Kendo11 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Cheers mate. At this stage I'm not actually, I'm liking the orange against the blue and think it gives the car more of a US look. I want to add the US side repeaters at some point. Know what you mean mate, the side repeaters will really suit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 So after looking at the vac lines, I want some piece of mind that they are all fresh once I fit the new turbo pipes. So I have ordered - 2 meter of 4mm gates line - 1 meter of 5mm gates line - 2 meter of 6mm gates line - 1 meter of 8mm gates line According to the vac line thread this should be more than enough to cover everything needed. And I also ordered two turbo water lines from Toyota, due to a member noticeing at Basingstoke meet one of them is showing its ages, and on closer inspection it's very soft to the touch. -16284 16284-46020 -16285 16284-46020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 So a pretty boring update but still an update. Have fitted my new VSV today but for now as I was working in the garage I have kept it in TTC for now. Will swap it back over later this week. And have started to check out the work involved in swapping the turbo pipes over, and as long as I can remember the vac lines, it looks simple other than the rear bolts to the back turbo. So I MAY do the job tuesday/wednesday ready for Japday this weekend coming. But before I do anything like that I need to chase my turbo water pipes from Steve manley as I didn't hear from him last week, so will be following it up tomorrow first thing as I don't fancy doing the trip to castle combe without swapping them for new.

ripped_fear Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 So not a huge amount to report, japday was yesterday and had a great time. Awesome weather and caught up with some members. Car seemed to be well received and when passing our stands on multiple occasions the car always had a few people around it. Still running in TTC and it sounds epic but VERY drony on the motorway so will be switching it back. Was going to attempt the turbo pipes today but been knackered so tomorrow I may get started as everything is ready to be fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 Not much to report, but got an early drive in today as it was dry to check for vac/water leaks since doing the turbo pipes all went well and shes running perfect Started swapping some of the OEM vac lines over for the New Gates stuff I bought and some new coolant pipes I ordered from Mr T have arrived. Will be doing them all on my next day off all being well. Going to also finally plump my Boost gauge in. Here is a pick of the pipes in day light and also some pictures I have been tagged in from a photographer at the last show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yesterday I decided to do some work on the car again, this time just give it a good clean, got as far as polishing and then some cow decided to ruin my day by damaging my daily :/ So need less to say I had to stop all work and leave it there. Here some pictures of the car anyway after is polish, and one of the aftermath of a incompetent landrover driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 So I took the Supra to work today for the first time in months, and as it was such a nice day I decided to just go for a drive after work. I had no reason, and went a route I had no idea where I was going. It was by far the best drive I have had in it since I bought it. Roads where empty, and the tarmac was fresh, perfect end to the evening. With all the shows, and being caught up in the 'build' I forgot the main reason I own it.....to drive it! So easy to forget the reason of owning a car like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
