project MX3 Turbo.

You must of come quite close to a few then to know exactly what they look like

They called me the Italian Stallion in high school...

The new armrest is nice, but will the top have to remain open when you have a cup/can in the holder? Awkward like a boss

[DeeAOne]

Looks so good with the Brocks! Good work!

[Teknomaz]

If I made some much deeper alu. inserts then yes you would be able to close the lid with
a large can in there no problem as they tool I spun them on is about 150mm long so I might actually do that

Cheers DeeAOne now its getting a bit warmer I wanna slap some paint on them see what they look like.

Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
A horse left something in your car
Your handbrake is a horse penis.

I laughed my ass off at this.

Car is coming together nicely though. Always wanted to see more of these modified, but even more so mx6's.

With fitting different make seats to a car you always have the issue of the seat belt buckles not being the same. Instead of ripping apart the buckle connection off the MX-3 seats which are still in use I am going to be retro fitting a whole new seat belt assy to the car complete with matching buckle to the Celica seats.

Pair of Securon 500/15 belts purchased:

We call Her Black beauty..naaaahhhh

center console back in...



Car failed MOT today!

High Lambda.
Inner wear on both front tires.
Rear service brake inefficient.
Rear fog not working.
ABS light not working.

So I think the big decision has been made to take Her off the road for a few months fix those issues myself which including painting the new wheels with some new rubber , get the Celica seats & seat belts in and fit the Turbo.

I've got 99 problems but time ain't one.

Bummer about the MOT fail, that would piss me off to no end. In to see the progress, since you pretty much HAVE to work on it now haha.

[Teknomaz]

That's the difference between me and you, I look at it like a challenge and a good time
to learn about diagnosing problems and fixing shit.

Right up date on the MOT situation:
ABS light now functioning correctly after I reconnected the split wire in the rear sensor.
OE black dials being fitted with black gauge rings and red needles.
OE CAT is not blocked nor is there any exhaust leaks, however the Lambda probe looks decidedly white in Colour, so I'm assuming silicone poisoning along the line somewhere.
Already had one part worn (6mm) 195/50/15 so I have bought another, so that's the front tires sorted.
Someone is lending me the rear brake winder tool on Monday so will get new discs and pads in the week.
Also this morning fitted a new sump plug and crush washer which has stopped the weeping and chucked in some Stop smoke treatment as it chucks out a little blue smoke in the cold mornings...

Took some photos while She was nose up in the air...











Also invested in a Torins big red 1.25 Alu low profile Jack to make life easier.

[Teknomaz]

SPEC stage II clutch now on order from the States! Whilst I was messing around with abs bulbs decided I wanted the old dials back so removed the green ones and painted the needles red this time...

[244Brick]

Glad to see all is fixed! what's left to pass MOT?
