MIV Supra Aero Top

4 months pass as I wait for news finally I hear this. Had a great text last night to tell me the head is back on the rest should be getting bolted up this weekend then its just reinstalling it and MOT

Righty, Overfuel is fixed downside VSS are shot due to the fuel eating them. So head off job with everything that goes along with it.

So here we go the car is loaded up and sent to RobD who I considered a mate…..

So it starts off ok ish. The wiring from the number 6 was botched (before i got the engine) I didn’t see it was hacked and connected it as I saw it. Forced the inject to open full plet, it was from an old alarm system designed to cut power to the injectors

She’s all done considering we both had full time jobs this was quite an achievement

OK this is where the build and life kinda knock the poop outa me. So the car is suffering from massive overfuel. I try checking injectors, ecu and various other bits. However around this time I found out some really hard family news and the car got put in the garage for a while. Until the now banned RoBD offered to help get it working……what follows is a total disaster that nearly ended the car and resulted in a full engine rebuild…….and my lack of faith in humanity being pushed to new levels before being renewed in a way I never knew possible….Its a bumpy ride from here on out….

More body work and new spoiler

Leaving colin to do the final bits before shes ready from primer.

Engine lifted, rested, Cambelt changed, plugs removed, and cranked over to make sure its still moving ok engine at 81560KM at time of install

More blending and body work ongoing
