First off that is one fantastic looking car! You have done some great work engineering and crafting during the build. Have to question your thinking with the brakes. Copper line is not safe to support brakes ever! Prior post already talked about the fittings. That car will need all the stopping power you can give it!

have a week"vacation" for as far as you can call it that, cause i have plenty of work to do!

but now its time to get some serious things done...



Optima Red top battery mounted in the trunk where the spare used to sit.





hookud up all the gauges and controllers:

- watertemp

- oiltemp

- oilpressure

- boost

- wideband/EGT

- Apexi AFC Neo

- Greddy boostcontroller



only gauge that is missing is fuelpressure, but that one will arrive this week.

im really satisfied how the colours all matches up nicely





then back to the mechanical bit

tested the fuel system, had a small leak, but thats been fixed already.

now its about time i got my intercooler hoses, so i can finish that up

You're doing nice work man.





I dig the hoist. Just don't let it bleed down when there's a nice FC under the supra.
