Kylefoto is jumping on the bandwagon, build thread!

So.
We looked at my wastegate today,
and there's no shims on it?
wtfffffffffff?
How the hell am I boosting to 12, let alone 15!!!!!

Anyways,
pictures like 3 days later.

Maybe your wastegate actuator is broken?

DING DING DING!

Normal! (Kind of. This is the broken one.)

Balloon! Not normal. Kind of explains why it was boosting so freely, basically didn't have a wastegate. hahaha.

We got a little carried away and it was a really loud pop and scared us. OH WELLZZZZZZZ.


Anyways.
We put on a low mileage JDM tyte one. Andddddd shimmed it. and I think it's too much. Hopefully that was the problem though, because I'm still hitting fuel cut. It was extremely cold out though and like I said, we shimmed it. gunna have to check it out tomorrow.
We'll be putting in the gauge cluster and I'll finally change my oil haha.

Shitty day today.
They're in.
and my speedo is only working.
And my boost and temp of course, but that's separate.
It looks like crap right now.
and my boost and temp don't have light.
I'm pissed off. Girlfriend is with her stupid friends and I'm off tonight and have nothing to do. I might go out and change my oil in a few.
Pictures soon.

And something to add,
No more fuel cut, took off the washers,
and I forgot to add last night that my passenger side front shock is leaking I think is what Eddie said. RAD!

ninja edit:
I also noticed when we finally got everything in, that the dimmer switch wasn't connected and my old gauges probably still worked.
COOL!

Man, I wish you were closer, I probably have the strut that you need, headed for the trash.:nono:
It looks like you got a little more to do on the gauges. :icon_bigg

Blah!
It's an aftermarket strut though. I forget the brand.
Yeah, just a little. I'm going to have to pull them back out whether I like it or not.

 

[kwnate]

Pull those gauges out and make it cleaner and make sure your tems lights are back where they're supposed to be. Why didn't you just get a pillar pod?

 

[jimi87-t]

Hey man props for trying! Don't give up on it, it will look better if you get some ABS plastic to go behind the gauges.

I appreciate it man.
I like getting positive criticism.

The latest:
Alternator took a shit on me yesterday, and I was lucky enough to have Dave so close to my work and have so many god damn cars he can drive, that he is letting me borrow the alternator off his burgandy 89.
Oh and it's snowing here again.
WTF!

 

[johnathan1]

Lol...Typical supra behavior...

SRSLLYYYYYYY

 

[Jaguar_5]

At least it's an easy fix!

Oh, btw, screw you guys for calling that supra behavior, more like typical old car syndrome

And seriously, wtf is up with the snow? Outta nowhere!

 

[kylefoto]

HEY LOOK
OLD PICTURES OF MY POOPRA!
2 owners back.
Craziness.






Uhmmm.
Still waiting on my hood cable.
My top bolt on my thermostat housing broke,
New alternator is in.
I want more boost.
And new paint.
I dunno what else.
More pictures soon.

 

[americanjebus]

Haha.
Well, Eddie, (suprona on here, he's commented like once or twice in my thread) doesn't have any pictures of it before him and his uncle fixed it, but he said the tail light was pretty much all the way smashed into the hatch.

 

[kylefoto]

Uhm.
I've decided when I repaint, I'm painting it back to white, the way it should be.
Super white to be exact.
It's going to be hot.
I've also decided that I love driving when it's wet out, getting loose and having people stare at me as I drift around a corner.
Picture of how dirty my car is in a few minutes.
