rob_sri Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) It was I bloody miss it!! Hopefully do something similar next year.. got the winter to pull the supra apart and get it all ship shape Brakes are all fitted.. going to have a go at bleeding then tomorrow and can give them a good test! For comparison Started making up a little heat shield today as it was one of the things that Garage-D picked up on when it was there that there is currently no protection.. it's a bit rough round the edges but I'm going to polish it up and use a dremel to finish the edges and hopefully won't look too bad.. might bin it yet.. we'll see.. Failing that It will be back to the drawing board and il keep searching for something I can buy or get one properly fabricated I'm going to be updating the vacuum line too with some braided ptfe stuff and some heat shielding tape to hopefully avoid a repeat of this Edited November 3, 2016 by rob_sri (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_sri Posted November 19, 2016 Author Share Posted November 19, 2016 Took my heat sheild back off to fit some braided lines .. I have some DEI heatsheathing for the oil feed and vac lines too which I will get on soon Should be a lot better and car now runs beautifully Took the old fuel tank cover off which was a bit rusty.. only thing that lets the car down underneath really as there is no rust that I can see on my the car bar this bit.. I rang Steve Manley for a price on a new one and was initially quoted over £300!! After almost dropping dead I decided to get it stripped, blasted and coated!

Stevo Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Nice work Rob - should make a big difference on the brakes. How much was the rebuild kit if you don't mind saying here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_sri Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 Hopefully! My JSpecs were a bit tired too so the difference should be night and day! Il let you know when I get round to bleeding them and giving them a good road test £78.90 delivered from ICP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob_sri Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) More winter upgrades mocal oil cooler, oil sandwich plate Oil breather, lines and fittings Will be fitted down here when I've managed to make up brackets and re tap my cam covers, obviously lines are going to be a lot shorter just mocking up Unfortunately I had my cam covers tapped and the company who did it decided to acid dip them and ruined them.. obviously reacted with the magnesium so going to have to re tap another set of covers but you can see what I'm gonna do! And also arrived today was an SRD expansion tank.. Just got to fit all these bits now!! Shame the weather is so horrible and cold!
