Pudsey Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Great progress. I bet your made up its back together, and moving under its own steam. Always struggled with the seating position in the supra, and that high feeling with OEM stock Recaros and OEM Recaro frames is terrible. God knows what it's like with a cage in there too. I hope you manage to remedy the situation, as you don't want to spoil the driving experience. Look forward to your collection update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitbox Junkie Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 Will be putting new bride rails in. Thanks for the kind words. Still a lot to go having some many times felling the stress of it, wanting to say nope and sale up it will be worth it once I get the first drive from it. Will be exciting and scary at the same time.

Only reason it's still in as it's a aero and need it for the strength. I'm going to be looking for a low level cross been support or look at making my own and welding it in. Saw one on YouTube walk round video and thought that's awesome. I hope the experience isn't spoilt too. I hope I can film my own reaction when I do get to collect her. - - - Updated - - - Saw this on Thursday, well done for persevering with it. You will definitely love it more this summer Thanks bud. Love your wheels on the black beast. It's going to be an amazing car just get better and better with every little update you do to it.

Hitbox Junkie Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 Pick princess Auroa up from Srd this morning. Didn't crash, got home and thought 2 years this is what it was all for. The smlies and giggles I gave myself driving back were amazing. I put my go pro in and then when I got home I noticed I didn't even record. But the car is a blast. Lee and the guys at Srd and everyone that's worked on the car has made it amazing. Got to get some good run in miles.now then it's off to SRD to get final mapping. Lee has spent a considerable amount of time on the Base map and it feels great even with the rpm limit there's so much power band it's unreal. Can't thank everyone enough. Can't wait to get stuck in with the interim bits that need doing so will post lots of wanted adds up. As and when I find things to sort.
