http://www.supra.co.nz/rebuild/fanthumb.jpg (http://www.supra.co.nz/rebuild/fan.jpg)
i made a fuse box cover as well... coz my intercooler piping is now going to go in front of the fusebox under the headlight so i had to hide all the wiring just to tidy it up some :)
Battery cables are no longer there, was a temporary power measure hehe
http://www.supra.co.nz/fuseathumb.jpg (http://www.supra.co.nz/fusea.jpg)
http://www.supra.co.nz/fuse2athumb.jpg (http://www.supra.co.nz/fuse2a.jpg)

Resized the hole under the left headlight to fit 3" i/c piping and put edging stuff around the hole so it doesn't cut my i/c pipes
http://www.supra.co.nz/rebuild/coolersthumb.jpg (http://www.supra.co.nz/rebuild/coolers.jpg)

custom tranny lines are being sorted out tomorrow for pricing and to start work on them :)
i finally got round to repolishing my cam covers as they oxidised fairly badly, you can see it on the 3rd valve cover.. all the white stuff, have yet to clean that part lol and also did the final polish on the intake mani so they are all bling bling again :D

Nick 95 6sp 03-09-2007, 09:03 AM awesome job.
Not surprised though, I always heard good things about Kiwi babes.
suprra_girl 03-10-2007, 11:17 PM hehe thanks :D
i've since remounted the oil cooler so thermostat mounting is a little easier and moved the overflow bottle so it wouldn't impede air flow to the cooler :)
I'll be replacing the banjo bolts with 45 and 90 deg pushlock fittings

SPL-MKIV 03-13-2007, 10:11 AM Very impressive work to be doing on your own. Thanks for posting pictures of your project. Always nice to see step by step photos :D
suprra_girl 05-02-2007, 05:38 PM i got my custom transmission oil cooler lines made up FINALLY yayyyy :D
they now go under the bellhousing and up the intake side of the car to the cooler as the ss manifold doesn't allow for tranny cooler lines
I've made a bracket to hold the lines clear of any other parts so there's no rub and spurt possibilities lol
and here's pics :D

supramacist 05-14-2007, 11:59 PM She painted it where it sat, so far as I can tell.
suprra_girl 05-23-2007, 04:25 AM i primed the engine bay etc but the rest was done in a garage lol
i didn't even realise i had replies
a few more updates now :D

supramacist 05-23-2007, 04:41 AM Ya GIRL. It would be nice if you post up in here and spread your wisdom.
THAT, would be cool even though I am a 91 na 5 spd. It's still cool to see a chick building a muscle car. I mean that it the most positive way it can possibley be taken.
Nick 95 6sp 05-23-2007, 07:42 AM Very nice work, congratulations.
Your oil cooler reminds me that I need to get one into my car since my oil temps were too high at my last track day.
supramacist 05-23-2007, 02:24 PM That's because your disco music was smokin. man.
Nick 95 6sp 05-23-2007, 07:41 PM ahhh, the disco factor again. I keep forgetting about that. I'll have to look in the FSM for the disco delete procedure.
suprra_girl 05-24-2007, 11:56 PM so i've got the bov done & the i/c is being done and i pick it up on monday :D
also picked up some nice new toys ;)

Nick 95 6sp 05-25-2007, 08:19 AM I can see for sure that you're a "girl" since you never seem to stop shopping ...in this case for your car so at least I can relate to that. You don't also own 1000 pair of shoes do you? If you have any disco shoes, don't mention it here or else.
supramacist 05-25-2007, 03:39 PM Man the disco was stock. I hear the only way to get rid of it is to get hair implants like David Lee Roth did and now he rocks again, lmmofoaofffff.
SG: How did you get your fan so clean because I was going to do mine and use like a real fine grit and wet sand it.
Kind of thinking about painting it actually., any thoughts or comments.
EDIT: paint it chrome or gold over some primer.
suprra_girl 05-25-2007, 04:19 PM LOL yes i do seem to shop alot for my car hehe
i only buy new shoes for my car ;)
i used cut n polish on the fan, does a great job :D
http://www.crc.co.nz/images_prods/249.jpg
supramacist 05-25-2007, 06:10 PM Think I am going to hose it dowm with pb blaster and see how that does. Sinse I have an over abundance of it.
suprra_girl 06-04-2007, 07:47 AM ^ how'd ya go with your fan?
and i have done......
so i had this pic.....
http://www.supra.co.nz/rebuild/rpm2thumb.jpg (http://www.supra.co.nz/rebuild/rpm2.jpg)
