Project Clean 87

[Skyzo]

Been goin' through this thread now. Mostly looking at pictures and text around them since I'm too tired to see what everybody have been writing. :sarcasm:

I've to say that you've been doin' a pretty good job mate. One thing that doesn't get to me on your Supra are the head-lights. I somehow love the pop-ups more. But this isn't about how I want your Supra to be, it's about how you want it and as long as you're happy with your Supra then that's all what matters. :icon_bigg

Good job, I'll be keepin' my eye on this thread. :bigthumb:

Thanks bro, some love the flushmounts others hate them. It's ok, I love them.

Haha, yeah. I guess it's some kind of a love/hate thing. :biglaugh:
But like I said, as long as you like them then that's all what matters. :icon_bigg

Yeah I just can't get past those lights .

Just ordered new exhuast studs, valve cover bolts, 46mm wastegate, 50mm BOV (polished aluminum), 4" K&N air filter, and white 2" X 100' header wrap. Still have a couple more things to order, but I pretty much have everything ordered that I need.

Header wrap got here, still waiting on my pile of parts from Driftmotion since the shop that's modifying the manifolds is behind schedule.

 

[honestabe]

Got 4 boxes of parts today. The list includes replacement crank pulley/dampener, belt tensioner, modified Driftmotion T4 twin scroll manifold, 46mm wastegate, 50mm polished BOV, heat shielding gasket, exhaust studs, valve cover bolts (to replace the phillips style screws), down pipe, wastegate dump tube, intake pipe, 4" K&N air filter, and a few gaskets. Got pretty much everything I need now to install my single. Gotta get my ass to work during the break!




Damaged during shipping


More non-broken parts

Got a bunch of cleaning done today along with a little spray painting. I removed 3 10mm bolts that were useless and scraped/wiped off a ton of dirt and grease and grime. I also got my valve cover bolts from Driftmotion installed, man they look 10x better than the damn phillips head screws that were in there and much better too. And I got the 2 remaining exhaust manifold studs removed from the head too .Since I forgot to do it today, tomorrow I'll straighten my motor mount.

What do you need to do the conversion kit on the tail lights?

 

[SURUKO]

Do you mean what do you need to convert the tail lights from pre-89 to 89+? If so a simple search in the MKIII General section will answer that. Simply put, drill 2 holes.

Thanks bro, I appreciate it.

 

[integra08]

Ok..i though there might be a wiring upgrade also

You don't need to drill any holes!

 

[honestabe]

2 of my buddy's told me you have to drill two holes in the back for the rear pieces, 1 for each piece.

Got my hood struts and shock tower rings installed, the exhaust studs installed, manifold wrapped, radiator removed, all wiper arms and the cowl repainted gloss black, and the motor mount adjusted and tightened. Now I just need help figuring out what goes where.

 

[honestabe]

Decided to work on dropping a few pounds off the car and clean up the engine bay some more, so I removed about 12 feet of 00 gauge wire that was my ground. Gonna ground it to the right rear strut tower versus the front left strut tower.

The water heater normally is mounted/installed in the garage, or in an inside closet that has been plumbed for it.
Glad I could be of help to you!

Not outside if it gets below freezing!

ROFL, very funny Tom

Got the downpipe wrapped today and painted both the manifold and the DP with DEI high temp silicone spray. Gonna put on another coat tomorrow after I drop off my radiator and intercooler pipe at the welders to get some stuff done (fix the radiator neck and weld on the piece for the BOV).
