they look fairly long and the wastegate flange is like flush with the sump lol
if you get ur engine in before mine lemme know how it goes lol

well, i know its a lil off topic, but you did ask. i went with my gf to her cousins wedding, and this is a pic of us at the reception a lil before we left. you can se the tired in my eyes. lol also, any updates?

 

[suprra_girl]

not really any major updates... assembled my engine bay mostly... waiting on some bits to come back so i can install the engine... and organising the fpr & bov

not much to go hehe

 

[suprra_girl]

"my car has eyes poking out... almost expect them to animate like Herbie LOL"

I was thinking more like packman but herbie can work.

[suprra_girl]

todayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

finally my car is yellow with gold pearl



the pics don't show the true yellow, but i'll get pics with my other camera so you can see it for what it really is but i'm really happy now
still gotta do doors, guards, roof, rear bumper, mirrors, mudflaps & headlight covers and i'm all set woohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

 

[IHI-RHC7]

It looks Great Suze, Keep us informed of dyno results and we need videos!

 

[suprra_girl]

so today i've installed the rear sidemarkers & added carpet and various trims here n there
starting to look like a car again wooohooooooooo

also starting to look like (how was it said...) "that ricer doesn't own it anymore" LOL

will get pics tomorrow

and the gold pearl looks awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[suprra_girl]

so i forgot to mention that i had to rip up all the sound deadening mats under the carpet coz water had gotten trapped under there and i didn't want to risk my floor rusting... so out it all came... and i put all the bits into a box and it weighed in at 8kg the mats i took out were the drivers, passengers front floor and rear floor, i didn't remove under the back seats

i weighed the drivers seat out of curiousity and got 28kg and it's not even the full electric model lol

so ya, tonite hopefully i should have more pics

 

[MK3Brent]

You do know that the WG dump tube will either hit the block, or the frame right?

But I'm sure you'll know what to do.

see ya.

 

[IJ.]

Suze: Ya sure we can't convince ya to come over and prep a couple of Supra's for paint?

Looking great well done!

 

[Joel W.]

nice work suzi, love that intake... and the header :bling:

 

[suprra_girl]

soooooooooooo i've been gone for a while... been busy on the fixing cars front and trying not to have a meltdown trying to do it LOL

well i thought i'd post up a couple of pics, i haven't really done a hell of a lot since but a couple of things

i don't have my sidemarker pics but i'll post em up tomorrow and attempt to get on here a bit more

well here's the latest fitment to my engine anywayz

all completed for me for $130usd
i'll post up real pics in the next few days

i raised the manifold 25mm to clear the fuel rail but what i forgot about was height to the bonnet LOL
so i'm gonna try raising the hinges a little and if that doesn't work i'm gonna put in some vents lol
(or any other suggestions you may have)

hehe nice to be back

p.s. and after 6 months of chasing and doing detective work and realising that i may never get my bomex wing back..............
I GOT IT BACK!!!!! and in one piece.... i'm so happy

 

[Allan_MA70]

(or any other suggestions you may have)

dont cut the bonnet!

 

[IJ.]

Cut a wedge out of the front of the intake to angle the TB down more.....
