Got a little more done over the Christmas break.
Steering and brake parts arrived from t3; OEM hubs and bearings, billet caliper brackets, zero ackerman ae86 knuckels, t3 rose joint tie rods
Halfway through installing
Drivers side. JDM 17mm Slotted rotor. Modded ADM Caliper. Shaved 3mm off each pad to fit
Relocated my wiper wash and overflow reservoirs to either side of the radiator to make room for an air-box.
Replaced my Thermo Fan with a much nicer fitting unit.
Started to mock-up an air-box design. I am still looking for a stock air-box from a te71/2, or RA Celica, but if all fails ill just get this made in aluminum.
Had a new clutch line made as i snapped the one that came with the gearbox trying to bend it to shape. Much cleaner to look at now
Painted my venetians black to mach the rest of the colour scheme.
Android 18 on the rear parcel shelf
Got started on my fuel system. Ill be running a VL in-tank lift pump to a surge tank, then a Bosch 707 from the surge to the fuel rail, with a filter in the engine bay.
Got the tank out
Cut the filter off, and installed the lift pump at the same length
Now i just need a few more hoses and in-tank wiring stuff to finish it off.
As she sits now
I also recently purchased a 3tgte sump with oil returns, and am waiting on a 3tgte crank, 2tgeu lighted flywheel to arrive, for eventual turbo once the things running.
If anyone has a 3t turbo manifold hit me up!
All of my pedals are now plumbed up, steering is sorted (just need an alignment), front brakes are in, now all thats left is:
New door seals
finish front bumper mounts
install & wire rear number plate lights
Tail lights/reverse light wiring
Fill gearbox with oil
Add Coolant
Ignition wiring
Finish Fuel
Diff upgrade + rear brakes + LSD (down the track)
more i can't remember
Still a lot to do, but once i get the fuel system sorted ill send it off to get professionally wired up to save the hassle.
I just want to drive the thing again.
More to come.
