  1. The supra is coming along along nicely IMG_0721.MP4
  2. The dash is out at the moment. I'm only using the front seats roof lining & dash with factory instrument cluster. The will be no carpet or rear seats & after it's been to the track the fan & heater will come out as well. The supra is still got the auto box in it & as I can't find a M series bell housing I won't be using this running gear. Not sure what I'm going to use right now but I'm always thinking about it.
  3. Lots of has been done. It's coming along nicely.
  4. The supra rebuild is coming along nicely so come & have a look.
  5. Rear glass & new steering wheel.

  8. Hi I got myself a 1983 MA61 Celica Supra that I will be using as my track car so I will not be finishing this project however I am considering putting the ford running gear in the supra. If you would like to see this project you can see the progress here
  9. 1983 Toyota supra. 5me auto
  10. I decided to make a custom crossmember so I can use the factory sump & oil pickup. I don't have any pics at the moment but will keep posting as often as I can.
  11. So the project is slowly moving again I got a 40 litre fuel cell with a 380 lph fuel pump with some 3/8 aeroflow efi fuel line.
  12. Not much progress at the moment waiting for some parts to come. I made the new gearbox mounts and gave them a test fit. The gear box is still sitting a bit low so more mods are needed. I also went to the wreckers & got the power steering pump, tensioner, harmonic balancer & water pump pulley.
  13. I removed the factory engine mounts to make way for my custom mounts.
  14. Hello I would like to introduce myself my name is jay & I own a 1984 Celica RA65 XT. When I purchased this car in 2012 it was a beautiful running good condition vehicle with the dream of turning into a drift car. So hear we are in 2017 & my beautiful car is not so good. So the story goes like this. I am self employed with an extremely low income with a family, so money is tight most of the time so we make do with what we've got. Lets just say building a drift car is going to take some time. So back to the car, all was going well, I was keeping the car in good condition starting & running it every couple of weeks so i decided to star on the turbo convertion. I already had a turbo I purchased for a previous project that was scraped so I built myself a custom turbo manifold & put the turbo on th 22re, plumbed it all in with an intercooler & there you go one turbo 22re Celica happy days & then one day I went to start it up & no go. So is started to look at the obvious things(air, fuel, spark). I found there was no fuel & no spark. So I call an auto elec & got him to look at fixing the problem but he had no idea what was wrong with my car, I was deverstated all that work to put a turbo on my car had it running & then just would start. Well I wasn't going to stop there I was determined to get this car running again so I diced to remove all the problem parts & get all new ones. So I got some 3sgte fuel injectors, a megasquirt 2 ecu & wiring harness with a trigger wheel & Hall effect sensor to see if we could get the 22re pos running. But after 2 years of tryng to get that engine running again & having owned the car for 5 years I made an excecutive decition & romoved the 22re engine & w55 gearbox to try something new. So after watching an episode of mighty car mods (10 second sleeper) I spoke to my best mate & asked him what he was doing with the old Ford EB XR6 manual he had sitting in his back yard & explained what I wanted to do so he told me its mine. So this is where the story gets real interesting I now have a 1997 Ford EL engine bolted to a1991 EB XR6 5 speed sitting in the front of my Celica. This project has just started so I thought I would invite you take a look & follow me as the progress continues. Thank you for reading & hope to inspire other to start or complete there's projects no matter what others think. Just go for it.
