jim Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Just stunning, if I'd a 1a1 I'd put reverse face gold lm's on it and then park it somewhere that I'd be able to look at it all day. All would be right with the world well deserved win Westy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L18msy Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Looking good, that Aristo is a cracker though On a serious note, the Scottish Supras have scrubbed up well, glad there was a good turn out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westy Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 Got a message from Dane at Callaway Motorsport saying my custom coloured windscreen banner is ready! Should look great on the car IMO: I've also continued with the polishing of the turbo pipes. One last buff over with the finishing polish should do the trick: Should look good once fitted up with my chromed vac pipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPG Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Great effort with the pipes Mark, it's one thing buying parts to bolt on, it's another working with the parts you have to get a brilliant result. Top job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I used your boot polish technique on my boot blind, which was in a terrible state. Looks like new now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 Callaway Motorsport windscreen decal applied: Car was parked into the grass incase of issues to allow me the chance of getting the other car out. I then started stripping down the turbo side to fit my polished pipes and chromed vac lines. Everything went back together and appeared to be no issues until it got up to temperature and coolant started spewing from the connector pipe between the pump and top elbow...so off to MrT for new O rings and gasket: I also fitted a new inline vac filter for the HKS BOV as the old one had become brittle and had snapped: Once fitted everything ran perfect again, but looked loads better!

supra_ufo Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 love what you done to the intercooler pipes, i want to do the same to mine but not sure where to start? do you have any tips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 Tip would be to buy a spare set...polish them and do the swap over in one day mate. The polishing takes ages!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_ufo Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Tip would be to buy a spare set...polish them and do the swap over in one day mate. The polishing takes ages!!!! Im tempted to buy marcs and have them powder coated now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattP Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Im tempted to buy marcs and have them powder coated now Best way it takes me two minutes to wipe my engine bay clean. I like the polished finish but realistically its not as easy to keep looking good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattP Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Looks good Mr West Although I would say remove the two jubilee clamps you have on the Rad pipe and get some stock Spring Clips the jubilee clamp in an oval shape and are not really suitable the spring clips clamp in a perfect circle. I see they appear to have been on your car from Import and its not your doing but just for piece of mind and a few pence get the proper ones.
