morgey Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Stop faffing about with the rest of it and get that panel sorted ;) Might spur me to do more to my car if there's another prowling the streets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flynn Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 ^^I hear you man, its long over due!

Just got to find someone i trust before i let them loose on my pride and joy!Expect a few more pointless updates before any real news on when i'll be out stalking my local duel carriageway though!

Flynn Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 The engine bay tidy continues, managed to get some cleaning done and plumb in some more green. Not completely happy with the radiator hoses and i sheered a bolt on the bottom bracket for the rad so that needs a bit of work before giving the system a good flush and refilling with Toyota red!The power steering reservoir had been bodged on a bit during the engine conversion and the hoses were knackered so off that came to be relocated forward in the bay (might look into getting RW Developments to make me one up to match the catch can).I also gave carbon wrapping a crack and had a go at my cooling panel, longterm plans are for a genuine carbon fibre one but for now im pretty pleased with the result!Started heat wrapping the exhaust manifold (on the car again despite vowing never to do it fitted again, dont want to risk developing issues by removing it) fiddly job and looking to be more costly than expected, went through a 15 ft roll of 1" DEI exhaust wrap on only 2 branches of the manifold and have had to order 2 more rolls to finish the job!A few packages turned up this week so test fitted the belts and gauges (oil temp/pressure)Due to a vented n/a bonnet being a ways down on my to-do list and because i think it looks mean..........lil bonnet raise Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Haha well wheels are finally on route..What colour u gunna do them?Arrived!!! Staying white for now....................did have ideas about really hi-viz green and the calipers like a flat traffic grey but money dictates that they stay as is for now!Got some tyres ordered up for them (fitting them christmas eve!) Yokohama advan sports, wanted Prada specs but got these for the same price as they were out of stock! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fordie_glanzaV Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Whites nice just bitch to keep clean.. Have to upload pics when u get them on mate. Glad u got them alright Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flynn Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 Got the rest of the manifold wrapped at last and every things pretty much plumbed back in. Also fitted the horns for a touch of jdm!Had a bit of time out of work so decided to try and mesh my bumper (opted for the round style, not 100% why but i had it in my head and im happy enough with it for the time being!) Started off attacking the slats with a Dremel and then using wire body mesh and filler to smooth things out, still needing a bit more work before paint.The mesh was a nightmare, cut it to size and sprayed it up in met black.Tiger sealed it all into the bumper, again though still needs tweeking!Bumper had also previously been cracked slightly and fitted with screw on spots so these got sanded/filled while i was at it........im not gonna lie i've sunk a fair bit of time into this bastard!Just to eliminate any confusion........the numberplates off the old (dead) SR not made up if i'll stick with the beaver teeth or change back to uk spec.Removed the TTE splitter while im pissing about with the bumper, just incase!Last little update...........couple of these turned up!

Flynn Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 Whey! My engine bay made the facebook page..................could be more finished but bit of a surprise! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dan106 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Mmm rota's! Test fitted any yet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flynn Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 Tyres aren't getting fitted till Christmas Eve but I reckon I'll sling them on over the weekend see how they're gonna work with the speedies up back! The Rota's will get swapped up for some Ray's eventually! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aamir Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 (edited) I reckon Speedlines up front with the Rota on the back? Stick some 25mm spacers on the front and should look decent Edited December 20, 2013 by Aamir Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flynn Posted December 21, 2013 Author Share Posted December 21, 2013 Already running spacers front and back, im hoping the grids will fill the cruise wings a bit better and help with the stance up front! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
