SirGeorgee's Red Beast MKIII

[sirgeorgee]

Quick update

I had problems with the front wheels again
When I turned the front wheel totally out in one direction and tried to move I heard ticking noise and it was like steel scratches steel...
We found the problem ,ordered the part and installed--problem solved

Also wished to change all brake pads around-It turned out really bad -we had to face many problems again (did not calculate with these )-but finally we solved everything and she can stop now again

I will update with all the pictures later

thanks for watching and stay tuned for the pictures....

How did you solve the ticking/scratching sound when you turned the front wheels?

 

[sirgeorgee]

Hi all
Update time

Erazer-the problem was behind the front wheels
At the lower section there is a bolt which supposed to have a small cover on it...All Supras I1ve seen misses the cover -so the bolt scratches really badly when the front wheels are turned till end in any direction(pictures coming)

So I ordered these small covers and they arrived -they were very cheap ,and trust me guys it is well worthed (costs 2 USD each)

[/URL][/IMG]

So we put these little covers on...
On this picture you can see how badly it scratches when it is missing

[/URL][/IMG]

We also removed the old ones -at least what was left of them-check this

[/URL][/IMG]

After that we started the work with my brakes and it was a disaster
The front brake cylinders were stucked ,on the right side we could repair it but on the left it was not repairable...

[/URL][/IMG]

She found some friends at my buddy's shop

[/URL][/IMG]

On the right hand side you can see their proud real beast -when this one will be ready...Their goal is over 1000 HP...(no comment-it will be only a show car)

To be continued...

 

[sirgeorgee]

So brake time...

We put Ferrodo racing brake pads in the front

[/URL][/IMG]

On the right side we could repair the stucked brake cylinder

[/URL][/IMG]

[/URL][/IMG]

On the front left,mine was so fucked up ,we had to get a new one...There was no option so it is red :nono:

[/URL][/IMG]

Installed

[/URL][/IMG]

On the back I had a great deal on these- they are the best -I can advice them to you all

[/URL][/IMG]

Installing the back brake pads

[/URL][/IMG]

They are so sweet...

[/URL][/IMG]

Just rest a bit sweetheart

[/URL][/IMG]

MOTUL brake fluid going in

[/URL][/IMG]

And that was the end of that day

Stay tuned and check back what we did next

:naughty:

 

[sirgeorgee]

So guys long story short - I had to move

Rented a flat on the top of a hill
After coming up and down 12 times daily I felt she is a bit hot
My temperature didn't go up.She didn't show any failure-but I felt it
I had to do something to let her move cooler
So we found a nice little upgrade
I had the 7 blade fan in ,but we checked and the automatic Supras had a 10 blade fan-I got really lucky and found a perfect piece
Check this out

Other side of this masterpiece

[/URL][/IMG]

So we moved the old one out-it was a pain in the ass cause I have the only Supra in Hungary which has the undercover piece (just bought it and installed earlier-I wanted it ) :biglaugh:

[/URL][/IMG]

Old one and the new one -I feel a big difference here don't you think

[/URL][/IMG]

We throw the new one in

[/URL][/IMG]

It made so much air after start up -almost blow my head off :naughty:

Next step
I want nicer and bigger rims
I had a few options,but first I had to buy different nuts to be able to try them on

[/URL][/IMG]

I had this option - ENKEI's from a Mitsubishi 3000 GT

[/URL][/IMG]

I didn't like them-they look much better on an MK IV
My buddy found some rims from a 1991 Mitsubishi 3000 GT and I fell in love

[/URL][/IMG]

These will look amazing on the Supra after some work

[/URL][/IMG]

I will buy a set of these (cheap) repair them and paint them (expensive ) ,throw some new tires up (my monthly salary) and after that we can work on my KONI's -they have to go back in

What color would you guys advice for the rims...I really welcome any ideas

After this I just checked my radiator cap-I had a bad feeling -and I was right again (I hate this)
It was a disaster so I had to buy a new one

[/URL][/IMG]

And lets put this on

[/URL][/IMG]

Thats all for now folks

I will highly appriciate if you could help me what colour would be the best for my new rims
I have the following options

Red
Black
Gold

And as I wrote down these words WHITE just popped up-I think white would look really great-pearl white

So what do you guys think

I am open for any comments

Thanks in advance

 

[closetnerd]

I don't know about red, may be a bit too much. Black or gold would be my vote.

 

[sirgeorgee]

Thanks closetnerd

Now I am thinking going Gold or Silver Metallic...

 

[SURUKO]

Great car and progress my friend keep up the good work

Ps Silver Metallic x2

 

[Heavy D]

never seen this before but i love the work you put into it, and has come a very long way, keep up the good work

 

[sirgeorgee]

I think i will go with Silver Metallic -they will be just great

Now I have to upgrade my KONI's after that they will go back and later on she will get her new rims and tires also

So stay tuned Folks and thanks for watching

 

[honestabe]

Very nice! Keep up the hard work. I know it can be a real bitch, but it's worth it.

 

[sirgeorgee]

Sad update again

My clutch will die on me soon...

Driving in 2nd gear I heard a loud scrathing noise -she did it twice -i changed to third sound gone -seems okay BUT
She did it yesterday again (3rd time) this time the rpm went up from 2000 to 3500-so it will be the clutch -i am sure now

We have to change clutch disk ASAP-on this weekend my friend will try to find me a used one in good condition-fingers crossed...

If we have one we can change it soonest on Tuesday

I will try to take pictures and upload

Stay tuned

 

[sirgeorgee]

Hi all

We are fixing the clutch today

I wanted to buy a new clutch disk but unfortunately we didn't have any available here :nono:

So now we will try to put in a used one which is in really good condition -if it wont hold we have to work on it a bit

Work already started at my friends workshop
I have to work so i cant be there but i will go to pick it up today after work

Try to take some pictures also

Stay tuned I will update and let you know how it turned out

Fingers crossed :aigo:

 

[sirgeorgee]

Let me share some good news guys

Yesterday the used clutch disk didn't hold -a brand new factory AISIN clutch disk popped up suddenly on a really good price so I bought it quick and put it in

She is now stronger than ever pulls hard all my gear stucking problems dissappeared-she acts like I got a new car...

I am very happy how it turned out but I am sure someone is watching us from above and helps out in every situation when we stuck-so thanks a lot

I took some pictures -my old shitty clutch disk - i will upload them on the weekend

Now I will just enjoy my new Supra and spare and rest a bit

Next month we are going ----suspension upgrade

So stay tuned folks

 

[honestabe]

That's very very good news. Good to hear you got her back on the road and fixed the problem.

 

[sirgeorgee]

Hi all

I promised some pictures so here they come
My old clutch disk(poor guy)

After the change everything was ok so she returned to her new home

And guess what happened after 2 days of enjoying to be on the roads again...
My clutch master cylinder died on me
Here she is

No parts are available here now so I have to order from abroad :aigo:
One question?
Do I know that right that if I change the clutch master cylinder I have to change the slave also?

All answers welcome...

 

[sirgeorgee]

Small update
Cluth master cylinder and slave cylinder ordered from ebay (coming from the states we dont have anything in this poor country)
Custom made stainless steel clutch lines are getting ready
Hope the package will arrive soon ...
She can be back on the road next week (soonest) -Fingers crossed

 

[sirgeorgee]

Hi all
Long time no update so here we go
We changed both cylinders and the clutch pedal still stays down...
There is a small spring at the back of our clutch pedal and it has broken...We have to change it.
The fuel pump is also dying on me...I am bit broke so after all these years she might have to go...:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

 

[sirgeorgee]
