More paint work, body work to get that beautiful Copper Color on there





The hardtop is on, I always wanted it to be a hardtop. Well 15yrs later it is.





I had a custom carbon hatch and doors made, these allow the full use of the factory window motors and glass. The quality of the parts we had made for Titan is unmatched, I've never seen carbon pieces this nice for
the Supra. My next update will show the doors and hatch came to me.

New Seat for the car to

 

Subframe we built while the car was at paint came back from powdercoat. Came out fantastic. This allows you to fit any dry sump oil pan, simplifies the whole configuration of the factory setup and all of its solid mounted







New Control arms and upper mounts just came back from getting plated, bolted right onto the factory locations. I have wanted to do this setup for 5 years, and now with the awesome group we have at Titan, we're able to build a lot of the parts I've always wanted to.





My good friend Gary White as always will be returning to drive my car.



New safety features added to the car, guys the additional weight is worth it.

 

New fuel cell for the car



Intercooler is in, sticking to the air/air



Engine is in





ECU panel is made



Another new item for the car, dry sump system. We will have a full dry sump setup for the 2JZ's with a fabricated oil pan available

 

Engine is in, you can see the motor plate and full placement and maybe a glimpse of the dry sump setup



Decided to make a custom radiator, to fit with all the additional stuff in the front of the car now



Intercooler piping had to be remade, the old pipe wouldn't clear the new roll bar setup



Intercooler pipe and a good shot of the new suspension



New Rear suspension, just back from powdercoat. Thanks to FK Rod Ends for getting us great product in time for the build.

Engine bay is coming together



Battery box just got done



This arrived today, the new Motec CDL3



This is the current status of the wiring harness.



Thanks Shane T for coming to help us out. Another good friend for a long time, its good to be working together again.

 

Great progress!! Will be cool to see the car tomorrow at the open house

 

Damn! That's nuts.

 

Driveshaft Shop were able to rush and get us axles in a hurry. Thanks for getting us the parts we needed. Below is a few shots of the axles, and the hub's being installed into the rear hub's.

 

Here are some shots of the wiring, Shane somehow convinced me to buy even more Motec stuff. Like we didn't have enough already I guess we didn't so an E888, CDL3 and PDM30 were purchased for the build. Wiring in progress shots

 

Shane figured we got some time left before TX2K so he got the freaking lights working.

LOL!!! WTH happened here?!?

 

So to recap the last week, here goes.

We finally got the car to the point where started and could be tested, Tuesday night the guys loaded up and I don't think they finished till 10PM. Wed was testing in Valdosta where things were working well, but issues like a leaky diagphram on the wastegate and a few other little issues came up. I had one of the guys here, Jeff drive to Valdosta with spare wastegates, springs, and shirts that came in Wed for TX2K. They kept testing and got the car working pretty good on Wed. They had to stay to test more on Thursday and at the end of the day, the last pass we broke a bolt in the rear right hub/spindle and the car basically sat down on the wheel; at this point I was already in Houston, TX to meet the guys on Friday. Phone pictures and everything got sent over to me at 8-9PM Thursday night; we formulated a plan to have Christian and Takash come in on Friday morning at 7AM to get both left and right hub's prepped, bolts, hardware, heims and everything as spares for the car. As we could not 100% know what was wrong, we upgraded to larger bolt sizes also. I want to thank Tommy Bahn as he offered to lend me hub's if needed, but we did not want to put him out if we didn't have to. So the guys traveled Thurs-Fri from Valdosta to Houston, arriving at about 8PM in Houston.

Bottle, the smart A&& he is was able to get me the parts shipped on Friday and to the hotel on Friday by Same Day Delivery. Before you guys who order parts from us start asking for this service, its limited to area, time of day and it cost us about $1,200 to get the package to us. That's a small package, only 3 times in our racing career have i ever used this service as its not cheap.

Friday night the guys got some rest, Saturday morning they got the car prepared and we were off racing. The highlight of the weekend was the 7.59 @ 186 run. Gary even let off on that pass with 2/10 second left in the run. So we are expecting some really big things from this car, its just going to require more testing. We literally blew the doors off We believe this happened in our first 1/4 mile pass with this setup because the door window pulls itself out of the "socket" and then puts enough pressure on the outer door shell and makes the outer shell pull off. We have a few easy ideas on solutions here, just will have to come home for repair and paint and we'll be back on track with the same doors. I want to thank Clint and Ross Baird for letting me borrow their doors to finish the race.

Also wanted to thank all the fans and competitors, everyone had gracious comments about the car's revival and we were very pleased to hear them. Special thanks to the whole TX2K staff for putting on another great event.
