ripped_fear Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 looks nice dude, I do find it strange though that all the shineauto diffusers seem to sit differently on different supras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 Looks nice that. Where you get your diffuser? You also have blades in the middle, did they come with it? It's one of the Project Shine diffusers that Paul Whiffin does. The central divider is an extra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsween Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 You can make brackets that hang the diffuser from the side, that makes it much easier to hang it lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 looks nice dude, I do find it strange though that all the shineauto diffusers seem to sit differently on different supras. Maybe it's all down to how they are installed. I got Darren to set mine so there were no gaps at the side. I guess you could have it lower at the sides. I think you might also be able to play around a little with how far back it sits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Nice work although i cant help but think the bumper looks a bit odd with the hole and no exhaust, not a fan of the side exit exhausts tbh, they cant be good for flow, Supras need a big fat exhaust coming out the back.

sideexitsupra Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 As you know JP, it's nice to be different. Am keeping the hole in the bumper as I may change back at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted May 5, 2012 Author Share Posted May 5, 2012 (edited) Finally got the cage finished today. Big thanks to MLife for his assistance. Would have been much easier if the new stainless bolts hadn't been crap! Thanks eBay! Anyway a few piccies below from near the end. http://img.tapatalk.com/d989b314-8368-a7c0.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d989b314-8377-8309.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d989b314-8384-a1bd.jpg It's not branded but is Cusco style.

Paul Whiffin Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 It's starting to take shape now matey, the track is calling you. Just need some decent brakes and your there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted May 5, 2012 Author Share Posted May 5, 2012 Thanks Paul. Went for a spin with Martin after we fitted the cage and have the brakes a bit of abuse. They were actually pretty good with those Porterfield pads. Might just do a track day or two whilst I save for an upgrade! Clutch only played up once right at the beginning too. Maybe getting the fluid above the minimum has sorted it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sideexitsupra Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) Thanks Guys. Definately a hydraulic issue with the clutch though now. Put the padding on the cage and went for another blast. At low speed (manoeuvring) the pedal has a tendency to go to the floor and stay there. Also it feels a bit spongy. All fine in normal driving. Edit Replaced both master and slave cylinders to solve this problem. Added whifbitz braided clutch pipe at the same time. All good now Edited July 20, 2012 by sideexitsupra (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Have probably missed it but where did the cage come from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 Came out of AlexM car. Got it last Autumn but only got round to fitting now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Thanks Paul. Went for a spin with Martin after we fitted the cage and have the brakes a bit of abuse. They were actually pretty good with those Porterfield pads. Might just do a track day or two whilst I save for an upgrade! Clutch only played up once right at the beginning too. Maybe getting the fluid above the minimum has sorted it? They wont fade with the Porterfield race pads, I used to use Jap spec brakes with these pads on the track, no problem. Apart from not having a the confidence you get with the big brakes that is. Definately worth a go though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 Right, finished a few more bits and bobs. Cut the rear trim panels to fit around the cage, fitted carbon rear and carbon effect front braces and also fitted a brake stopper. Panels need a bit of finishing but will do for now. Also finished all the roll cage padding. With all the clutch hydraulics swapped earlier in the week it's time now to enjoy it for a bit before doing any more. Except getting the rear arches rolled.

Paul Whiffin Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Very nice Tim, you need that front splitter to go with it now....Stick those Rota's on as well, I reckon that'll go with the wing better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 Yes you are right. Needs a damn good clean and I'll get the wheels swapped this weekend. You know what to do about the splitter! As we discussed yesterday ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
