stevegti2 Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 (edited) I finally had a quiet week and managed to get a few bits done on the Supra. Starting with the timing belt tensioners and crankshaft pulley. Who ever did this prior to me was very special The crankshaft pulley bolt was hand tight ! and one of the hydraulic tensioner bolts was not all the way in just so happened to be the one you need to remove the alternator to get at properly. [sHOCK][/sHOCK] To add to that someone had used some 6" bolts in a locking tool once upon a time and took two chunks out the timing belt guide washer. A quick trip to Toyota and i got it all reassembled. Then for the snazzy part fitting my Recaros that have been sitting in my garage over a year [GRIN][/GRIN] i made some rails to house the original buckles and bolt onto the Recaro sliders which bolt onto the base of most Recaro seats. I really like the red on the black i even gave the old girl a quick wash was fairly dirty being off road for 7 months Next week she will get a M.O.T and hopefully book in for a dyno run to check the afrs geo and corner weighting out of curiosity Edited March 5, 2017 by stevegti2 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attero Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Just want to point out that I never did any jobs on this car (all garage work). haha. But of course this could have been the case after my ownership. That all sounds a bit mad! This is awesome to see her being refreshed though. Keep up the good work.

stevegti2 Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 lol ! well your safe then. I have a vibration with revs still so its either engine mounts or clutch/flywheel out of balance but i think its most likely the mounts. cars getting corner weighted at balance motorsport in 2 weeks ish when he is free and going to dyno it same sort of time out of curiosity.

stevegti2 Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 So i went down to Balance Motorsport today and met Julian nice bloke we weighed the car and with no adjustments its not too bad at all total weight was 1397kg 1/3 tank of fuel. For a still mostly stock car only weight reduction is the seats exhausts set up and air con remova.l Brakes are bigger suspension is similar wheels are light but big so probably similar to stock also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
