Mk4 toyota supra cummins build + my other cars

Only with the diesel death rattle when he shuts it off?

post time, now shows to go to so haven't bothered to do much, its been that hot with the car sat outside ive had a airline blow out twice under the big rear window


loads of sound proofing in ziplock bags to stop the foam holding water 


id rather have a drinks holder then an ashtray so made out of of a a new oil filter housing foam strips to hold and fibreglass while also filling in the  selector gap


just needs paint now


did work under the one arch seals etc stuck arch and rock slider on (for good hopefully) 


need to do other wing then front bumper trim before i can final fit front arch


start of box base 


pair made up 32 screws each need to possibly add a central brace


two side pieces done and centre needs to be redone didnt have enough to carpet in one piece  so did a temp job so make sure it fits fine


some audio 


rear pic, see a mdf piece on the left thinking of mounting speakers and subs there 


Ash

well RR can never upload the pics in order..


it might be an open diff but its a 2.541 opposed to the 3.54:1 i have, will knock all the revs down and make it perfect for going down the motorway, theoretically with this diff, gear ratio and wheel size if the tyres didnt blow apart at 130mph the top speed would be around the 200mph mark 



cut the wire on the forbidden hole, 4,000rpm  gov spring pack put in there, ignore the lack of nylock and nut on the one strut tower


dumped outside under full air pressure lift to give an idea of height, driver rear bag still just doesnt sit right 


diff stripped down for a rebuild, seals bushes etc off to get it blasted and coated 



my prefered method of bush removal 


 new bolts, drain + filler plugs and vents ordered too  all genuine so should look nice 


Ash

It's almost a sin to call this 'MadMax style', it is far too well sorted and clean looking, reminds me of those drag tractors; tiny cab at the back and huge f-off engine hanging out the front.

Looks brilliant

Havent done alot, again, but i think I'm going to turn this thread into a consolidation of the tat i own

rear diff all powdercoated and assembled (lost some pics so will get more)
bought a rebuilt performance P7100 pump at quite a price as I'm sick of the car now

textured matte black finish for OE look, rear aluminium casing done in grey/silver unfortunately it did gas out while cooking due to aluminium holding in chemicals even after blasting and cleaning 





the replacement pump



i did get bored and thought id build a k24 civic or along those lines

the FN2 type-r


the k24 donor, 3 owners and full dealer history 


wouldnt be one of my cars without doing this



But i got bored of that idea as another car i wanted for a long time came up in bits after a few people did bits rebuilding it, number 083 MG ZT260



il post more on this later, but turned up with a replacement engine not long being placed in none running, sunroof covered but open for 5 years, few evenings it now runs and drives under its own power



Ash

Il update this thread now ive got a little bit of time


started plugging things in and going around the car doing everything to get it running to see what path to go down, i was the first person to have a battery on in 5 years as the sunroof automatically shut (scared the curse word out of me as i was under the bonnet as it pulled up the plastic covers sounding like arcing cables) speedo reset from 20mph, lovely white dials in a MK1 ZT over the blue in Mk2s


i had got her up and running on 4 then 5 cylinders, injectors clogged solid 


Dale at bailey performance cleaned them out 3 times (look how nasty the fluid went)  and flow tested them all nice and even flows


changed the fluid again for the last clean



the joys of  finishing a job someone else started, let my mate pull it into the workshop and wouldnt start (after i swapped all the dash over) starter nut had fell off or wasnt installed


Whole airbag system had to be changed, ecu, driver and passenger airbag, curtains squib and stalks  along with the whole dash as it was bent from going off, cleaned all whle i was in there, front seats removed too and pre tensionsers and seatbelts changed along with crash sensors under carpet (nightmare job)


windscreen replaced off the donor car (on left)  that the airbag system came out of



uooer dash is all the same color just looks off, lower section is a gloss not satin but a deatail for later 



decided to whip the engine out as it needed some rework and rear of engine bay panels beating and patnting


oil was a big convern as it came out like it had water in there, id put fresh oil in and no water system fitted with around 6 mins it total run times in short stints moving the car

i replaced followingwith new , sump gasket, ac pump, pas pump, water pump, alternator, all aux pulleys and belt, manifold gaskets, spark plugs, oil filter, wishbone bushes to poly + arb along with a full clean down and paint of block etc 









inside of sump was nasty and baffle plate had corrosion so stripped it all down cleaned and refitted




block all cleaned and painted 


after engien refitted





whipped all suspenion off, ground off any corrosion, fertan converted twice and left over night followed by cold gav and then tinted raptor liner in silver metallic bodycolor under arches lower bay and tunnel


raptor linered, painted all brackets i had taken off and strainted and cleaned up all heat shields 


raptor came out quite alot thinner then i expected, used  2x1L bottles for this, also sprayed in holes and down chassis legs


painted all the one chassis leg in 2K MBB silver not the poundland paint it had on there


partially re-assembled  with heat shields etc, also modded and fitted a diesel sound proofing blanket across the rear bolt on bulkhead, missing piece was ordered from rimmers for near on £100 to be told (2 weeks later) its NLA  so i will have to get a normal one ( i few 3 away) and modify it 




made a new bracket to hold the pas pump, rather then to chassis make it onto the stock engine bracket using a chopped up diesel bracket and a V6 pot



i want v8 noises


safe to say v8 noises achived


remembering where half of this went


did alot of  little nigglly bits here, changing damaged plugs to nice new ones taping and coving etc along with a few broken wire repairs 

unfortunately is back in bits there as the alternator charging system has an issue, on the igniter system



new Genuine radiator, AC condensor, pas cooler 


Couldnt with the old cooling fan assembly so ordered another Genune item (my poor wallet) but looks the bits and no cracks, put all airbox assemly back in place, also ordered new bonent cables (x3) aftermarket clips afor them and 2 new bonnet latches to be future proof on issues


Been doing odds and sods minor items prople wont see link swapping out bent pas rack lines to a good set i have and heater valve block repair kit, new bolts for wings etc 



Rear discs where too good to justify spending £300 on a pair for now all cleaned up inside/out and internal face with with paint, waiting on black paint for calipers the rear AP racing calipers weigh just nothing


i bought this paint  pod that said its good for "4 caliper" so far done around 12 calipers and 6 discs with about half left


price gouging on v8 parts are silly £60 for handbrake shoe? no thanks il part search it for £12.50 delivered for TRW shoes for a pugeot 607

same issue with brembo pads £120 all around some searching got them for £65, lotus for the rear and bmw for the front


numberplate + some TFR to get the green off looks half respectable, bumper needs realighing with exhausts but thats on the list 


Basically where i am upto now

Ash

pdate, zt is on the road, done around 250 miles so far with minimal shake down run issues

pair of new rear abs rings at £60 a pop, did all 4 abs sensors while i was there 


slapped some temp wheels on while getting the others redone


x4 wheels strippd blasted and powdercoated, with all new wider 245 40 18 acceleras




i developed a very unusal stray live issue, turned out the plug on the abs pump had a hole and filled with water, back fed to the new alternator and blew the diode pack, another new alternator, abs pump and abs pump plug and loom a nice £600 i could of done without spending









stripped down and repinned a mk1 vito plug setup with splash guard too 




i didnt fancy any cable issues so all 3 new bonnet cables, latches catches and cable holders to make sure its perfect 


front ball joints where knackered so got 2 new front wishbones and modified them for v8 use along with a paif of new drop links 


new dust covers, i did paint the shockers after and restticker, arch liners put in with all new clips, still need to get mudflaps 


it was going to have new top mounts but....yeah


alor of checking and rechecking, all lights working (have a short issue atm) getting it all lined up and routed correctly small brackets in place and screenwash bottle repaired leak checked etc, just boring time consuming items 


first time front end was reassembled with plate etc 


was abit of a o curse word moment but coolant system took some burping, had to strip the scuttle panel down as 2 heater hoses leaking, common issues with silicone hoses mew clips with sealer and pressure tested the cooling system over normal operating pressure came back ok 



have a short in a wire somewhere still to be found, quite a large one to pop a 50amp mega fuse to the LSM 


about 10hp and 5ft lbs down from factory rating after 17 years, i  can live with that 




scrubs up well after the first clean




Supra is back out of the compound, it lost all the brake fluid, no idea where as no internal or external leaks, sorted that and vaccum pump issue, had the new fuel sat in the boot just cba to change it 



Ash

Might have to check your master cylinders to see if the bore seals have failed?
Looking forward to more supra content!

Little progress post, double return bent in around the turbo cutout for strength and then after this pic welds ground back and prepped for powdercoat

going through boxes and boxes to get all the correct trim clips and such out 

put all gloves boxes, kick panels carpet securing panels and side pieces in hopefully for good and trimmed back some plastic to go in around the roll cage 












pair of mirrors off a s1 landrover and mounts made up, left masking tape on the door a little too long and it pulled some paint off, these are all cleaned up now and off for powdercoating too
