[GS|works]

Beautiful car. Why not consider a 20v or a 3sgte?

[ZammoTheChoppa]

I love the SR20DET just no in a toyota

being a conisuer of all things Metally and toyota i cant condone it (y not F20C)

and if your looking for info try toymods.org it woulda saved you the hassle with ae86 crossmember

and for parts still a few over here in OZ so you have options

and sleeka spares on Egay has NOS for them

[BoostMe]

Nice sillycar but you sir will burn in hell for putting that Neesarn lump into a classic toyota :P

HOW MUCH ARE BUMPERS WORTH OVER THERE

my gawd the wreckers over here let them rust in the paddock LOLs

Ha. I'm no purist but the S15 SR is a great motor and could put down around 310whp on the stock turbo which is plenty of power for this car. I wouldn't feel bad if I went that route. Exploring LS1 options also

The bumpers run anywhere from $500-1500 a set. Hell almost every part for this car is hard to find so everyone prices them as gold.

1UZFE´s are nice! ut why not lraving it a 6 or 4 cyl? just curious.. I'm not so fond of v8's.. I do like 1UZFE's though..

[BoostMe]

Stupid idea. April fools on me for not doing more research.

Love the updates on this car.

Was out of town most of the weekend, but I did accomplish a few things. I removed the Wilwood calipers and lines so they were not damaged while under construction, and took the time to remove all of the brake hard lines in the engine bay and running to the rear. Also removed all of the fuel hard lines.

The engine bay is now 100% stripped. Soon I will be getting many of the holes welded up and the after fab work get it prepped for paint. One of the thing I have decided to do, if I do not paint the whole car yet, is go ahead and paint the engine bay the new color I will be painting the rest of the car eventually.

On Friday I received my new heim jointed outer tie rods but they were about and inch too long, so I will be ordering shorter ones tomorrow.

Man you work fast! This is sweet, i love what your doing, classy and with taste. Keep up the good work man!

[BoostMe]

Well this weekend I didn't do much. I was able to get the fuel tank and neck removed. I also removed the remainder of the AC components from the interior, and reversed my camber plate tops to widen the stance of the front wheels about half an inch on each side. The new manual rack and pinion is all assembled now also with Megan inner and outer tie rods (Still waiting on the outers to come in). The Megan inners have a 5mm spacer machined into them for increased steering angle.

Only shot I have is from when I removed the fuel tank. I plan on leaving it out and installing a fuel cell in the trunk, replacing the spare tire cutout with new sheet metal.

damn that's Clean, just need to paint it body color

After all of my fab work gets done I will be putting in new sound deadner. The solid suspension makes road noise loud inside the car!
