The other car didn't really have enough room, and wasn't fast enough, so now he has a new place, with a little boost!

I just got this car from sponsored1. Chris is a great guy, and huge thanks go out to him for the car and answering tons of questions! He is a serious engine builder, and really likes the 7M. He wants to see the car run as much as I do, and thats a good thing.

When I got the car it was already apart, but all the parts were there.

First thing, chop the cluster for new gauges. I first saw this in trainwrecks car, and it had to be.
I used a heatgun to reshape the black plastic part of the gauge cluster to fit better, where the factory holes are square. It's a tedious process, and the potental for damage is high, but in the end I'm pretty happy with the results.

If you do try this, the metal clips transfer heat to the plastic when they heat up, and that is not good, so watch out for that. I kept the metal holesaw there as a guide. this pic is pretty early on, I didnt get a final one.

I saw here on SM, jimi removed and painted his needles. That is a good idea.

Intercooler time. 28x11.75x3 I made some"custom" brackets. Low budget, but they work. . I was able to make them so they use factory tapped holes in the body. I didnt make the lower mounts yet

how did that work out with the factory tach and speedo. were they affected at all by the other factory gauges not being there?

so, how did the car get outside in the grass? how much does it move around? are you constantly pushing it about for stuff/pics/moving things?

and is it just me or....

do supras look REALLY badass from the rear, especially yours? :D :D

No complaints yet.:) Really it's too soon to tell. I'm not sure if my tach will work at all without the factory ECU. It's on my list of things to figure out.

Blind- It's a real front clip. I use it for a hood to disperse the heat that comes from my Glory Hole. My car is sitting in the middle of my Glass studio.

Figit- Last time I moved it I was getting pics for the SM calendar.

Tomi- thanks.

SS5- You tell em.;)

Scott- It brings back memories, doesn't it?

Miguel- I think that changed like a month ago. No one ever took credit, but I have a guess.
