Re: Toyota Supra V8 build
Thanks on both counts.
Yes the engine runs fine we brought it as a crash write off. It sounded crazy with no exhaust

Matt, I've just bought a 3D printer and I'm going to start designing a single seat track car, so if you want a new project........

Re: Toyota Supra V8 build
Ha ha yeah I should have some Sapir time when this is done!!
In all seriousness if I can help I will. I am guessing your going to print components for a model. If you need any bits making out of metal or machining doing please ask. That sounds fun.
I will want a very cheap one when they go into production though

The new home 3d printers are years ahead of the one we have at work. It was a very early model provably 5+ years old now.n

I'm going to attempt to design a full sized single seater based on the 1966 Eagle, but print it scaled so that the monocoque is 500 mm or so.

Re: Toyota Supra V8 build
Well my brother in-law is getting rid of a conservatory soon. It will either be a chill out area with a straight six coffee table and Lexus barge seats. So you can come make the coffee Or more likely it might be a clean area for building composite parts. We are looking into making moulds and then carbon bits n bobs.
Hopefully the supra will be at the next track day Ian

Re: Toyota Supra V8 build
Been busy making some bits for supra.
Engine mounts are now bang on and ready to go it. Took another 12mm off. The engine will now be as low as it can go. so that'sabout 30mm off the mounts in total.
Then made a spacer ring for a pulley as we removed some bits we didnt need. And washers seemed like a bodge.
And made a stainles steel water pipe fitting the plastic one was not what was needed.
All this has got me thinking about what i can do in my engine bay. I have been thinking about fitting a different bigger rad with a home made aluminum expatiation tank.
