  1. I'm still ready to walk away may even have someone who wants to buy me out of it as it stands and he is definitely interested in buying it once its done
  2. Took a few more pics today and had to plan a few small changes. The SRD manifold is way too big & we would have to modify quite a bit to get it to fit so will sell that & use the stock one - shouldn't effect power too much The turbo manifold is now being modified to relocate the external waste gate. Due to the length of the engine, the radiator is a very tight fit so we have removed the slam panel and will have a custom fabricated solution put in place - this will make life a lot easier in the future also if the engine ever need to come out for anything. we are hoping to turn the key on the engine by the end of the month - at which point assuming its all OK and drivable I will get the car back to run in the engine I'm also planning on raising the suspension a bit. I'm not interested in having a "hell gay stanced car" I want my car to be useable instead
  3. Custom gear box mount made and fitted which in turn means Will be popping up the garage tomorrow so will grab a few more pics
  4. I popped around the stand a few times but didn't manage to catch any of you Saw the track session though - nice to see my old engine going strong Grundy
  5. I did hence the spare 2jz supras are @*!# anyway I hated mine. Same could be said about any car though - why modify them? Just buy something better
  6. Well done Not sure what your point is though? Especially considering the number of issues you've had & the relative lack of power compared to this build
  7. It's a relatively small turbo Full boost by 3800 rpm
  8. Please feel free to try our car insurance scheme Do you insure engine swapped zeds?
  9. More updates Hopefully the engine and box will be sat in the engine bay by the end of the week
  10. I think he may be getting a race logic traction control unit
  11. OK, im definitely not going to make it Ad - Who is top of the list? If they make a donation to the club and PM me their address I'll send my ticket on Monday for them
  12. Thanks to Adrian for supplying the brake lines for the Akebono kit Awesome service as usual
  13. My car doesn't have air con doesn't really fit though
  14. More progress and a video :scare: Sadly the video is not of a running engine but just of the engine being turned over by hand, however it is starting to come together
  15. Indigo are the biggest bunch of cowboys ever, they make a certain Supra tuner who lied about my car look good I wouldnt let indigo near a remote control car
  16. Just buy it Failing that chuck a V8 or 2JZ in there
  17. Its nice to actually see the progress myself after months of nothing happening Still hopeful of having the engine in by the end of the week but Japfest is looking like a very tall order now
  18. Some more progress being made today Forged rod & piston ARP fastners Painted block Titan motorsports oil pump
  19. My favoured way at the moment is a can of petrol and a match Just getting really fed up of this project and the amount of delays and things going wrong - not to mention the strain being put on what used to be a good friendship
  20. And as sure as night follows day, bad news follows good Turbo manifold wont fit because of the external gates I ******* hate this ******* car :bang: :bang:
