Small update

Almost finished running the lines for the brake setup...trunk side is all plumbed.



New bumper arrived, so I did a quick test fit



and some more goodies that showed up!





I've also ordered an autometer speedo and tach, as well as got a fuel level and water temp gauge. A custom cluster will be made to house all 4 gauges.
Now the goal is to continue saving some money and get it out for paint.

As in Calypso?

Very good choice sir!

Thanks
I always thought burgundrot and calypso were too different colours, they're very close.
I could be wrong tho.

I'm excited to see, or not see (hint) the brake lines.

w00t.

The new colour of the car will be an oem bmw colour
Burgundy Red Metallic (hopefully this will be the last time I change my mind)

small update:

once everything was set up, all vacuum lines connected, fuel pressure set ect, i was still getting tell tale signs of a vacuum leak..did some testing and found that i need a new set of intake manifold gaskets. A set has been ordered. While I wait, an exhust system will be fabbed up. I can't wait to hear it actually build some boost with an an exhaust on it!

[Hayden]

Can't wait to see how it turns out.Subbed.

[EuroNut]

Thanks everyone!

Looks great man!
So how did you do the wiring was it as difficult as you thought?

I just found the pinouts and wiring diagrams for both cars... it was intimidating at first, but once I got started it all became pretty straight forward...the hardest part was integrating the missing relays that are normally connected via the supra's body plugs.

cant wait to see it all painted and wheels mounted
