Yeah the Veilside body kit for the Supra is terrible, haha. A lot of the body kits for Supras are terrible actually... I blame the 90s for it. Don't really plan to do much with the exterior of this car as far as body kits go, and if I do it'll be very clean and simple. The plan is to keep stock body and just always be rocking badass wheels.
I picked up the Veilside exhaust this afternoon... its awesome. Great condition and unbelievably light... you'd really have to pick it up to understand. Its a 7' long pipe with flanges, hangers, and a muffler, and it weighs 9 lbs total... totally insane.
I'm uploading pics now from last night... I stayed real late and got a lot of little necessary stuff done.
-sealed up the 8 holes left behind from the previous owner's harness mounts. Used bolts, washers, nuts, dynamat from the inside and rubberized undercoating from the outside.
-put back on oil filter housing, engine mounts, coolant hard line onto the block after painting.
-put back on all accessories, pullies, belts, and timing belt covers... front of the engine is all buttoned up
-fred helped with the wiring of the dual pump setup in tank so thats ready to get sealed up
-i pulled the trans cause it was kind of in the way
-dropped the entire front crossmember as per the painter's request
-removed the entire fuel tank breather hard line from the front to the back of the car. will replace it with a short soft line that vents at the rear
-cleaned up and swept up the work area... and it needed it
brake cleaner, wire brush, clean rag, masked, 2 coats of high temp paint
tape pulled off
intake side getting reassembled
exhaust side getting reassembled
front back together
67mm vs. 61mm...
dual pump setup
hanger doesnt want to sit flush in the tank, cant figure out why... when i spin it 60 degrees it sits flush but its not lined up properly then
wtf... previous owner decided to make swiss cheese out of the pass side trans tunnel. no idea why... gotta seal it up though (lit from the back to see the holes easily)
8 holes in the floor from harness eyelets plugged... bolt/washers/nut plus dynamat from the inside and rubberize undercoating from the outside
front crossmember out
trans out... 6 speed, just as strong as the sti gearbox, except considerably smaller and lighter, weird.
