Interesting but I only want one, anybody want to go halves?
I'd even polish out the Supra logo as its for a MKIII, I am assuming this will fit over the MKIII brake reservoir cap too
Does the MKIV one have the wire coming out of it for fluid level or is the sensor built into the reservoir instead? I can see how the wire would foul on this cap that goes over the stock rubber one

MD how well does it work?
Not sure yet in real-world driving experience. The motor doesn't seem to move when I rev the car at idle, however the car has not been driven yet, other than off and on a trailer.Originally Posted by telram
Its simply extra insurance for me, as my intercooler piping has clamshell clamps throughout to prevent blowing off. The clamps offer some flexibility, but I have no silicone couplers to allow additional flex, so I wanted to make sure movement was limited as much as I could without solid mounts. I have stiffer motor and trans mounts, and now this as well.
I wanted to post it up because I thought it turned out aesthetically pleasing, its mounted in unique fashion, and I think it will be effective. The brackets are made from steel and are mounted to the head and the strut bar.

md, im disappointed in you with that purple CF, and where the hell is the yellow??? rep LA !!!
MDSUPERSTAR= that is a very nice engine bay... love the strutbrace, is that titanium or just a coated trd??
Is that carbon?
Thank you for the nice words.
LOL! The purple CF actually looks really good in person, although skepticism is understood. I understand it's not for everyone. Frankly, the purple is a bit loud itself, and being that I live in CA a more stealth approach would have worked better should I receive unwanted scrutiny from certain groups.
There's no yellow, although I do have a gold anodized sandwich adapter for the oil lines, but it's very difficult to see. And the throttle wheel is gold anodized! Do these count? I'd add gold brake fluid, but I converted to Dot5 because of the purple factor.
It is water transfer printing on the fan shroud, front timing covers, and cam gear cover. The coilpack cover section (which is hard to see in my bad photos) is actually an aluminum cover that was made, and is powdercoated.
Wow - looking good Mike!
Fuse box relocation and everything... Props! I dig the torque brace too - novel, innovative mount.
What's the plate/cover just behind the driver side shock tower?

Government cannot give anything to anybody that it doesn't first take from somebody else. Whenever somebody receives something without working for it, somebody else has to work for it without receiving. The worst thing that can happen to a nation is for half of the people to get the idea they don't have to work because somebody else will work for them, and the other half to get the idea that it does no good to work because they don't get to enjoy the fruits of their labor.

Is diptech still around? There website has dissapeared and I wanted to send them some stuff
you know im just busting your balls, i love your car and all the work you put in it!LOL! The purple CF actually looks really good in person, although skepticism is understood.

Awesome thread!
It is titanium. I then proceeded to burn it a bit with a torch to give it the colorfulness. Drop me a line and I should be able to point you in the right direction.
Thanks, Craig. The torque brace bracket mounts were a tricky situation, this idea came about and turned out pretty good in my eyes. The small silver/black capped shock tower bit is actually my PS reservoir. Decided to mount it there, as space was an issue elsewhere.Wow - looking good Mike!

I appreciate your positive feedback. All it took was time and money! :P
Sadly, Diptech closed up shop. Their work was very nice in quality, and I was sorry to see them go.
I know youre just giving me a hard time. Thank you again for the nice words.

Anyone seen pics of a Red single sup, with wire tuck, shaved bay, matte black spack plug cover that has holes or dimple dies? I recall seeing this bay and loving it but cantfind pics of it anywhere. I though it was from a SILV show.

Mike, nice steady work man. I know it's been some time involved here and what you've been doing/done so far. I've been following the sneak pic shots for awhile now including the subframe. Looks great man
