Exotic1's latest G project!!! Tons of pics during updates
#32
A few more parts trickled in over the weekend. Come Monday I should have a few new pics to post up of the build. Working on some custom mirrors and a new roof spoiler. Will post pics of both up as i get them finished. Cant wait for the manifold to show up. As soon as it rolls in I can get the turbo on, oil lines attached and get the engine back in the car where it belongs. Plenty more pics to come so stay tuned.

D@mn! Manifold came in today via UPS. Thought this thing was never gonna get here. So I have it sitting on for the time being for a pic. Also have to chop off and weld the new wastegate flange to accept my Tial unit. Pics of that to come as well. However here are a few pics of the latest. Enjoy.

I used an OBX manifold. I have used other Ebay manifolds in the past from different places (whos names I wont say) that either cracked, didn't fit worth a d@mn, or just weren't right. I have never had a problem from any OBX manifold.

Roof spoiler is lookin good. Cant believe people havent done more with these yet. I think there are about 2 to choose from and I wasnt about to pay for one that I didnt like so I am making this one. Cant post pics yet and sorry guys, wont be a "how to" on this one. However I am gonna make a few extras so I will post up pics as soon as its ready.

Well Thanks for the compliments guys. I do appreciate them. Just got back from vacation so its time to get back to it. I will be posting up new pics all next week. Got sideskirts, water pump, pullleys, etc. in over the last week that I was gone so this should be good. Cant wait to get back on it. I am wanting to get this project done by the end of July so I can make it to Import Alliance. Gotta roll down w/ Zeb and Steve so I gotta have this thing done. Tired of those two wrapping everything on the East Coast up...
More pics to come. Stay tuned guys/ladies

Well been gettin kicked in the sack over this water pump. If you order a water pump for a Supra make sure to order the backing plate for it as well. The Aristo back plate bolts up but they wont move enough water since the blades dont stick out of the housing far enough. With out the Supra back plate its just not gonna work correctly for me. SOOO ordered yet another Supra water pump. Should be here around 9ish in the morning so I may actually get this thing together and in the d@mn car at some point this week.
As far as the roof spoiler goes. The few I am making will be topped with carbon fiber. I have red, and regular carbon fiber here. Since my car is red I will have both in case I wanna swap em but most of em im gonna do black carbon. I will get pics up soon but I can mess w/ that till the motor is in the car.
New pics to come once I finally get something done....
