JamieP Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Oh, and you are going to need the nur carbon rear arches and some fat wheels if you want to stand a chance of getting 900bhp down:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I already got the profi spgs, old old cat bed they'll still be heavier than these, although I suspect when you look at the price of the Reverie seats, they won't be great value for money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 And why 900hp jay. Is that because 1000hp is rediculous lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 Looks like the diets going well Jay. Would you get a wet carbon finish or dry and have parts sprayed black. Everything will be going black, hopefully you will never know there is any carbon on the car. The only unknown at the moment is the hood, it will need 4 hood pins which spoiler the stock look, and it's of the Top Secret style, but I'm hoping when painted it will not detract from the stock look I'm going for, pics to follow 1300kg and 900bhp will be fast, looking forward to the next thread where you go for the power, glad to see you still have the supra love mate. I never lost it really bud, just misplaced Oh, and you are going to need the nur carbon rear arches and some fat wheels if you want to stand a chance of getting 900bhp down:D Dunno what to do regarding traction at the mo, my current plan is to replace the 18x10 RZs 295/30/18 D03Gs with 17x11 RZs 315/35/17 R888s. It gives me more width & sidewall, the wheels will obviously need banding as 9.5 is the max in 17" they'll still be heavier than these, although I suspect when you look at the price of the Reverie seats, they won't be great value for money That's the thing with weight reduction, you need good £/kg And why 900hp jay. Is that because 1000hp is rediculous lol. I dunno really, it all depends on whether I just upgrade my setup & run a 76mm, or go all out 3.4l with 76+mm. Will decide when the time comes, for now all I'm concerned with is getting the weight down safely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 Some pics of the 7lb Modellista Designs hood I'm hoping to get. It needs work to fit it, but will give me the lightest possible front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Yeah , I figured the money I was going to waste on a luxury barge could be better spent on a 3.4l 76+mm setup Great to hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted September 25, 2010 Author Share Posted September 25, 2010 Yip, it is totally raw, needs a bit of work to fit but should net me the lightest front I can get, here's the SF for sale thread link http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=536021&highlight=7lb+hood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted September 25, 2010 Author Share Posted September 25, 2010 I did a quick photoshop to see what the car is going to look like with it on, also removed the Tial BOV which sits in the passenger vent which I will be getting done too: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
