may not be able to run the car......as ive done some bits which means ive not been able to get all the sensors wired in......will have to see, also depends how pissed i am......

DriftLexus · 29-07-2006, 19:09

well some may have seen the changes at JAE.....

still waiting for some parts for the cooling upgrade which seems an issue now the cars Used a little harder.....was supposed to be getting sorted today, alas parcelforce has Misplaced the package!!!!!.cocks

also the fuel cell stuff still needs doing aswell as the safety equipment.

however started to put the dash together....

and even though i dislike the GT spoilers apart from when there a part of the car and not a fashion item....

i must admit it looks better now its colour coded to the car

and...had a bit of red left over so did the cam cover, and in my quest to rid the car of the chrome where i can, i have repainted the metal parts...more to go (just means less cleaning and polishing

)

Adam · 29-07-2006, 19:28

Remove the spoiler now.

Big gay wing would work but elcheapo ripspeed one will never work!

DriftLexus · 29-07-2006, 19:34

its actually an APR one.

wings you either love em, hate em...or dont care.

either way, i dont care...theres more to the car than the wing, and its more functional than the TRD one....possibly

Adam · 29-07-2006, 19:41

Good Gay Wing

Other types of bad gay wings

Not trying to offend just think the lexus is so nice already and that spoiler really does look cheap.

DriftLexus · 29-07-2006, 19:48

not offended in any way.....but come on...look at those cars

anyway, it doesnt matter personal taste, ive already admitted i dont really like em......

heres another shit chepo wing on a NZ is200 thats used for the NZ races...also 2jz powered

the guys a frind of mine phil winter....(its the same wing, just shorter struts)

oli · 29-07-2006, 20:06

i admit it does look better without, when i painted the new bootlid...i thought nice lines...but function over form i think......

d-anie-l · 29-07-2006, 20:19

wing isnt needed. otherwise its all good!

rad_brad · 29-07-2006, 20:46

still all i can say is simply "amazing"!

admittedly i prefered the old wing u had on there, but if the new one is more practical for what you're doing then not really that important what it looks like as long as it does the job

that interior is looking sweet and im liking the new colouring on the outside and under the bonnet

hope you manage to get the misplaced package from parcelforce soon so that you can get the cooling problems sorted out soon

gtst lad · 29-07-2006, 21:08

what a beutiful car, someone give me 50k now so i can make one

drax · 29-07-2006, 21:28

Keep the wing, looks smart, and works with the lines and angle of the car, ive no idea of the functionality of it, but if its doing a job, it may as well stay there looking fine

.

must be marmite.

DriftLexus · 01-08-2006, 20:30

so...lat night the mission to solve the heat soak issues when drifting were started

Out with the Viscous fan, fan shroud and std radiator

the new parts consist of x2 Pacet profans, Aluminium radiator, new coolant and water wetter

after removing the original stuff, space was created......but not enough so some fabrication and modification was required

finaly.....as in at 01:30 all was in, the wireing done, just an issue with fues poping, its been found that the initial start up of the fans draws more than 30 amps, which was the only fuses i had :yawn:

Bladerider · 01-08-2006, 21:11

Excellent !!

I love it when I see people working on my cars !!

ooops - did that just slip out !!!

DriftLexus · 01-08-2006, 21:16

........ who were you again

Bladerider · 01-08-2006, 21:19

Now,

Theres no need to be like that !!!

At the end of the day we both know who the car loves more - the dodgy lookin bloke who keeps chopping bits off it, or the suave sophisticated looking fellow who merely shaves its tyres occasionally for it !! In fact in many ways I could be a vet

jimboturbo · 02-08-2006, 17:33

lookin' nice mate!
