PaRaDoX's MA71 Manual Turbo Targa Supra

[PaRaDoX]

yeah oh well clutches go, i got the car going good, but i ended up in hospital because of the bloody car.....

lets say spring clips deserve to die!!!!!!!! (copped a direct hit to the eye hard...)
oh well ill be ok just gotta take it easy

so anyway i finished the car, and holy crap does it go better... it will axel tramp in 3rd gear when it comes onto boost (3rd gear pull)

as a result the clutch is really un happy, got my intercooler going on tommorrow, and ill do the clutch in 2-3 weeks and im going to get a new cat soon, getting a boost cut eliminator aswell, (bigger cooler = 15psi is safe!) so 15psi big cooler new clutch and free flowing exhaust should be good at the drags


ive got some vidoes of the weekends fun but i cant post them up here for obvious reasons

[PaRaDoX]

[PaRaDoX]

i bet no one even reads this :P

Should have one of these soon!

[Jo3_Blo]

Wow, lovin the pink lol.

[f1tzy]

Lol pink. How much power should that clutch be able to handle? and how much did it set you back

[PaRaDoX]

im hoping it should take 250-300rwkw of abuse, but we'll see =)

costing me $300, possibly cheaper.. waiting to see!

[PaRaDoX]

replaced the radiator and added a fan shroud (should help with my heat issues), patched up some things, ummm, gets wheelspin in first now (mid gear )
still cant snap 2nd, not sure why... i think for some reason when i do it hits boost cut?


ummm clutch some time plays up, im getting a daily soon soo ill be pulling it off the road and ripping the motor out and fixing a few things

anyway heres a nice picture of it!



those nasty green plates are on for 1 more day (come off tuesday morning)

[Wagon_Wheel]

Looks good man, did you end up getting that clutch you wanted at the right price?

[vnv8driver]

sweetest pic ive seen of it yet, looks like a good wallpaper... and yes we do read your thread updates but were scared of being beaten by a 4 cylinder when you jack the boost up to 20psi so we dont bother replying

[Jo3_Blo]

I thought supras had a straight six.......or so I was told.


LOoks good mate. Whats the empty gaps next to the indicators? Did you take something out of there for better airflow?

[VN_Luke]

3.0 litre twin cam straight six, if I'm not mistaken?

plenty of potential!

[Jo3_Blo]

Yeah that sounds more like it. I was just referring to VNV8driver.

[PaRaDoX]

yeah its a inline 6 turbo, the supra is comming off the road very soon, (as soon as i pick up my new daily)

im going to do the clutch, some bearings and what ever else i feel needs to be done, then ill put it back on the road and have some fun

clutch wont hold any power right now, but the motors going perfect :P


i bought a daily today, should get it in a 2-3 weeks. its a 1998 Magna wagon =)

[kniever]

fair enough you get a supra but you coulda gotten a holden for a daily lol jks.
cant wait to see what times you run, i really love turbo's, nothing better than when the boost kicks in

[PaRaDoX]

yeah but all the commodores i looked at are in **** condition, imo nothing comes as close as the magna for value, i paid a little over $4000 for a 98 model with 190,xxx km, rwc and its in mint condition!

i was looking at a VT or a BA wagon (i wanted a wagon) but to get a good one id be paying close to 7-8k without RWC

PLUS id be tempted to do up a commodore, magna is FWD, has nice paint, its a 3L better on fuel than a commodore, etc many reasons for my choice
this car is to drive to work and back everyday (it will be getting LPG)

[kniever]

yeh good thinking, and bloody clean car man

[PaRaDoX]

it goes forwards, backwards, left and right... not fast but it gets there!

[rch-13z]

nice tidy daily bud....

With the Supra, if your gonna change the rim's make sure you get something with a huuuuge dish.... Nothing comes close to it...

Yeah they look real good with a dished rim on them. It's a pity about that crack in the front bar would look very neat otherwise

[PaRaDoX]

front bars crap i just touched it up..

ive got a spare which ill get painted one day, and a spare nose cone,

im thinking i might go a button clutch now as its being promoted to weekender status..

no idea what ill do for rims, imo i dont care yet, current wheels have tons of tread left on them so why replace something that aint broke.. yet :P

i might pull the motor in a few months and stop any leaks, remove aircon (as you do) meanwhile fit the magna with lpg and ummm err drive it? :P

[PaRaDoX]

just orderd a exedy button clutch (not cushioned)

should be good for 300-400rwkw, also swapping to a 1JZ kframe crossmember (ive got the mounts) as my motor has the wrong engine mounts and its kinda rough / sets off the knock sensors i think

Should look something like this, im going to pick it up shortly

[PaRaDoX]

picked the clutch up got a free spigot bearing and a clutch alignment tool incl clutch for $400

bargin i reckon!

[Pub247]

Thats a good deal where did you get it from parts store?

[PaRaDoX]

Northern Brake and clutch in kensington, (north melb) victoria

i called exedy a while ago and they said these guys are our best dealer...
and they were right!

a HD would have cost $300!

if anyone wants their number i can give it to you! apparently exedy price rise in 3 days thats why i got it now

[Pub247]

I just bought a HD for a v6 cost $220 he said prices go up one the 1st december
