Brandon's Build

[BrandonW]

im not really sure maybe there was something in the lines? the machine we have at work purges or vacuums the lines and then fills them i even had dye put in if a leak was the problem but its been fine since after tomorrow 5 days, doesnt seem like the quality has gone down at all and its still cold so i don't know

the original compressor is still kickin

 

[BrandonW]

original floor mats are still in my car

i love the sunshade...looks so sick on a white car

 

[empera]

looks better on a maroon car

 

[BrandonW]

Looking good Mr. White! What ended up being the problem with the AC?

umm now there is a problem lol in the form of a leak it was working 100% for about 2 weeks and then nothing since there was dye put in because i originally thought there was a leak i found it with the black light and those glasses the discharge line that comes off the compressor and goes to the condenser is leaking

 

[BrandonW]

got the ac working again got another o ring put in and it seems to be fine it was blowing 38 degrees

 

[BrandonW]

looks like im getting a little leak from my diff

its been looking a little oil soaked around the whole diff area but haven't seen anything on the ground yet but when i was taking it out the garage after it being in there for almost a week i saw a egg sized oil spot and it smelled like diff fluid

gotta get it up on a lift and check it out

 

[BrandonW]

not really sure which route i want to take but i have acquired some mkiv tt wheels and i would like to lower the car a little

so im undecided weather or not to go with a spring and shock set up or go with coilovers

anyone have any experience with these:

Brandon,

I'd highly suggest staying away from Megan Racing. The quality has a lot to be desired. I'd go with Bilstein or Koni for shocks, and either Ground control with custom rates or just Eibach Prokits. Let me know if you want me to get you any of this stuff.

 

[BrandonW]

this is the route im going to go with

tein ss coilovers

[BrandonW]

front brakes!
ebc yellow stuff pads
cleaned up and painted calipers
driftmotion ss brake lines
slotter rotors
rears next!

 

[BrandonW]

rear brakes! didn't go "aggressive" like i did with the fronts to save money but still work well
bosch pads (seem to work well on the 4runner)
cleaned up and painted calipers
driftmotion ss brake lines
these rotors aren't special just coated hats same brand as the fronts just not slotted
bought new ebrake shoes they are metal to metal LOL but i need a hardware kit that i may need to get from the dealer

 

[BrandonW]

spotted my car in some pics from a local meet/charity event

 

[YakuzaKirby]

^^^holy white supras batman! thats an awesome picture! lol

 

[BrandonW]

each section had a color that parked together

 

[ryansmith]

Wish my home country had meets like these! I have only seen two other mk3 supras in person, ever. I like are your carbon fibre components, very tidy

 

[BrandonW]

hey thanks! i only have the cam cover, coil pack cover and windshield cowl

and another meet for all cars that recently took place that was very big, this is the only pic i could find so far that captures most of the cars there
(you can see my car with the hood up toward the bottom middleish right

 

[BrandonW]

philly meet i attended there were more cars but i like this pic

2 things i picked up, at some point i'll be aiming for some more power but coilovers are most likely whats going to be purchased next

and some cool stuff that was found in my house (the paper to the top right has all this japaneese writing with checks over them like some sort of check list) i know the date and miles my car left the lot with
quality is great because its a cell phone pic

 

[BrandonW]
