Matt H Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I can put it up if you would like, but you have to remember auto dynos are _always_ best done on speed as RPM really doesn't make sense for them. If you put a 6 spd in, things would change dramatically because I have a 3500 rpm converter, so you dont load the motor until past that Yes please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdMorris Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Very cool on the suspension lift. Does it work in motion or do you have to be at a stand/parking brake on, like most soft tops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inferno Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 Very cool on the suspension lift. Does it work in motion or do you have to be at a stand/parking brake on, like most soft tops? It can be raised while in motion which makes it a lot quicker for things like speed bumps!

Inferno Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 At this stage, the car was ready to go back to the bodyshop to have the finishing touches (fenders, bumpers, hood etc painted, any required touch-ups): The fitment of the "kit" was perfected by the bodyshop, with an amazing amount of attention to detail ensuring perfect lines: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I think the only things I don't like are the rear lights. Otherwise it looks good! That's just personal preference though! I think as well that if it was my build and I was doing everything totally brand new, I'd either have went completely OEM, OEM+ (OEM skirts and spats, active lip etc., UK scoop etc.) or full TRD 3000GT. That would seem unreal to me as it'd be a Supra as intended but brand new! Though, this is why it's great that there are variations in opinions and desires and it's what keeps it interesting. Hope you get it finished soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inferno Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 Time to go back to the bodyshop to get the remainder of the parts prepped and painted: The front fenders, ensuring the Top Secret Hood and hood struts fitment was perfect: Putting it all together, the lines were looking spot on: The mouth of the bumper nicely filled up with the FMIC: Perfect lines... notice one of the tranny coolers through the side vent: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SUPRMCY Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I spent two full evenings going through this entire thread. This is an amazing build mate! The best looking supra I've ever seen. You truly are an inspiration. My next project will look like this but with milder expenses... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inferno Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 The boys at the bodyshop prepped the hood, fenders and bumpers, ready to paint: Let the painting begin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tee from China Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Hi, I have but 3 small questions for you 1. Why is the speedo reading 300kph even though not installed/running? 2. Will the ProEFI CAN gauge only work with the ProEFI ECU? 3. Why are there two dash panels(o/s) is one an old and t'other new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inferno Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 The hood in all of its glory: Freshly painted bumper (note the reinforcements added where the indicators go): The clear headlights to go in: Front fenders prepped and painted: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inferno Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 Front bumper (note the reinforcements added in various places): Brand new windscreen from Toyota: New mirrors looking lovely! The interior was starting to look really nice, colour co-ordinatesd! Brand new rear windscreen from Toyota: I wanted to go with deep black painted grills in the front fenders as I never really liked the look of silver grills on a black car: Getting closer!

Rob_Mitchell Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 yeah black grills are way nicer in my opinion, silver grills look cheap. looking stunning mate..... speechless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
