Remove all traces of viton with acetone and a brush. Coat with copper seal and let stand 45 mins to tack up, re spray once more before install and make sure that gasket falls directly into place with out moving around for fitment. All this can be done provided you didn't ruin either of the sealing surfaces. I have a lapping stone you can borrow for your block and head if need be. The honing should have been done at the machine shop, did your uncle not make you aware of this?

Haha I know I'm just messin around with IJ.

Yes it is a brand new Titan MHG

If there is any of the coating coming off, you'll have to scrap it, if there is not, I would reuse it like it is, but I like taking some risks.

Brand new MHG - never been run. Tell me, what are the odds the viton will separate from the metal layers?
I have a novel idea - take the head off and take a look. The cylinders must be honed anyway and it just might be a good idea to assemble the engine in the correct sequence with the correct size bearings. I can tell you with 100% accuracy what will happen if you skip a step or take short cuts and it won't be pretty.

Ummm...yeah, ok, right.

Oh, and I will be assembling it the right way now. I realize that I fucked up ok? We all make mistakes once and a while.

 

[upgradedsupra]

Good job Brent.

I made a mistake once, then realized that my mistake was that I wasn't mistaken in the first place. :rofl:

Duane

Fans

Duane's old passenger seat (one more coming soon :naughty

And some pictures of the car itself the way it sits right now. It's dirty and covered in primer :nono:
You can see my tinted tails in this picture

Unfortunately my hood has been used as a work bench lately for all the small parts :3d_frown:

Thats all for now folks

 

[upgradedsupra]

Good job in doing this yourself bud, it is a lot of work.

Duane

 

[arizzle]

looking good dude! cant wait to see this thing at mission!

 

[slightly_red_MA70]

Thanks guys!

I'm soo excited to get this running. I'm hoping to have all the parts next week and have it mostly together by next weekend.

And since I was told that red is the most expencive paint to buy I've decided between 2 colors...

Flat Black with a Clear Coat is my first choice

And my second choice is to go the cheap way and buy the "Duplicolor Paint Shop" - "Performance Red" color and just spray it with that....But I really want the flat black...

 

[LAYZORBEEMZ]

The dupicolor gloss black worked out pretty good with my car, plus if you paint your car black and were at a meet I'm sure we'll mistake which car is which aside from the interior color since I am also now spoilerless

But I have no emblem on the front and I'll have a Recaro racing seat and cage in mine ;-)

 

[upgradedsupra]

Recaro race seat? Damn, must be nice!

 

[slightly_red_MA70]

[slightly_red_MA70]

Pics as promised :icon_razz

Did some interior work(put everything back in). Heres the turbo timer

Comparison between my 60 trim and completely stock CT-26

Battery relocation started(just waiting on battery box), and pic of the switch.

Got my fuel tank back in and started the 12v relay mod

One of my new goodies :icon_bigg

Yes its analog...i wanted to be different and not have the same wideband as everyone out there lol

And the best goody of all :biglaugh: anyone recognize it???

Let's just say it's a matching pair with the other seat that I have :icon_razz

Hoping to get the rest of my parts(clutch, flywheel, and random small hoses) in by this weekend :biglaugh:

 

[upgradedsupra]

Doing things your way is a plus, the analog is different and it is most important that you like it. This is what makes us Supra enthusiasts unique; we all like different things.

I recognize that you need to do laundry. Nice seat too.
