When using the supra kit and diff, do you need to mod the rearbeam?
One of the best saff out there. Great work and good inspiration!

Thanks it's been a long road as soon as it's almost finished something else goes wrong! The beam doesn't need any mods to fit the diff just a fitting kit from mk motorsport.

Haven't updated this for a while, but it's in bits again! Twin scroll manifold cracked across 3 ports. Also decided to change from the l8 to autronic sm4 with cdi 500 direct fire, part way through fitting this and waiting on the manifold repair so I can get it to mad for mapping.
Also fitted a new oppliger motorsport inlet manifold.
Autronic set up

Thanks mate it's been a nightmare I'm starting to think it's jinxed! All the upgraded parts seem to be breaking! Almost there now until something else breaks! It's come on a fair bit since it was sat on my drive when you dropped the cage off too me.

Thanks Adam. It's a very tight fit and had to cut the corner off the battery tray to fit it, power steering pipe has to be moved too hopefully worth the aggro!

Thanks mate agree totally I didn't think it would make the front cover as there's normally something modern on there, happy it did tho.👍

Thanks mate yes a nice pick me up don't think it will ever be finished mind ! First thing to do is get my new bumper painted and on, didn't realise how bad the one on it was until I saw it in the pics.😂
Keeps me busy always something too do!!
