WOOOOOT!!! so when do the vids come?

Re: My projects
 

I have one vid, but it sounds pretty gnarly from the open exhaust, makes it sound like some mad lifter tick :(

Plus when we fired it up, found a pin hole crack in the L pipe, so had to push it back to get that welded up. I'm almost done with the mount for the TT and EBC under the radio :)

Re: My projects
 

Since the engine bay is all finished up, starting back on the interior :)

Made a mount for the TT/ EBC. Here's how it looks now in the primer:

Re: My projects
 

Lol.. Just keep finding things to fix/ improve.. and then more stuff.. lol

We took out the trailing arms today and ground them down a bit more for the 255 wides, and welded them to fix the tow problem. Got the 4 bolt in and the rear end all buttoned up.

I did some misc improvements as well. I'm sure no one cares or at least as much as me, but I'm happy :)

I got the stupid bumper sticker off.. That thing was gnarly bad, I spent 2 hours with it.

Also got a new wing on the drivers side, since the other one, the fiberglass was pretty cracked.
Then I took off the windshield washer guy. It looks alot better :)

Pulled the Buschur exhaust and found this:

So going to have to fix that..

Re: My projects
 

I'm getting so stoked!! Car is about to run!

Last night threw in the Supra pump and finished up the exhaust with a 3" electric cutout as well :)

But all I have left is to finish up the gauges then it's on to tuning!!!

Thought you guys should know :)

Re: My projects
 

Looks great. Really nice build on the cherry, and all the others look nice too.

Have you considered chopping the "FRONT" (front of engine aka timing belt side) motor mount to look more like a 2G one? It cleans up the engine bay a bit. I also machined a small square to fit into the hollow mount and welded it for strength and just to give it a finised look.

And come on, where is the pretty aftermarket pointless colored timing belt? Greddy, HKS, Power Ent.? haha.. its a 2.0L right?

Re: My projects
 

I would, but kinda need/ want the power steering for the 255 wides.

Lol.. I really don't care for the colored timing belts.. lol.
It's a 2.0 for now. Next year it'll be a 2.3 :)

Re: My projects
 

the colored belts are actually stronger kevlar re-enforced, but in no way worth the money they get for them

Re: My projects
 

I bought a pretty blue timing belt. Really wish I hadn't, but what's done is done and I have a timing belt now..that's blue.

Re: My projects
 

I did it, and kept power steering. I just put that cast iron bracket (the power steering pump bracket is attached to it) in the band saw and trimmed the unneeded part that has two studs in it.

Re: My projects
 

Its called a CUTOUT newb! ;) ~_~

Re: My projects
 

I'm a pussy little girl :)
So you just made it like a 2g style?

I have some lower springs, just unsure about cornering with the wide tires



Oh... But I drove it today :)
It is very loud! It feels like I have a hardcore system in the way it rumbles and makes the mirrors shake.. lol

FPred spools good and feels pretty good on only 15psi :)

Re: My projects

Re: My projects
 

Hahaha... when I can afford it :)

Right now I'm not working.. so yuh

Re: My projects
 

Do you get your stuff used or new?

Re: My projects
 

Most everything on the black cherry was used. Got good deals and stuff with low miles.
