Not quite.

It’s like asking how much someone paid for their car or how much they paid for some gangster rims.

I guess it all depends on how sensitive you are or not.

To me it’s not a big question, but sorry if I offended anyone asking the said question.

  1. Removed Everything From Trunk
  2. Cut Holes In The Trunk
  3. Make Mock Up Of Fuel Cell
  4. Make Custom Fuel Cell Holder

So…everything on the list above got done all i gotta do tmr is head to the store buy some washers and then weld everything in!

Tank sits nice and level also we plan on welding the bolts on the underside of the bracket so the tank can drop onto it and the nut just has to be put on…example below!!

anyways onto the pics!!

  1. Finished Bracket
  2. Welded Bracket In
  3. Painted Trunk In Primer
  4. Painted Trunk In Black

The fuel cell bracket is now complete it’s welded and bolted into the car so I don’t think it’s going anywhere. Also painted the trunk and plan on making a custom wall around the trunk will have pics when I get there…I also picked up my Q45 front rotor to test it out on the back of my car with the brembo calipers I picked up awhile back. I also have a shot of the body harness getting ready to make its move to inside the car & to get shortened.

The Back came out kinda bad at the bottom of the trunk, but thats ok you cant see it and your not going to see any of the bracket after we finish making the mount cover for the cell.

p.s. thanks Will for the rotor!

Today I took on the body harness!!! NEVER AGAIN!!! LOL i spent about 4-5hrs outside today to get it where i have it…It was a big task, but i did it next step is picking up my mesh wire loom and getting everything nice and neat & connecting the harness together. Also in one of the pics you can see i got the front harness to be as thick as an iphone!! awesome!

whats up acidz thats alota progress from the last time i came on here.this thing should be as light as a 2j swapped s2k man lol. i dont know if you have ever been in a 700whp+ supra, i have… they are very stable to the ground cause of their weight. our 240`s on the other hand is all over the road.its also a totally different feeling from a 4banger with 500whp or even more.put it this way my setup scares the living shit out of me lol. Not to scare u or anything but u will need A LOT OF GUTS over 500hp with the 2j in our chassis because of the way this motor makes the torque as you will learn for yourself! remember i told u so… but keep up the good work man, after the adrenalin rush is gone after you do a pull, your car will put the biggest smile on your face each n every time lol.

Today spent a bit of time outside looming the harness inside the car + making the panel for the fuses which i got to clean up a bit more so everything sits right…it was more a test fit before the final product. :slight_smile: I also repainted my engine bay since it was looking all ugly & i have a before and after shot. :slight_smile: The first shot has some light sanding before i painted
