most of mine off with a couple of smacks from a soft hammer, it just comes away from the chassis complete. If you can't wait til then I'd find a really big freezer!

SteveL Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I chipped all mine out in Jan, only weighed about 1.5kg though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkR Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 That looks awesome Paul! I guess the doors are only for track use though as there are no impact bars? (or a street car with a cage) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlT67 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Looking good,lovely installation of all the parts. I have noticed also that you have removed your diffuser, is it going back on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bamboo rocket Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 (edited) Thanks, no I've removed it, cant see it actually doing anything worthwhile. I like it (diffuser) - how much?

Paul Whiffin Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 OK, managed to get the fuel system in yesterday/today, thanks to Dazza as he did most of it! Consists of swirl pot and 2 extra pumps to feed the engine along with the 2 pumps I had in my fuel tank already. Nice pumps these Walbro externals, very quiet unlike Bosch 044's! Shouldn't have any problems with fuel starvation now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Whiffin Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 Ok, finally got my AP's on. Had a nightmare with the supplier making them correctly, I wont go into it all as it'll piss me off again! But anyway, they are all on and look the business. The kit consists of AP Pro 5000+ 6 pot race calipers with 362mm floating discs on the front and 4 pot 335mm on the rear, Porterfield R4 race pads front and rear along with Goodridge braided lines. I'll be adding these to my website very soon, if you want to buy the ultimate brake kit for the Supra then this is it. The kit will also be available with the road spec calipers to if so required.

pete_TT Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Wow wish i could afford a set of them. Any idea when my suspension components will arrive Paul? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Wow Paul ... those brakes look very nice why did you go for Portefield pads and not for Performance friction like you had on the Stoptech's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Wow wish i could afford a set of them. Any idea when my suspension components will arrive Paul? Yesterday. Just got to get the front lower arms which "should" be tomorrow morning. I'll bell you when there in. Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Wow Paul ... those brakes look very nice why did you go for Portefield pads and not for Performance friction like you had on the Stoptech's? I tried the PF out last year as everyone raves about them but I had problems elsewhere on the braking system so never really tried them properly. I've been using the Porterfield pads for many years now so thought I'd stick to what I know for the moment, there's another brand I want to try out as well, I'll see how the Porterfields work first though.
