supra_ufo Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 You can even see the difference in magnification of the water. My friend you need to go to Specsavers what is the function of that gauge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Mechanical gauges mounted directly on vibrating assemblies are dampened internally, to stop the needle fluttering and the vibrations work hardening the mechanism until it fails. In the past glycerine was used, probably something synthetic nowadays. A secondary purpose is to stop moisture getting in and damaging the fragile mechanism, and to stop condensation occluding the dial glass. Nice build!

Lee P Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 Haven't updated for a while so thought I would try and bring this up to date before we return next week. We stripped and refurbed the diff and installed TRD internals Gearbox has been rebuilt to SRD stage 3 spec and we are using a stock TC now.

Lee P Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 With the ABS being deleted we remade all the front brake lines in Teflon line with stainless steel fittings To keep it neat we fitted a new LHD master cylinder as we did with Jay's car. Engine also dropped in and the start of pipe work being made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee P Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 For the exhaust John wanted it to be a little quieter than he had before We went for the Tanabe Medalion cat back exhaust as it's very good quality and quiet The down pipe and mid pipe that was originally on the car were mild steel and didn't fit very well. We kept the down pipe, modified it to fit and heat wrapped it. We then fitted a blitz stainless steel mid pipe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee P Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 Hypertune TB being assembled, work of art these things We made a custom power tank as unfortunately the hypertune doesn't give you enough clearance to use an NA tank Intercooler pipe work being made up and a new ETS 4" intercooler core fitted New washer bottle mounted in the boot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee P Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 Syvecs ECU and IO expander in We didn't want to put the usual overflow tank on as the bay looks so good. We made a custom one that fits above the intercooler We wanted to make it still accessible so the water level could be checked so we made a custom intercooler plate. This has a hole for the neck to stick through, I think it came out really well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
