The story of my Supra....My 2JZA70 supra!

[SupraClaou]

Hey.............. SOMEBODY called me???

LOL!

I am here guys,I am here...not going anywhere.
I will update some stuff I did,small ones though.

The car will get on hold for some time. I sold the GT72mm and going for a new toy!
Next will be a better clutch...and last a nice tune by the best in Europe on Supras!

Greece austerity measures?

Did hit me bad you know...my income was cut,and I lost one of my jobs :-(

 

[Grandavi]

That's harsh, we have been lucky in western Canada, however... Canada gets dragged down eventually as the States fall

Nice Supra bro... I like it! I would change the rims only,but this is just me and my taste!

Referring to my Work Seeker Rims? They are unique.. lol. I picked them up for fairly cheap because I intend to go widebody in the future and dont want to fork out 4-5k for wheels twice... These are really nice.. they are straight as an arrow.. lightweight and give it a bit more flash for now : )
(Work Seekers were discontinued in 2002 I think, so these rims are 12 years old off of a 350Z. They are true Work wheels though and I noticed a huge difference in ride afterwards at higher speeds)

As a brand, Work wheels are one of the best!
As for the ones you got, I should take a look
on more pictures of them and your car!
Anyway..nice ride!

Yes, active spoiler control switch from a mk4 Supra used for scramble boost control of the AVC-R.
And the other switch is again from a mk4 Supra ( 'Traction' ) used for TEMS firm override control.

Borrowing my tricks??? LOL
Be my guest! And good luck with your project..

That did hurt my wallet a lot.. And the customs fees here, that were charged on every single item.. :-(

This month I will order my new turbocharger...
Stay tuned for it's presentation and installation on the car... !

I don't care what anyone says, your dashboard is amazing.

Who makes that tire PSI gauge if you don't mind? And the tire valve inserts?

Thanks buddy..!
My TPMS is made by 'Orange' brand.
It also indicates tire temperature in C'/F', like pressure in Psi/Bar.
It has 'Low' and 'Hi' peak sound & visible alarms/warnings.
Nice unit and very useful . Tire pressure (and temp.) is very important...

 

[snowman]

Thanks for the info SC! Temp as well? Wow, I wonder what could be the next invention in the automotive world to come to the consumer. Wonderful car SC, and thanks once again.

Hello again forum members and guests!
After 1.5 year break, I am here again with plans in my mind for my 2JZA70 Supra.

I decided to go for :
# New turbocharger
# Stuff to keep down eng/turbo temperatures.
# Revised fuel system
# Carbon parts
# New and better tune by a great tuner!

 

[SupraClaou]

Parts starting to come in the mail finally....waiting time from U.S. or Japan is from 2-4 weeks ;-)

Well first thing to pop up is a Carbon Fiber targa.
Got it from a member here on the supramania forum!

Looks nice,can't wait to install it.
But I need to get many oem parts for it..maybe from a used oem targa.
Already ordered the weather strip rubbers,roof pad silencer,clips,screws etc. from Toyota.

Here's the beauty !

 

[SupraClaou]

Update :New parts came in the mail today.. :icon_bigg

Carbon fiber cooling panel

TRD shift knob

TRD 1.3 Bar radiator cap

TRD seat belts pads (carbon style,looks cool)

TRD valve caps

3 inch , aluminum 90' turbo elbow (for the new turbo)

3 inch aluminum pipe for the turbo to IC

Mines turbo blanket (for mid to big frame turbo housings)

New 45' degree silicon coupler ,3'' t-bolt clamps and turbo oil drain flange (-10AN)

Titanium heat wrap and ss tie wraps (for downpipe)

 

[SupraClaou]

A nice box came today... ;-)

 

[Insidious Surmiser]

wow :drool: got some shiny stuff for the soup a/r 100 eh? must be building a top-end monster :evil2:

now I've gotta ask, since I've been trying to obtain parts for my car (and have been met with miserable failure) how do you go about ordering parts from toyota?

reason I ask is I've tried ordering tail light gaskets from suprastore and they forgot about my order or something... never processed it. so I went to toyota, same thing happened :aigo:
