texis30O Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 The harness for the car is now back. Gauges are installed in the dash. For now all gauges will be in the dash, I am potentially working on a triple gauge pod for the driverside windshield pillar. ( working with a friend..) I sent the Supra in for AEM v2 standalone. I just might have a chance to get it back before the end of the year.... but I am not holding my breath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihiryu Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Where are those gauges?! When are you going six speed in the supra? I've got a few VQ transmissions with your name on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texis30O Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 Supra is staying auto. It is a cruiser for me. That way the wife can drive it..... I am fighting the urges to build it up........ I will be back at the shop on Monday. I will get a pic of the set up and post up. I will be picking up the Supra and checking on the Dato.....

texis30O Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 Gauges are set for now. I will be changing things up later with a triple pilar gauge pod at a later date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texis30O Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 Shhh I don't think so..... BUT I am getting the Supra back this Friday. I think that the car should be up and running around that week of Christmas. I am not sure it will be tuned and fully driveable. As it still needs the cage and I don't want to get it without it being in the car. My luck I will twist it up like a pretzel. Lots of little things to do. I still have to put in the interior. I got a few rolls of sound deadener to put in the car as well as a vinyl/ foam mat for the floors. I will also need to build up the rear deck..... Then there is the lighting issue..... I have been spoiled by my led projectors on my daily that I will end up doing the same on the Z, as well as full led tail lights and side markers..... See the list goes on and on. But at least the hard part is almost over.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itrjon Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I love the setup! hopefully you get the car back tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texis30O Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 I am headed to go work on the Z at the shop. I am putting in a sound and thermal shield today. The Pupra is out, but some issues with the tune, I will be driving that back today to have them look at a few things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texis30O Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 The dash is back in, all gauges are installed in their present location. There will be some eventual changes on locations ( I will make a triple gauge pod for the driver's pillar as well as a custom piece for the dash where the HVAC system was originally). I am adding sound deadening materials to the car as I can or as I have them available. We took the OEM heater and all associated heating equipment out as I am going with a Vintage air system eventually. The car will hopefully start up tomorrow, at the very least this week. Then a once over before the dyno and street tunes. I am heading out to Nebraska tomorrow for a few days of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I sure do like the state of those floor pans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texis30O Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 That is what happens when your car is a garage queen and doesn't see the rain........ Also it is a 88xxx mile car.... rear quarters were a different story...... the P/O had the wheel arch lips "fixed" back in the early 80s and it seems the body shop took him for a ride and plastered bondo all over the panels. When the flares were put on they cut out bondo that was over 1/2" thick...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Almost there! Have you had to do anything to the hood to clear the Magnacharger? I missed earlier - did you build your own mounts or use some already available? Also, what diameter is your exhaust - 4"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
